Dependency error with Selenium 3.3.1 and FirefoxDriver

Question

I use geckodriver v0.15.0 (Latest release) and Firefox 52.0.1 (64 bits)

Here is my code :

public static void main(String[] args) {
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.google.com");
    System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
    driver.quit();
}

Here is the dependencies for Selenium in my pom (latest version of Selenium) :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>  
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency> 

And the exception at runtime :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.net.PortProber.waitForPortUp(IILjava/util/concurrent/TimeUnit;)V
at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.GeckoDriverService.waitUntilAvailable(GeckoDriverService.java:73)
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService.start(DriverService.java:166)
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverCommandExecutor.execute(DriverCommandExecutor.java:78)
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.execute(RemoteWebDriver.java:644)
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.startSession(RemoteWebDriver.java:249)
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.<init>(RemoteWebDriver.java:131)
at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:218)

If I add this dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1</version>
</dependency> 

I have got another exception :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/interactions/Interactive

What dependency is missing? Thank you.

Update 2

OS: Linux 64 bits

Answer 1

1. Update the selenium version
2. Download the geckodriver and set system path eg "F:\geckodriver-v0.20.1-win64"
3. Add following code snippet to your existing code DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);

Now run the script and it will work for you, hope this helps.

Answer 2

Add System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\geckodriver.exe"); to your code.

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

public class CheckFireFox {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\geckodriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }

Here is the required dependencies (I cleaned the .m2 directory too) :

Answer 4

Maybe you have jar versions conflict error. When I had that bug in my application, I found that it was referring the old Selenium jar. To resolve this, I removed the old jar's and rebuild the project with Selenium 3 jars.

Ensure that you have right libraries added to your project.

the command mvn dependency:tree can help you with this.

Note: when you use the test scope it's mean the the dependency is only available for the test compilation and execution phases, So you must put your code in a Test method or remove the scope tag

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

check if you have the selenium-java dependency of the same version as your other dependencies

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1</version>
</dependency>
