Android Webview Chromium UnitTests fail with java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

We are currently facing this NoSuchMethod Error when we want to create the unit test with Robolectric version 4.3.1 and Mockito version 2.18.3

Exceptions:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void com.android.webview.chromium.WebViewChromium.<init>(com.android.webview.chromium.WebViewChromiumFactoryProvider, android.webkit.WebView, android.webkit.WebView$PrivateAccess, boolean)'

Here is the code we did:

mWebView = Mockito.spy(
            new WebviewChromium(
                mockWebViewChromiumProvider, webView, webView.new PrivateAccess(), false));

In BUILD.gn, we have included the "//android_webview/glue:glue_java" as dependency, we can successfully compile the code but it sounds like in the runtime, it refers to the another wrong jar, does someone know how to config the build file to use the correct jar or any ideas about how to solve this error?

did you check this followjng thread https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/5092 and this one I think you need open jdk 11 or 13 I recently had the same issue after adding open jdk 13 to android studio it solved my problem robolectric started working fine you can check following thread as well https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/5092
