Getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/io/CircularOutputStream

[Adam Mann]

Has anyone seen this?

I had a problem where using selenium 2.48.0 wasn't working with firefox 45.0.1.  I updated this to 2.53.0 and while it's still not working against firefox 45.0.1 ( error here ), against firefox 44.0.2 its more successful but I get the error mentioned in the title.  Here is my stack output:

Any ideas?

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

You seem to have a messed up CLASSPATH. How are you setting your CLASSPATH ?

I'm setting it in the standard way in intellij.  I just checked inside Modules -> Dependencies and I see org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:2.53.0 (as well as the other browser drivers as well).  Is that what you were looking for?

[Adam Mann]

Might also help, I'm importing them by using maven and adding the following to my pom file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>2.53.0</version>
</dependency>

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Can you please try adding the below as a dependency and see if that helps ?

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.53.0</version>
</dependency>

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

[Adam Mann]

Same error :/

I did a bit of playing and the error happens when using selenium-java 2.50.1 and above.  Any ideas why that might be the case? Maybe a dependency was moved between those versions that something else was relying on.

[Adam Mann]

I think I might have it, when I look at the selenium java github repo, inside selenium.io, you can see the circularoutputsteam class.  However, locally it's not available and it doesn't seem to be importing it, even when I delete everything out of my .m2/repositories folder. 

[Terry Lacy]

Is there a fix for this?  I'm getting it too.  Changing dependencies as Krishnan suggests doesn't fix it.  Expired the cache on my nexus server and removed the selenium folders and it went away for a little while, but now it's back.

Terry

[Terry Lacy]

I notice the path on my error is a bit different: "org/openqa/selenium/remote/internal/CircularOutputStream"

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

Terry,

I still cant recreate the problem. Can there be a possibility that somewhere in your dependencies something is messing up ? Can you try creating a new simple maven project which just adds selenium 2.53.0 as dependencies and see if the problem recreates itself ?

Going by your path, it looks like it used to reside in org.openqa.selenium.remote.internal package until this commit wherein it moved to org.openqa.selenium.io package.

My dependencies :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.53.0</version>
</dependency>

Thanks, Krishnan.

I eventually found a deeply buried dependency on an older version of Selenium.  Once I got rid of that, the error went away.  I need to learn to look at the dependencies chains in Eclipse when I'm doing an upgrade.  I also got rid of redundant dependencies on Selenium that way.

Thanks,
Terry

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

No worries. I have found the "dependency hierarchy" view that eclipse provides when I open up the pom file to be useful.

You can also try using the command : mvn dependency:tree 

from the command line to and explore its output as well.

Ran into this exact same issue recently and was able to fix it by removing an older phantomjs dependency (1.2.0) from my pom file.

[Andreas Heinz]

Thx, Ernest, removing the older phantomjs dependency also worked for me - as well as updating to phantomjsdriver version 1.3.0.

[Nachiket Deshpande]

Hello,

I'm not able to understand "how to find phantomjs dependency with old selenium version and remove it", can anyone please explain or redirect any link to read about it ?

Thanks in advance.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

How are you setting up your classpath ?

In the case of Heinz they were working with a maven project and their project was also depending upon phantomjs. Is that the case with you as well ?

Hi Adam,

I am facing this issue  and i found the solution for this and it will run ff 46, 47, and 48 also..

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/io/CircularOutputStream

This class is not found in selenium-java dependency

that is present in the selenium- remote- driver dependency.


Add the dependency in the pom

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
      <version>2.53.1</version>
    </dependency>

Check that class is present on the dependency..

[Santosh Kumar]

Thank you very much Nagaraju

Your solution helped me a lot

It worked for me
