ChromeOptions NoSuchMethodError addArguments / #4804

[Volker-59]

Hi All.

I don't see any option to reopen an closed issue, so I start this issue (for me) again. Sorry for what.

My reason for the issue:

I have the same problem.
Selenium Versin 3.6.0 on Win 2008 Srv
Chrome 2.33,
JAVA 1.6.x Develop and JAVA 1.8 Runtime

[java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions.addArguments([Ljava/lang/String;)V

and all is new recompiled....

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

String webdriverChromeDriver = new MonitoringHelper().getProperty("CHROMEDRIVER");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", webdriverChromeDriver);

chromeOptions.addArguments("no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.addArguments("start-maximized");
chromeOptions.addArguments("ignore-certificate-errors");
chromeOptions.addArguments("disable-infobars");

capability = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capability.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, chromeOptions);

remWebDriver = new org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubURL), capability);

The Eclipse Helper shows me, the method exist and I have only the 3.6.0 Libs in my Classpath.

Without any chromeOptions.addArguments(StringValue); loading ChromDriver works...

Any idea?

[Volker-59]

Also this one failed...

private List<String> chromOptionList = Arrays.asList("no-sandbox", "ignore-certificate-errors", "disable-extensions", "disable-infobars");

~~~

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

String webdriverChromeDriver = new MonitoringHelper().getProperty("CHROMEDRIVER");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", webdriverChromeDriver);

**chromeOptions.addArguments(chromOptionList);**
capability = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capability.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, chromeOptions);

remWebDriver = new org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubURL), capability);

with:
[java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions.addArguments(Ljava/util/List;)V

Run mvn dependency:tree and make sure there are no other selenium versions in your dependencies

[barancev]

Yes, there is no ChromeOptions.addArguments(Ljava/util/List;)V method, its return value has been changed in 3.6 from void to ChromeOptions. Recompile your code agains updated jar files.

[Volker-59]

Hi Barancev.

I think you close items a bit too fast. Have a look at tha JAVA Docs fro Version 3.6.0:

http://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/chrome/ChromeOptions.html#addArguments-java.lang.String...-

If it changes to whatever, write it down and explain how to setup ChromOption with Selenium 3.6.0. without addArguments(String/StringList).

Recompiling happens quite often and only with 3.6.0 jars. The problem still exists. In the end I move back to 3.5.3 (coming from 2.53.0) and adding ChromOptions works as documented.

[barancev]

Javadoc for 3.6 is correct and actual. The linked method accepts String... arguments
There are regression tests that use this method [1] and they are green.

I bet it's a bug in Eclipse compiler. If you prove you can reproduce the issue with Oracle complier I'll reopen it.

[Volker-59]

Thanks for your answer.

Eclipse ... maybe. Just two or three questions.

If I compare the lib dir of the unzipped dowlnloads (3.6.0/3.5.3) I see many differences. Is there anything to do with the version 3.6.0 and perhsps missing libs in the lib dir? Like commens-io 2.5 commons-lang3, jetty-* and so one?

I have (not related to selenium for general) some problems since I moved from Juno to Mars (Eclipse) with 32 Bit/64Bit jars and JAVA Version 6/8. Are there any requirements for JAVA 32Bit/64Bit, JAVA 6/7/8 and Selenium 3.6.0?

Reopen the issue(?). Badly there is no option to set such things on hold?!?

I would prefer using 3.5.3 to upgrade my selenium based software (2.53.0) to version 3.5.3 and current browser driver (chrome, gecko, ie) and current browser versions. This task is hard enough for now ;) and then I would update to 3.6.0 or whatever in future and see what happens with chrome and the unfound methods.

[barancev]

1. The list of the dependencies reduced in 3.6 because we've excluded drivers for PhantomJS and HtmlUnit from the distribution package.

2. Selenium 3.x requires Java 8, tested to work with Oracle JDK/JRE and OpenJDK.

[sbabupresidency1]

Simple solution, need to update latest version of guava Lol.. :)


com.google.guava
guava
23.2-jre

[gaspa85]

hi,
i have try to build application with correct version of selenium and work fine.

[bhavin042]

Hi,
Updating guava to 23.0 solved the issue.

[ssurwase]

Hi barancev,

I have exactly similar issue which is reported here.
selenium 3.9.0
JDK - jdk_1.8_011 (32 bit JRE)
Eclipse - Mars
gauva - 23.2-jre.jar and its dependencies.

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
threadDriver.set(driver);

getting exception for initiating the driver.
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions.is(Ljava/lang/String;)Z

at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.(ChromeDriver.java:157)

I checked mvn tree dependency. no other selenium version.
java is jdk 1.8 (32 bit)

[gaspa85]

hi, in my case i solved by recreating the file ant build.xml with eclipse export, recreating it to update the file with the new library of Selinium. the problem is in the build phase if use old version of library build work fine but in execution have an error. Now in the build phase it uses the new library and running the problem no longer occurs. Thanks at all. Marco Gasparini Il 17 Feb 2018 20:10, "ssurwase" <notifications@github.com> ha scritto:

Hi,

Even I am facing the same error. I am running with following configuration:
JDK : 1.8
Selenium: 2.53.1
Guava: 23.2

I really need to get this to work.

[ssurwase]

There might be existing selenium version which is getting used. please remove from the reference libraries.
