import org.openqa.selenium.webdriver cannot be resolved

[ama...@bufetedemarketing.com]

Hi guys!

I've tried to install Selenium Webdriver, with Java, Eclipse, but when I start to do the following code, I get the error: "import org.openqa.selenium.webdriver cannot be resolved"

I don't know how resolve it because I've followed all steps of: http://www.assertselenium.com/eclipse-2/how-to-setup-a-webdriver-project-in-eclipse/ 

To configure my Eclipse with Java...

The code: 

package newpackage;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class PG1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // declaration and instantiation of objects/variables

    WebDriver driver ;

    System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin","C:\\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox");

    driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        String baseUrl = "http://newtours.demoaut.com";

        String expectedTitle = "Welcome: Mercury Tours";

        String actualTitle = "";

        // launch Fire fox and direct it to the Base URL

        driver.get(baseUrl);

        // get the actual value of the title

        actualTitle = driver.getTitle();

        /*

         * compare the actual title of the page with the expected one and print

         * the result as "Passed" or "Failed"

         */

        if (actualTitle.contentEquals(expectedTitle)){

            System.out.println("Test Passed!");

        } else {

            System.out.println("Test Failed");

        }

       

        //close Fire fox

        driver.close();

       

        // exit the program explicitly

        System.exit(0);

    }

I've proved a lot of things but I'm not able to solve it. Anyone knows?

Thanks so much!!

Hi,

The article you referred is old and the steps have changed. Better approach would be to use the latest version of Selenium and GeckoDriver if you want to run your scripts on Firefox. You can check this article which gives the setup details for the latest versions - Selenium WebDriver 3.4 Setup (specifically points 3 and 4 in the article).

Hi Anish,

I'm getting the same issue while using the current latest version of Eclipse v4.15.0 and Java Client & WebDriver bindings v4.0.0.-alpha-6. I've added all the files on my Java Build path under Project properties but the issue doesn't budge. Please help!! 

Regards

@Selenium Newbie....did you find  a way out? . I am also struggling with the same issue and have tried all .

Hey Sumit,

I did find the solution to this problem. Quite a silly one!

Eclipse takes up the highest JavaSE version for execution. Now Java had released JDK-13 earlier and JDK-1.8 just recently.

If you have been using all the latest software releases like me, it is highly probable your Eclipse is also picking up the incorrect version.

No worries!! Just scrap this Java project, create a new one and while setting it up select the correct JavaSE (1.8 in my case) for execution and you should be good to go. Eclipse will set this as default and use it for all your future projects.

Let me know if this worked for you too. Happy Coding!!
