NoSuchMethodError: org.junit.platform.commons.util.ReflectionUtils.tryToLoadClass

I changed the version of jupiter and junit to 5.3.2 and the problem has gone


I was able to run the Junit 5 tests after adding the platform and launcher dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.platform/junit-platform-commons -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-commons</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.platform/junit-platform-launcher -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-launcher</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

minimal required pom.xml setup for spring-boot 2.1.3 and junit 5.4.0 testing next:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project ...>

    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</g..roupId>
