Java.lang.NoSuchMethodError when creating FirefoxDriver in java

Question

Upon attempt:

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver(); 

I get the following error:

 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.Proxy.extractFrom(Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;)Lorg/openqa/selenium/Proxy; at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.dropCapabilities(FirefoxDriver.java:313) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:191) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:186) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:182) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:95) 

This problem started right after firefox on ubuntu was updated to version 32.0, I tried to install version 28.0, but still did not work.

Any ideas? thanks in advance

After changing the driver version to 2.39, for example curiosu , a new error shows:

Solution: I managed to solve the problem, I changed the version of selenium webDriver from 2.42.2 to 2.39.0 and downgraded the firefox version from 32.0 to 28.0

Answer 1

Had the same Exception with updating FireFox 32 and Selenium Firefox Webdriver 2.40.0 on Windows 7. I will post my solution here, it may not solve your problem, but it may be a solution for other users with the same problem who land here after searching .

Somehow selenium-remote-driver will not be updated correctly while it is present in the POM file for selenium-firefox-driver . My solution added a remote driver to my own POM:

 <dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId> <artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId> <version>2.43.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId> <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId> <version>2.43.1</version> </dependency> 

I had to restart my IDE (IntelliJ) and rebuild the project, but after that it worked.

Final configuration:

• Firefox 32.0.3
• Selenium FireFox 2.43.1 driver
• Selenium Remote driver 2.43.1

Answer 2

You have a compatibility issue between them. an easy way would be to find a version compatible with ubuntu 32.0

Answer 3

Try using an older version of FirefoxDriver .

Use an old FirefoxDriver (ex: 2.39) with Firefox 32.

Answer 4

Try the older FF build. I am also currently observing such a problem. FF does not build 32 with the last selenium, but after restoring the changes in the old version, my problem will be successfully resolved.

Answer 5

If selenium code is executed for the first time after importing containers

Right-click on the project-> Build Path-> Configure Build Path ...-> Order and Export-> get selenium java, stand-alone banners under JRE Library-> OK

Re-execute the code, it will work.
