WebDriver cannot be resolved to a type FirefoxDriver cannot be resolved to a type

I found a similar error as mine on stackoverflow and added selenium webdriver jar files to the project using the below method :

right click on project--> goto build path--> configure build path--> click on "Add external jars"--> add selenium jar files from your local machine--> click ok--> now mouseover on WebDriver in your code--> click "import webdriver"--now run your code-->you will get rid of the exception.

However, I am still getting an error. Here's the error :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: WebDriver cannot be resolved to a type FirefoxDriver cannot be resolved to a type

By importing webdriver and chromedriver/firefox dependency this issue can be fixed, but before this lease make sure that @Test is written if you are under TestNG folder.

You just need to import two links:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

or you can follow that tutorial:

It works for me.

I had the same problem but then i came to know that i was missing a jar to add, this jar is not inside the lib folder you can find it immediately outside the lib folder: client-combined-3.0.1-nodeps.jar

WebDriver3.0 will support the latest firefox also. but you have to set the properties for that

download "geckodriver.exe" file and you can try this.

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette",
            "E:\\SeleniumAutomation\\geckodriver-v0.9.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
    driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/");

even i got the the same error but then i realised that i missed 2 additional JAR files from Selenium 2.53.0.

selenium-java-2.53.0-srcs.jar selenium-java-2.53.0.jar

these are not in the sub library " libs" in selenium 2.53.0 but listed separately in the same folder.

This error happens when you use Eclipse as IDE and try to run code that doesn't even compile. Check your Problems view in Eclipse, and fix the compilation errors before executing the application.
