Could not initialize inline Byte Buddy mock maker. Problem when use mockito inline

Question

I have a problem when active mockito inline. The test works perfectly in normal mode. The error is:

[ERROR] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 25.556 s <<< FAILURE! - in es.ddmain.utils.FileSystemUtilsTest

It appears as if your JDK does not supply a working agent attachment mechanism.

[EDIT] Sorry, i forgot to include version of mockito.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>
    <artifactId>mockito-junit-jupiter</artifactId>
    <version>4.8.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

what can i do to fix this? I'm noob in mockito

Thanks

Most likely you ran across Could not self-attach to current VM using external process (ByteBuddyAgent.installExtension) #2741

Mockito is known not to be able to mock a few classes it uses in its internals. The issue is closed as infeasable

Unfortunately, InputStream is one of the classes that Mockito relies on internally for its behavior. Stubbing InputStream will therefore lead to undefined behavior. Additionally, it is advised not to mock classes you don't own: https://github.com/mockito/mockito/wiki/How-to-write-good-tests#dont-mock-a-type-you-dont-own We are working on improving the user experience by working on a DoNotMock feature to avoid mocking classes/methods that are known to crash Mockito internals (#1833). Therefore, I am closing this as "Infeasible". Apologies for the uninformative exception that is thrown.
