Question

I am getting the following error when I am trying to run my mock test in Android

`Execution failed for task ':app:kaptGenerateStubsDebugUnitTestKotlin'.

Error while evaluating property 'filteredArgumentsMap' of task ':app:kaptGenerateStubsDebugUnitTestKotlin'. Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugUnitTestCompileClasspath'. > Could not find org.mockito.kotlin:mockito-kotlin:2.2.0. Required by: project :app`

I want to run my test case but I got stucked for this issue. May anyone please help me on it

Answer 1

Error seems to be that it can't find the dependency org.mockito.kotlin:mockito-kotlin:2.2.0:

Could not find org.mockito.kotlin:mockito-kotlin:2.2.0

The mockito package was renamed to org.mockito.kotlin only on version 2.2.7.

So you have two options:

1. Change this dependency in your build.gradle to:

testImplementation "com.nhaarman.mockitokotlin2:mockito-kotlin:$mockito_kotlin_version"

2. Update the mockito version to 2.2.7 or above:

def mockito_kotlin_version = "2.2.7"
