java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/HasAuthentication Issue

[Asini Hemarathne]

Hi all, 

I keep getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/HasAuthentication error when I'm trying to run some basic tests. 

The selenium dependencies I have used are,

<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
<version>4.16.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>5.3.1</version>
</dependency>

The webdriver initialization code is as follows;

public static WebDriver initializeDriver() {
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--headless=new");
        WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(options);
        return driver;
    }

Can please clarify me why I keep getting this error with my setup or I'm missing some other dependencies?

Thanks and regards,

Asini

You need to have artifactId=selenium-java.

Also, if you use the latest Selenium, you do not need an explicit dependency on webdrivermanager; it is included.

Hi Asini,

WebDriverManager transitively brings an old version of some of "selenium-*.jar"s. 

See https://www.javaadvent.com/2020/12/how-to-debug-dependency-conflicts-in-maven-and-gradle.html

P.S. As mentioned before, most probably you should remove "webdrivermanager" dependency.
