Selenium Webdriver Java - Eclipse java lang NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I have installed java and eclipse, and downloaded the JARS and placed them in the right directory as it should be. Below is my script:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class myClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Hello\n");

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Selenium/Drivers/chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.facebook.com");
    }
}

And i get the below error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/config/RegistryBuilder

I also found found the same issue. 

My code is :

package abcd;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Admin {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

//Instantiate Chrome Browser Driver

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C://Users//Falgu//AutomationProfile//chromedriver.exe");

//Create Chrome Browser Driver

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

//driver.quit();

}

}

And got below error 

Starting ChromeDriver 76.0.3809.68 (420c9498db8ce8fcd190a954d51297672c1515d5-refs/branch-heads/3809@{#864}) on port 27898

Only local connections are allowed.

Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

Please someone help me.

Hey there, you can first check which version of ChromeDriver is supported by Chrome Browser. You can simple google which version of ChromeDriver is supported by Chrome Browser version-76.

Then you can delete previously installed ChromeDriver.exe file and install the supported version.

Thank you so much. it is working. :)

Good to hear that. You can also post any other queries you have, here on Community.

Answer 1

I also faced this issue first time, in order to solve this I checked build path configured for my project.There you will see two options 1. Module path 2. Class path

Add your all external jars such as selenium jars under class path not module path and retry. It worked for me and If you need to know more, join our Selenium Training Online.

I am getting this below error even after adding required standalone and other jar files. Can you please help to solve this error.

javax.crypto package is included in jce.jar, which can be found under the "lib" folder of your JRE. Add it to your classpath, and you should be fine.

For more information about classpath, see: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html

How to change that Brother can you tell the procedure plzzzz

Answer 2

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError is usually thrown when the installed JRE cannot find the Class which needs to be executed.

Also, the required imports and JARS would also not be available. It seems like you have tried to add the jars related to Java Client. So the only solution is to remove and place all the JARS again correctly.
Do th following:

1. Remove all JARS including Selenium standalone server & Selenium Java client
2. Import all the JARS which you downloaded from here: https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/.
3. Make sure to import them to "Add External JARS" from "Conigure Build Path" option in Eclipse IDE.

This has to definately work.

Answer 3

can you the path like this way - C:\\Users\\Desktop\\SELENIUM\\chromedriver.exe

Comments

Yes, that's correct by the help of escaping character the error can be solved.
