Getting Error on Using JMockit: Could not initialize class mockit.coverage.Metrics

Question

I am running a Jenkins job that build a package. However all the tests are failing with the following errors:

**Error Message** :
   Could not initialize class mockit.coverage.Metrics
**Stacktrace** :
   java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class mockit.coverage.Metrics

Pom dependency:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.jmockit</groupId>
            <artifactId>jmockit</artifactId>
            <version>1.24</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 1

Why are you using jmockit 1.24 (May 2016) and not the current version? It's quite likely you have stumbled into some old bug long since fixed. Upgrade.
