So I have stumbled on this error, whenever I try to remove an element from a JsonArray object, i get the NoSuchMethodException. But after looking at it for a solid day, i cannot find the reason for it. The method exists in the compiled .class file in the .jar file that is included in my project. And I'm at loss now. Surely the problem is between the chair and keyboard, but I just don't see it
EDIT: after compiling the project i don't get this error, so this has to do something with how eclipse is managing dependencies, because one project does use gson-2.2.4
I'm using gson 2.3 jar which I included via maven and even downloaded the jar file itself.
Example piece of code where the error is thrown:
else if (current.isJsonObject() && hasBucket(current)) {
JsonElement buckets = current.getAsJsonObject().get(BUCKETS);
JsonElement next = null;
if (buckets.isJsonArray() && buckets.getAsJsonArray().size()>0) {
JsonArray arr = buckets.getAsJsonArray();
arr.remove(0); //<--- exception is thrown here
} else if (buckets.isJsonObject()) {
Set<Entry<String,JsonElement>> entrySet = buckets.getAsJsonObject().entrySet();
for (Entry<String, JsonElement> entry : entrySet) {
next = entry.getValue();
buckets.getAsJsonObject().remove(entry.getKey());
break;
}
}
}
when i compile my project using maven i can see that maven is using gson 2.3
