Cannot convert from Class<SpringRunner> to Class<? extends Runner>

Question

I am getting the below compiler error:

Type mismatch: cannot convert from Class<SpringRunner> to Class<? extends Runner>

From this code:

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@DataMongoTest
public class ReservationEntityTest {

I don't understand the error Class<SpringRunner> has SpringRunner that extends Runner.
What am I missing?.

The actual response was the one of @M. Demiun in the comments;

"Remove your junit dependency from the pom.xml. You are using an ancient version. The spring-boot-starter-test includes all dependencies needed. I would even suggest to remove the @RunWith and use the @Test from JUnit5 (the @DataMongoTest already shouldinclude the @ExtendWith from JUnit5."
