[🐛 Bug]: Not possible to test with chromedriver

[bennipalmhert]

What happened?

I have implemented a basic JUnit 5 testing class, where i want to test functions of my Maven Project. Before all test I set the system properties for webdriver.chrome.driver and webdriver.http.factory, before each test i initialise a new Chromedriver. Inside my test I get the url for my driver. After starting up my web application I execute my tests, but all tests fail and i get an error message for the test class (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'javax.net.ssl.SSLContext org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.ClientConfig.sslContext()').

I imported the dependencies selenium-java, selenium-chrome-driver and also webdrivermanager to my pom.XML

How can we reproduce the issue?

import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import java.util.List;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;

class NavigationPageTest {

    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeAll
    static void setUp() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./chromedriver");
        System.setProperty("webdriver.http.factory", "jdk-http-client");
    }

    @BeforeEach
    void setup() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    void navigateToHome() {

    }

    @Test
    void navigateToAbout() {

    }

    @AfterEach
    void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Relevant log output

[krmahadevan]

@bennipalmhert - Can you please remove the following two dependencies and try again ?

You are getting this via selenium-java

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-chrome-driver -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
            <version>4.19.1</version>
        </dependency>

You don't need this anymore. This is internally taken care of by selenium

        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
            <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
            <version>5.8.0</version>
        </dependency>

[diemol]

It might also be an issue with springframework, as it embeds Selenium, and I think they always have an older version.

[krmahadevan]

Good point @diemol. I forgot that.

@bennipalmhert - Please check here https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/dependency-versions.html

[bennipalmhert]

@krmahadevan - I've removed the dependencies and reloaded maven project but still get the same error

[krmahadevan]

@bennipalmhert - You might want to try running the below commands to sort out your dependencies discrepancy

• dependency:analyze
• dependency:analyze-report

This will help you identify the problem in your dependencies

[bennipalmhert]

@krmahadevan - running the comand dependency:analyze leads to this warning:

Non-test scoped test only dependencies found:

and running dependency:analyze-report shows me a build success, with no warning or error messages.

Does this mean i should downgrade my selenium-java version to 4.14.1?

[krmahadevan]

@bennipalmhert - Try adding a property like below and see if that helps

<properties>
    <selenium.version>4.19.1</selenium.version>
</properties>

You might want to spend sometime going through this page to help you learn how to fix this discrepancy

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/dependency-versions.html#appendix.dependency-versions.properties

[diemol]

I will close this, as we have seen the same issue in the past due to dependency conflicts.
