Selenium chrome driver error java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriverService$Builder does not define

Question

I did not have problem to run this before becoming messy with something.

Any help would be appciated.

I am getting this error chrome driver when running any test class with chrome driver.

I tried to put chrome driver options, but still not working. I upgraded chrome driver version and some other frameworks, but still same error.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(features="src/test/Features", glue= {"StepDefinitions"},
monochrome = true,

plugin = {"pretty", "junit:target/junit/report.xml",
        "html:target/html/HtmlReports",
        "json:target/JSONReports/report.json"},
tags="@Sorting_HL"

class

@Given("Sorting tab is seen.")
    public void sorting_tab_is_seen() throws IOException {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
        String url = "url address";
        ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
        
//      chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless"); 
    //  chromeOptions.addArguments("no-sandbox");
        driver= new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get(url);
    }

If I add headless on options, they say

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.openqa.selenium.chromium.ChromiumOptions org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions.addArguments(java.lang.String[])'

Your help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Answer 1

You need to pass the absolute path of the ChromeDriver executable through the System.setProperty() line as follows:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe");
