Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDebugAndroidTest' java.lang.RuntimeException

Question

I migrated my android project to the AndroidX libraries and I'm having problems running Android tests.

I can compile and run the app with no issues, I can run ./gradlew assembleDebugUnitTest with no issues but it fails to run ./gradlew assembleDebugAndroidTest.

I tried clean/rebuild and invalidating caches and restarting but that didn't work either.

I'm on minSdk=21, compileSdk and targetSdk=28 and buildTools=28.0.3

Here's the full stacktrace, didn't find anything useful in it:
