I am using Munit-3.5-m2 .

Answer 1

Not sure if you can not mock the connector.
You see, the exception is pointing to a MEL error when executing a MEL expression and it's complaining that whatever the payload is when reaching that expression it doesn't have a size() method.
It actually says that the payload is a string and that has not size method:
Caused by: org.mule.mvel2.PropertyAccessException: [Error: unable to resolve method: java.lang.String.size() [arglength=0]]
[Near : {... payload.size() ....}]
I reckon you're expecting that payload to be a list or a collection.
I'll start looking the error there.
If you still find problems with that please share the code of the failing test and the one of the flow trying to be tested.
