I am introducing Junit tests in one of our projects but unfortunately am getting a null pointer exception but I can’t tell where is it thrown, when trying to debug the debugger does not stop in my break point. I am testing a spring boot application

Can you assist I am not familiar with gradle maybe I missed a certain config, below is my gradle file
