Answer 1

According to your stacktrace a logging implementation is missing, see https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/core/log/LogDelegateFactory.html#getHiddenLog-java.lang.Class- for reference.
Mainly for internal use within the framework with Apache Commons Logging, typically in the form of the spring-jcl bridge but also compatible with other Commons Logging bridges.
Try to add the following dependency to solve your issue:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jcl</artifactId>
<version>5.2.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
If you just want a quick start, Spring Boot would be an easier starting point for a MVC Spring application.

Answer 2

Following 2 entries worked for me.
testCompile(group:'org.springframework', name: 'spring-core', version:'5.3.21')
testCompile(group:'org.springframework', name: 'spring-jcl', version:'5.3.21')
