java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.mockito.MockingDetails.getMockCreationSettings()Lorg/mockito/mock/MockCreationSettings

Question

After migrating an application to springboot, I'm facing these issues while running the jUnits. It's issue with the version conflicts. These are the dependencies and versions I'm using :

• mockito-core - 2.2.7
• mockito-all - 2.0.2-beta
• powermock-module-junit4 - 1.7.0RC2
• powermock-api-mockito - 1.7.0RC2
• powermock-classloading-objenesis - 1.7.0RC2

I can see that the MockingDetails class in mockito-core has this method getMockCreationSettings(), but mockito-all doesn't have. The test is somehow picking that class from the wrong dependency. Removing mockito-all will cause so many other tests to fail. Can someone help me with the fix ?

After facing the same issue, I looked at the stack trace:

Suppressed: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.mockito.MockingDetails.getMockCreationSettings()Lorg/mockito/mock/MockCreationSettings;
    at org.springframework.boot.test.mock.mockito.MockReset.get(MockReset.java:107)
    at org.springframework.boot.test.mock.mockito.ResetMocksTestExecutionListener.resetMocks(ResetMocksTestExecutionListener.java:81)
    ...

I checked MockReset.java at line 107 and found that the mockingDetails is injected to the project from mockito-all with version of 1.9.5.

Checking here I found the missing method is since version 2.1.0

I run mvn dependency:tree to find which dependency is bringing with it this mockito-all and once found it, I excluded it from the pom:

   <dependency>
        <groupId>com.example</groupId>
        <artifactId>bla</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>
                <artifactId>mockito-all</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
