Getting this ClassNotFoundException after every test

Hi @rd1,

I recommend that you contact the ReadyAPI Support team - this question requires some investigation. You can reach out to them here: https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=readyapi

Unfortunately, you faced a known bug in ReadyAPI with the ClassNotFound FileRemover exception.

There is no workaround for this bug. But, please note that this issue doesn't affect test execution - tests are run successfully.

I have also encountered this bug with v3.0.0. in our Jenkins Pipeline. Is there an issue I can keep my eyes on? Or another way to keep posted on the progress to fix this bug. 

The stacktrace is causing questions and people looking in to it eventhough we stated it's a known bug.

Hope to hear from you!
