Running JUnit test from IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 generates ClassNotFoundException

Question

Running a JUnit test from IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 generates the following error:

Error:Internal error: (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException) com.android.repository.api.ProgressIndicator
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.android.repository.api.ProgressIndicator

The test runs successfully if I run it via Maven, but it fails using IntelliJ IDEA button.

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

It is an IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 bug.

Updating the IDE version to 2020.1.1 fixes the problem.
