java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(ZLjava/lang/String;) with Selenium, gradle and ChromeDriver

Question

I am trying to use Selenium api with Gradle. This is my build.gradle dependency section:

dependencies {
    compile \'com.google.api-client:google-api-clien         


        

Answer 1

Just adding the below was not enough

    com.google.guava
    guava
    27.1-jre

It was not working first. Then I moved this dependency up higher in pom.xml than junit dependency and it worked. So, make sure that in pom file ,it is higher than junit or testng or whatever runner you are using
