java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method com.google.common.util.concurrent.SimpleTimeLimiter. when using Selenium-Java 3.5.1 or above

Question

I am wondering if anyone can give me an idea why I\'m getting the following error when I use Selenium-Java 3.5.1 or above -

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tr         


        

Answer 1

In my earlier pom.xml, this was the entry:

    org.seleniumhq.selenium
    selenium-java
    2.53.0

Below error was being thrown,

Error: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method com.google.common.util.concurrent.SimpleTimeLimiter.(Ljava/util/concurrent/ExecutorService;)V from class org.openqa.selenium.net.UrlChecker

Then I updated the POM with the latest version:

    org.seleniumhq.selenium
    selenium-java
    3.14.0

I did not see the error once again. Hope this helps.
