Question

I develop the selenium code that:

    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
           


        

Answer 1

This error message...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(ZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)

...implies that the JVM was unable to initiate/spawn your program.

As @GhostCat pointed your main issue is the incompatibility between the guava version and other binary versions you are using.

Solution

• Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u181.
• Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.14.0.
• When you remove the previous version of Selenium Client ensure that all the associated jars are properly removed.
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• Execute your @Test.
