<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
    <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    <version>RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Excluded all other guava dependencies.

How can this exception be resolved?

Answer 1

Added this explicit dependency to my pom.xml fixed the issue for me.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
    <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    <version>25.0-jre</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

In my Gradle project I fixed it by adding this dependency:

   compile 'com.google.guava:guava:25.+'

Apparently, something else was overriding it until I explicitly set it

Answer 3

The error has been resolved for me. ChromeOptions class was referring to some other class containing toImmutableList() method (sdk jar in my case). Had to find out that particular jar by checking the referred jar and excluding it from the pom dependencies. This resolved the issue
