Espresso activity start failing with NoSuchMethodError

I am try to write a simple test for the below scenario:

On my main activity I have a button (with id validationButton) and when users clicks on it starts a new activity (specific ValidationActivity). So I want to test that when user click the button validation activity is going to start. My code is this:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
@Config(sdk = [Build.VERSION_CODES.P])
    class MainActivityTest {
    
    @get:Rule
    val activityScenarioRule = ActivityScenarioRule(MainActivity::class.java)

    @Before
    fun intentsInit() {
        launch(MainActivity::class.java)
        Intents.init()
    }

    @After
    fun intentsTearDown() {
        Intents.release();
    }

    @Test
    fun click_start_validation_should_go_to_validation_screen() {
        val mockContext = mock(Context::class.java)
        //val scenario = launch(MainActivity::class.java)
        onView(withId(R.id.validationButton)).perform(click())
        assertThat(getIntents().first()).hasComponentClass(ValidationActivity::class.java)
    }
}

When i run it, test fails with these logs:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: androidx.test.internal.platform.util.TestOutputEmitter.addOutputProperties(Ljava/util/Map;)Z
