Running Webdriver from tomcat java

I am trying to run a Java webapp hosted on tomcat that will run selenium / chrome web driver.

However when you try to launch the chromedriver you get a 500 internal server error

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(ZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService.checkExecutable(DriverService.java:137)

I've tried multiple variants to load the drivers as well as changing to firefoxdriver and RemoteWebDriver but i still get the same issue.

I have placed the chromeDriver and Chrome.exe within web pages/web-inf/lib. Also System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","chromedriver.exe");

But nothing changes.

Is this even possible?

I'm pretty sure you need to specify the full page to the chromedriver including the .exe extension. – JeffC

It was a terrible challenge for me the find a fully working combination of these two artifacts

  • selenium-chrome-driver
  • Google guava (which includes com.google.common.base.*)

I finally manage to get a working one:

  • selenium 3.12.0
  • guava 21.0
