Mocking method return Any as type throws Exception

[Vrolijkx]

The below example code explains the issue.
Reproducible in version 1.14.7

import org.mockito.scalatest.MockitoSugar
import org.scalatest.flatspec.AnyFlatSpec

class SomeClassToMock {
  def methodReturningAny(input: String): Any = None
}

class AnyReturnMockTest extends AnyFlatSpec with MockitoSugar {
  "mocking method returning Any" should "not explode" in {
    val myMock = mock[SomeClassToMock]

    //will explode with 
    // java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: scala.Any
    // because it tries to instatiate Any at org/mockito/ReflectionUtils.scala:57
    when(myMock.methodReturningAny("test"))
      .thenReturn("some value")
  }
}
