Here is my gradle setup:

testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-core:2.23.0'
androidTestImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-android:2.23.0'

If I downgrade to org.mockito:mockito-android:2.22.0 the tests build and run fine.

I am experiencing this issue on Windows 10 and on Mac OS 10.13.6, both running Android Studio 3.1.4.

changed mockito version to 2.22.0 because last version is bugged because of bytbuddy dependencies ( https://github.com/mockito/mockito/issues/1511) — committed to Susanfe/sdp-event-management by deleted user 6 years ago
Instrumentation tests were fixed: 1) Mockito Android 2.23.x is not compatible with current stable Android Gradle Plugin. Android Gradle Plugin 3.3.0-beta02 or higher is needed. See: https://github.com... — committed to xmellado/clean-architecture-koin-boilerplate by xmellado 5 years ago

Just to spell out the workaround:

androidTestImplementation ('org.mockito:mockito-android:2.23.0') {
    exclude group: 'net.bytebuddy', module: 'byte-buddy'
    exclude group: 'net.bytebuddy', module: 'byte-buddy-android'
    exclude group: 'net.bytebuddy', module: 'byte-buddy-agent'
}
// Explicitly include byte-buddy 1.8.22 to fix a build error with Mockito 2.23
androidTestImplementation 'net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy:1.8.22'
androidTestImplementation 'net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-android:1.8.22'
androidTestImplementation 'net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-agent:1.8.22'

This happens when using android test modules.

I upgraded to AGP 3.3 and Mockito 2.23.4 and now get a proguard warning. Warning: class [META-INF/versions/9/module-info.class] unexpectedly contains class [module-info]

RocketRider on Jan 16, 2019

I confirm that upgrading Android Gradle Plugin to 3.3.0-beta02 the build is successful.

@zawadz88 META-INF/versions/9/module-info.class: D8: Unsupported source file type is a known issue in Android Studio and is going to be fixed in the next version.

By applying the fix suggested in https://github.com/mockito/mockito/issues/1511#issuecomment-475673168 I got it working in my Android project. So in my build.gradle I had to add:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        packagingOptions {
            exclude 'META-INF/versions/9/module-info.class'
        }
    }
}

this got rid of transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguard issue for me.

However, in the project I’m working on we also use Firebase Performance Plugin and there was a similar issue there: META-INF/versions/9/module-info.class: D8: Unsupported source file type

I got rid of it by adding:

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if (task.name.contains('transformClassesWithFirebasePerformancePlugin') && task.name.contains('AndroidTest')) {
        task.enabled = false
    }
}

as we don’t really need that to be applied to our test app.

I was able to solve this by adding the following in the root build.gradle (since i have a multi module project)

subprojects {
    project.configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
            if (details.requested.group == 'net.bytebuddy') {
                details.useVersion "1.8.22"
            }
        }
    }
}

@thevoiceless I only use mockito-android in my android test dependencies, which transitively pulls in mockito-core, and this works fine for me.
