More than one file was found with OS independent path 'mockito-extensions/org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker'

I am working on project where we are just now switching from gradle 4.10 to gradle 5.1 and upgrading to latest version android gradle plugin

However I am encountering following error when using gradle 5.1

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugAndroidTestJavaResource'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
> More than one file was found with OS independent path 'mockito-extensions/org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker'

Note we do have file in src/test/resources/mockito-extensions/ that allows us to mock kotlin classes.

This setup (file in src/test/.... directory) has worked fine when using gradle 4.X

Was wondering if this is a known issue and if there is way to fix it?

Reproduce the failure with Gradle 5.1 and inspect the src/test/resources/mockito-extensions/ resource alongside the :app:mergeDebugAndroidTestJavaResource task. Trace why the same mockito-extensions/org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker path is included more than once; done means the Android test resource merge completes without that duplicate-path error.
