Description

JVM verify error raised trying to run TestAgentClientProvider2; this is a test which uses mocking to do things.

Error: java.lang.VerifyError: Bad <init> method call from inside of a branch

1. Searches imply this is JVM specific, and updating the JVM will make it go away
2. this a test-time exception, not a runtime one
