Exception when using Select element

[Thomas Hirsch]

Hi, 
sometimes a test of mine fails with this stacktrace:

```

    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.openqa.selenium.NotFoundException

        at org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select.findOptionsByValue(Select.java:287)

        at org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select.selectByValue(Select.java:190)

        at geb.navigator.DefaultNavigator.setSelectValue(DefaultNavigator.groovy:988)

        at geb.navigator.DefaultNavigator.setInputValue(DefaultNavigator.groovy:931)

        at geb.navigator.DefaultNavigator.setInputValues_closure56(DefaultNavigator.groovy:922)

        at groovy.lang.Closure.call(Closure.java:412)

        at geb.navigator.DefaultNavigator.setInputValues(DefaultNavigator.groovy:921)

        at geb.navigator.DefaultNavigator.value(DefaultNavigator.groovy:652)

        at geb.content.TemplateDerivedPageContent.value(TemplateDerivedPageContent.groovy:34)

        at geb.content.PageContentSupport.propertyMissing(PageContentSupport.groovy:54)

        at geb.Page.propertyMissing(Page.groovy:110)

        at geb.Browser.propertyMissing(Browser.groovy:239)

        at geb.spock.GebSpec.propertyMissing(GebSpec.groovy:1)

        at ...

```
The line in the spec is using the assignment operator, i.e. `myElement = myValue` where `myElement` is a Geb navigator pointing to a HTML-Select element.

Regardless of what the test does, I would like to understand how this Exception can even happen. The class is present in my library list, it is part of the selenium-api package, which (I assume) Geb depends on.

Thomas,

I agree that it's surprising that you are getting this exception as org.openqa.selenium.NotFoundException is indeed part of selenium-api artifact. On thing that surprises me further is that I don't see org.openqa.selenium.NotFoundException being used in Select.findOptionsByValue(), at least not in 3.141.59. What is the version of selenium-support and selenium-api artifacts that you have on the classpath?

Cheers,
Marcin

Hi Marcin, 

currently I am using these versions:

• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-http:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-devtools:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-json:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chromium-driver:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chrome-driver:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-api:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-remote-driver:4.0.0-alpha-7
• Gradle: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:4.0.0-alpha-7
  

There is another similar error, that I encountered, I will also put the stack trace here.
Is is another error, this time it is not related to operation of a Select element, instead it occurs as a result of a StaleElementReferenceException.

Again, the problem is not what the test does, but what kind of exception it produces.
I have the impression this only occurs on my local machine (Chrome/MacOS), and not when running against the Docker-Selenium-Grid, but this is hard to confirm.

The NoClassDefFoundError is just really puzzling...
It's not a blocker for me, but I just wanted to show you this, just in case.

I can understand what it's telling me, that the test is unstable, either the Select is not fully loaded on the page yet, and in the other case below, a StaleElementReferenceException occurs, both of these things are very plausible, in fact I am exactly trying to work around those respective problems in those places.
I have seen this in the past, and I thought it might be a result of incompatible library versions, so I didn't bother about it right way, assuming it might go away after some updates.
But even after several chromedriver and Selenium upgrades, the error still seems to happen.

The other stacktrace:

Thomas,

You seem to be living on the bleeding edge using these alpha releases... What is the reason for using Selenium 4 in your case? Does downgrading to the latest version in the 3.x line fix the issues?
