java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: scala.Predef$.refArrayOps

I have the following class:

import scala.util.{Success, Failure, Try}


class MyClass {

  def openFile(fileName: String): Try[String]  = {
    Failure( new Exception("some message"))
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    openFile(args.head)
  }

}

Which has the following unit test:

class MyClassTest extends org.scalatest.FunSuite {

  test("pass inexistent file name") {
    val myClass = new MyClass()
    assert(myClass.openFile("./noFile").failed.get.getMessage == "Invalid file name")
  }

}

When I run sbt test I get the following error:

Build definitions:

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.12.0"

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.scalatest/scalatest_2.11
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" % "scalatest_2.11" % "3.0.0"

I can't figure out what causes this. My class and unit test seem simple enough. Any ideas?

scalatest_2.11 is the version of ScalaTest compatible only with Scala 2.11.x. Write libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.0.0" % "test" (note %%) instead to pick the correct version automatically and switch to Scala 2.11.8 until scalatest_2.12 is released (it should be very soon). See http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Cross-Build.html for more.
