Program crashing when initializing variables - ExtentReports 5.1.2

[J-Kiri]

so i'm trying to apply ExtentReports on a java selenium test application

@TestMethodOrder(MethodOrderer.OrderAnnotation.class)
public class AvantewebsuiteTest {
. . .

  private static ExtentReports extent;
  private static ExtentTest test;

  static{
    try{
      System.out.println("Init Spark");
      ExtentSparkReporter spark = new ExtentSparkReporter("reports/AvanteWebSuiteReport.html");
      System.out.println("Inited Spark");

      spark.config().setReportName("Avante Web Suite - Test Report");
      spark.config().setDocumentTitle("Relatório de Testes");

      System.out.println("Init Extent");
      extent = new ExtentReports();
      System.out.println("Inited Extent");
      extent.attachReporter(spark);

      extent.setSystemInfo("Projeto", "AvanteWebSuite");
      extent.setSystemInfo("Ambiente", "QA");
      extent.setSystemInfo("Usuário", System.getProperty("user.name"));

    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      throw new ExceptionInInitializerError("Failed to initialize ExtentReports: " + e.getMessage());
    }
  }

  public static ExtentReports getExtentReports() {
    return extent;
  }
. . .

The problem is, the program executes that first sout System.out.println("Init Spark"); but as soon as it touches the ExtentSparkReporter spark = new ExtentSparkReporter("reports/AvanteWebSuiteReport.html"); line it gives me this error:

Init Spark

My mave dependencies are all okay, no conflicts or anything. if i run a minimal setup in the same enviroment like:

package testes.avante.testes;

import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentReports;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentSparkReporter;

public class ExtentSpark {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      System.out.println("Initializing ExtentSparkReporter...");
      ExtentSparkReporter spark = new ExtentSparkReporter("test-report.html");
      System.out.println("ExtentSparkReporter initialized successfully!");

      ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports();
      extent.attachReporter(spark);

      extent.createTest("Sample Test").pass("This test passed!");
      extent.flush();

      System.out.println("Report generated successfully.");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

everything works perfectly!

i really dont know what to do anymore. if anyone knows what to do, i appreciate the help
