Maven fails on gson after updating from Selenium 2.43 to 2.44

[G Ri]

Hi,

After I had an upgrade of Firefox, there was a need to change from Selenium 2.43.1 to 2.44. The change was done in Eclipse and my java tests worked perfectly.
When I checked in the changed pom, Jenkins automatically started to build on a build server but surprisingly failed.

I thought I should try manually but that as well as trying to view the dependency tree fails on the build server of the same reason as seen below.

A googling on the issue gives for instance an issue on gson (https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/issues/detail?id=588) but I cannot find anything in this group if more users are suffering from it.
According to the gson issue it was corrected 16 Sept but there has not been any new gson version after 12 Aug.

My build server runs on a unix machine with java 6, Maven 2.2.1.

Does anybody have a suggestion for solution until there is a new version of gson?

Regards and thanks!
Gunnar

Have you tried adding an exclusion to this artifact and using a previous version of it as detailed in comment #1 https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/issues/detail?id=588#c1

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for your help.

What finally solved the problem was by adding a dependencyManagement in my pom.

  <dependencyManagement>
     <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
            <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.4</version>
        </dependency>
     </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

Hi there,

I also found some some changes in behavior of WebDriver 2.44. Same script which i used successfully for click action and sendKeys operations failed at some places while using WebDriver 2.44. 

Don't know why. Due to these uncertain issues I revert back to 2.43 version.

Regs,

Is this something selenium-java can address? Otherwise all users are going to have to add this exclusion

[Ragavan Ambighananthan]

my automation started failing in grid/hub in AWS LINUX after upgrading to v2.44.0, i had to downgrade to v2.43.1

filed an issue with selenium https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8487&thanks=8487&ts=1423826982 

it could be to do with gson, not sure, but the failings are because certain html characters like <, > and = are encoded differently like @, P or some weird characters.

Regards

Ragavan
