Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0

I’ve got a gradle FAILURE:

..."Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0."

Case description:

• Attached to the project codebase the next libs:

APP/build.gradle

    //(Required) Writing and executing Unit Tests on the JUnit Platform 
testImplementation "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.2.0"
testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.2.0"
    // (Optional) If you need "Parameterized Tests"
testImplementation "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-params:5.2.0"
    // (Optional) If you also have JUnit 4-based tests
testImplementation "junit:junit:4.12"
testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:5.2.0"

testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk:1.8.5"

• Updated the gradle-wrapper.properties

  distributionUrl=https….gradle-4.4-all.zip to 4.7-all

• after all of that gradle was built success

• created the test calss

  @TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
    class TestClass {
  
    @Test
    internal fun testName() {
      Assert.assertEquals(2, 1 + 1)
    }
  }
  

• ran the test and got the FAILURE message.
  

• ran the Gradle build with a command line argument ./gradlew --warning-mode=all to see what exactly the deprecated features are.
  

As a result I couldn’t build the app and I’ve got that FAILURE: message.
