If I included junit4 as dependency, it fixes it, but parallel processing stops working.

You need to do a dependency analysis on your Pom file to find the dependency conflict.

[a-k-khurana]

is it possible for you provide me what depdencies are supported with serenity 3.9.8?

[a-k-khurana]

we are currently on version 3.8.1, and upgrading to 3.9.8 just because while reports are generating some of the report html files are missing. Are you aware of any such issue, and if yes, which version is that fixed in
