NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList.toImmutableList()

Question

I keep getting the above error (full text below) with guava-23.6-jre.jar I'm doing everything with IntelliJ IDEA so I don't have pom.xml anywhere in my project. My code does nothing special, the line 39 is the setProperty() call:

    @Before
    public void Setup(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/xxxxx/Documents/Java/end2endtests/chromedriver");
        _driver = new ChromeDriver();
        _helper = new WebDriverHelper(_driver);
        _wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, Constants.SPIN_WAIT_TIMEOUT);
}

The error is

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList.toImmutableList()Ljava/util/stream/Collector;

Could you post more code here? What do you have in this line PlaylistTest.Setup(PlaylistTest.java:39). Also list of libs you use would be helpful, too, cause it seems like libraries versions conflict. – Knish

Thanks @SergeiSirik, I have added the lib directory listing and my code. – Inversely

Try eliminating one of the two guava dependencies. You should only specify one. – Afterdinner

@Afterdinner no, they're different. The Android one comes from browsermob which i need. However the issue was most probably caused by selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar – Inversely

Try removing guava-23.6-jre.jar. See Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java. – Afterdinner

well, the JRE one is needed for selenium-java and it uses the 23.6 version. Anyway, @MikeJRamsey56, like I said, I managed to get it to work, and both guava libraries are there. So the problem was caused by something else, most likely by the standalone driver. – Inversely

Suit yourself. But you should avoid conflicts between multiple versions of Guava. – Afterdinner

Answer 1

I faced the same issue while using TestNG 7.4.0, and solved it by specifying:

implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:30.1.1-jre'

Your answer could be improved with additional supporting information. Please edit to add further details, such as citations or documentation, so that others can confirm that your answer is correct. You can find more information on how to write good answers in the help center. – Deaver

Answer 2

Do not run your RemoteWebDriver selenium tests from AndroidStudio unless you know how to remove guava conflicts in the IDE. After cleaning up guava dependencies in my gradle file as in:

testImplementation "com.google.guava:guava:28.2-jre" testImplementation ('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chrome-driver:4.0.0-alpha-4'){ exclude group: "com.google.guava", module:"guava" }

I executed my tests from IntelliJ community edition and they worked!!. It seems that Android Studio forces its own version of guava

Fascinate

I was facing the same issue, and your fixed worked for me thank you! – Lobule

So the question itself is asking for someone using IntelliJ not Android Studio (and in my case I am also using IntelliJ and not Android studio) – Pubes

Answer 3

I faced the same issue as my testng version updated to 7.3 from 7.1, while selenium was on 3.141.59.

Reverting testng version or updating selenium should resolve the issue

Chukar

Unfortunately I am getting the issue with Selenium 4.* (and both testng 7.3 and 7.1) – Pubes

Answer 4

I faced the same issue as my testng version updated to 7.3 from 7.0.0, while selenium was on 3.141.59. "Project was Maven" and Issue resolved ( chrome browser was launched )

Answer 5

I got the same issue using whatever default version of selenium lib I had installed. Explicitly defining the dependency solved it:

Suellensuelo

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I have both chromedriver and remote webdriver explicitly defined and I'm still getting the issue – Pubes

It was a long time since I did this but, have you confirmed what version of the Java and what versions (not only explicitly setting them but the right versions) of ChromeDriver and WebDriver you are using? – Suellensuelo

Selenium is 4.1.3, chromedriver.exe is 100.0.4896.20. I started another project in my IDE and redid my config (in my case maven) with the same dependencies (and versions) and got it to work with just selenium and testng being specified (without specifying the chrome-driver maven dependency version). As far as I can tell something wasn't being cleaned up from an older build of the project leaving multiple guava versions around. Even doing a clean in the old broken project I still get the error but the new project that started with the same config is happy to run without issue. – Pubes

@JoelleBoulet curious. It seems you are closing in on the issue though. Unfortunately, I'm no longer working in Java so I can't reproduce or anything here, even give much tips on how to troubleshoot. Perhaps the best you can do is to wipe the selenium setup completely and start clean as you got it to work in your other project? – Suellensuelo

Answer 6

I fixed my issue by removing external JARS:

Answer 7

Just Add a dependency in your Pom.xml file, issue will resolve

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
  <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
  <version>24.0-jre</version>
</dependency>

Sandra

Is there a way to find out what guava version we'd need for what selenium and testng version? – Pubes

Answer 8

I got the same exception for Selenium dependency and I have solved this by changing the dependency from testCompile to compile in build.gradle file.

testCompile compile group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'selenium-java', version: '3.141.59'
     ------->>>
compile group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'selenium-java', version: '3.141.59'

Answer 9

In case some has a mess of a project like my self...

If you are mixing a lot of libraries com.google.guava:guava can be override by another dependency, the solution is check the dependency tree from the application, then delete/modify/override the dependencies to avoid conflicts between libs

Answer 10

The issue is due to the libraries, I took guava 32 version with selenium 4.9.1. It worked for me. I was able to launch the chrome browser successfully.
