Unable to launch a browser using Selenium and WebDriver-CodePudding

I've reverted some of my JAR files in order to be able to import the webdrivers within Eclipse (WebDriver, Chromdriver, GeckoDriver)...

I was successful in importing said drivers but am unable to actually launch the browsers associated with them.

My code is:

package webElementsandDrivers;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class wDrivers {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\munta\\WebDrivers\\chromedriver");    
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
    }
}

The error I'm getting in the Eclipse console reads:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap

    ... 5 more

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

You were pretty close. As you are on windows os along with the executable binary i.e. chromedriver you also need to pass the extension i.e. exe.

Effectively, your line of code will be:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\munta\\WebDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");

CodePudding user response：

You might be struggling over different versions.

Example: Your Project startet 2 weeks ago. So you have used chrom-driver Version 101.xxx. In the last days chrom-Browser got an update and is now version 103.xxx.

Your driver will not start with this combination. That was a point last days here on my side.

Please check your driver Version and Browser Version.
