junit5spring provider - Cannot inherit from final class

[chris-faulkner-mojdt]

Had the issue below with

testImplementation("au.com.dius.pact.provider:junit5spring:4.2.3")

Reverting to 4.2.2 resolved it. It's fatal, obviously.

4.2.4 has been released

I have tried with 4.2.4 and I still get the same. Is this comment just automatically added ?

No, the comment was manually added by me.

Are you getting the same error? I made the class open, see https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-jvm/blob/master/provider/junit5spring/src/main/kotlin/au/com/dius/pact/provider/spring/junit5/PactVerificationSpringProvider.kt but if that was not the problem then it is not clear from the stack trace you provided what is.

Are you able to provide some code or debug level logs?
