mockito-kotlin whenever arguments - Parameter specified as non-null is null

For testing I wrote a wrapper for ViewModelProviders.of(...).get(...) so that I can supply a mock:

class MyViewModelProvider { fun <T : ViewModel> get(scope: Fragment, type: Class<T>) : T { return ViewModelProviders.of(scope).get(type) } ...
}

And then in my test:

Dagger TestModule:

import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.mock
...
fun provideMyViewModelProvider(): MyViewModelProvider { return mock()
}

And in my test class:

import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.any
import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.anyOrNull
import com.nhaarman.mockito_kotlin.whenever
...
@Inject
lateinit var mockViewModelProvider: MyViewModelProvider
...
val mockViewModel = mock<MyViewModel>()
whenever(mockViewModelProvider.get(any<Fragment>(), any<Class<ViewModel>>())).thenReturn(mockViewModel)
...

However on the line with whenever I get the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter specified as non-null is null: method kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics.checkParameterIsNotNull, parameter scope

I've tried a couple things:

1. Swapping any<Fragment>(), any<Class<ViewModel>>()) with anyOrNull<Fragment>(), anyOrNull<Class<ViewModel>>() --> still get the same error

2. Tried using concrete references whenever(mockViewModelProvider.get(myFragment, MyViewModel::class.java)).thenReturn(mockViewModel) --> Calls actual method instead of mock

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

Found the answer:

The mocked function needs to be marked open or use mock-maker-inline.
