Need help on NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors.directExecutor()Ljava/util/concurrent/Executor; in IntelliJ

Question

There was a few other issues as this one but most of them were for android and I am currently working in IntelliJ with Java Gradle project.

My project is Gradle Java project in IntelliJ and I'm using Cloud Firestore as database. I am trying to make a .jar file so I can run the application, but it throws an exception.

I am probably doing something wrong when I when I create the .jar file because when I run the application in IntelliJ it works fine. The problem comes when I run the .jar file. The exception is as follows:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors.directExecutor()Ljava/util/concurrent/Executor;

Line 39 in main.java is:

ApiFuture<QuerySnapshot> query = db.collection("collectionName").get();

I read that there is some version problem with Guava but I can't exclude the dependency in my build.gradle. I tried everything that I found but nothing worked.

Again, the project works fine when I run the main method in IntelliJ but when I run the .jar it throws the exception.

I will appreciate if I can receive some tips on how to create the .jar file or if there is any useful info on the Guava and how to fix the dependency.

Answer 1

Maybe you are using an old version of Guava. com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors.directExecutor()Ljava/util/concurrent/Executor has been introduced since Guava 18.0.

 * @since 18.0
 */
public static Executor directExecutor() {
  return DirectExecutor.INSTANCE;
}

Please check your dependencies of Guava in build.gradle and try upgrading it. If you are not using an old version, please click CTRL + N on IntelliJ and then enter com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors to find the Guava jar which you are using.
