java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait.until(Lcom/google/common/base/Function;) using selenium-server-standalone-3.12.0

Question

I\'ve been struggling with selenium to fix this issue:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait.until(Lcom/google/common/base/Function         


        

Answer 1

This error message...

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait.until(Lcom/google/common/base/Function;)Ljava/lang/Object;

...implies that the Guava version was incompatible.

As you are using selenium-server-standalone-3.12.0 as per the contents of selenium-java-3.12.0 client kits the supported guava version is:

guava-23.6-jre

Snapshot

Solution

An immediate solution would be to:

• Upgrade Guava with guava-23.6-jre.jar

---

The real issue

In your first update as you have confirmed that Guava version is 23.6-jre, the real issue seems to be constructor of FluentWait. The argument type for withTimeout and pollingEvery post Selenium v3.11.0, which was:

• pollingEvery: pollingEvery(long duration, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)
• withTimeout: withTimeout(long duration, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)

Are now Deprecated and the new type is java.time.Duration. So your effective code block will be:

Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
.withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
.pollingEvery(Duration.ofMillis(500))
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

You can find a detailed discussion in The type FluentWait is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments error for FluentWait Class through Selenium and Java

Additional Consideration

Additionally,

• Your JDK version is 1.8_71 which is pretty old and ancient.
• Solution: Ensure that JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u222.

---

Best Practices

As per the best practices you need to:

• Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u222.
• Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.141.59.
• GeckoDriver and Firefox specific:
  • Upgrade GeckoDriver to GeckoDriver v0.26.0 level.
  • GeckoDriver is present in the desired location.
  • GeckoDriver is having executable permission for non-root users.
  • Upgrade Firefox version to Firefox v72.0 levels.
• ChromeDriver and Chrome specific:
  • ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v79.0.3945.36 level.
  • Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 79.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v79.0 release notes)
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• (WindowsOS only) Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your Test Suite.
• (LinuxOS only) Free Up and Release the Unused/Cached Memory in Ubuntu/Linux Mint before and after the execution of your Test Suite.
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
• Take a System Reboot.
• Execute your Test as a non-root user.
• Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
