IllegalAccessError thrown by new ChromeDriver() on OSX (Java)

Question

Getting this under Eclipse straight out of the gate.

Code:

    System.setProperty(\"webdriver.chrome.driver\" ,  \"/path/to/selenium/chromedriver\");
            


        

Answer 1

the main problem is you have a jar conflict.

selenium has compile dependency on guava, you can find this at: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-chrome-driver/3.141.0

if you project has another version of guava, it may use wrong guava version.

to exclude duplicate dependency in maven, you can add right guava version explicitly, in this case:

    com.google.guava
    guava
    25.0-jre
