Bug#895886: testng: jcommander classes not found

[olivier sallou]

Package: testng
Version: 6.9.12-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

while trying to use testng to update package htsjdk (using gradle),
I face errors about jcommander not being found when running tests

Task :compileTestJava actions class loader hash:

I see in gradle logs that jcommander is not added in the classpath, so
there may be a dependency management issue with jcommander.

It seems there are resolution issues I did not face in the past.
Don't know if issue is testng or jcommander related as I see jcommander was
updated not so long ago.
