How can I disable JUnit from accessing private class members

For the context, I am serializing some class A in JSON, but it has one private member (Instant creationTime).

In all JUnit tests, the serialization is working with no issue. In production, I end up with:

Failed making field 'java.time.Instant#seconds' accessible; either increase its visibility or write a custom TypeAdapter for its declaring type.

When debugging both at the same place and evaluating the following code, creating a simple object of class A, and then serializing, this difference is reproduced:

A a = new A();
new GsonBuilder().create().toJson(a);

I know I can work something out using Adapters, or simply modifying the fields, but I would like my tests to reflect as precisely as possible a real environment, to be aware of such issues earlier.
