java.lang.NoSuchMethodError Mockito LocalDate and static method

I'm using the Mockito 4.8.0 and Java 1.8 versions and I have a LocalDate variable which is sent to a static method where I get the error. The static method is to print logs using Telemetry. Thanks in advance.

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) 
public class CategoryServiceImplTest {

    @InjectMocks    
    private ItemServiceImpl itemService;

    @Test public void getItem() { 
        LocalDate startDate = LocalDate.of(2022, 12, 12); 
        itemService.getItem(startDate);    
    } 
}

public class ItemServiceImpl { 
    getItem(LocalDate  startDate){ 
        A.method(startDate); 
    } 
}

public class Utils {
    public static void method(final LocalDate startDate){} 
}

I tried to fix using mvn clean install and persists the problem. Please I appreciate any help or suggestion to solve it. This method works when it calls in other method.

Solution

I am able to execute CategoryServiceImplTest.java successfully which is similar in nature to what you have in your question. Looks like you just need to tweak your code a little bit to get passed errors. I have java 8, spring-boot-starter-parent 2.5.5 and junit 4.13.2 declared in my pom.xml. Your classes will most likely have differences than what I have below but this gives you an idea of how you can get passed your errors.

CategoryService.java:

package com.example.javalangnosuchmethoderror;

public interface CategoryService {
    String getCategory();
}

CategoryServiceImpl.java

package com.example.javalangnosuchmethoderror;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class CategoryServiceImpl implements CategoryService {
    @Override
    public String getCategory() {
        return "test";
    }
}

ItemService.java

package com.example.javalangnosuchmethoderror;

import java.time.LocalDate;

public interface ItemService {
    LocalDate getItem(LocalDate startDate);
}

ItemServiceImpl.java

package com.example.javalangnosuchmethoderror;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.time.LocalDate;

@Service
public class ItemServiceImpl implements ItemService {

    @Override
    public LocalDate getItem(LocalDate startDate) {
        Utils.method(startDate);
        return startDate;
    }
}

Utils.java

package com.example.javalangnosuchmethoderror;

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class Utils {
    public static void method(final LocalDate startDate) {
    }
}

CategoryServiceImplTest.java:

package com.example.javalangnosuchmethoderror;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.junit.MockitoJUnitRunner;

import java.time.LocalDate;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class CategoryServiceImplTest {

    @InjectMocks
    private ItemServiceImpl itemService;

    @Test
    public void getItem() {
        LocalDate startDate = LocalDate.of(2022, 12, 12);
        itemService.getItem(startDate);
    }
}
