Browsermob dependecy insertion cannot work with allure testng

Question

I'm trying to change requests headers using browsermob, but I can't even insert the dependency. I don't know if there are any incompatibilities between allure and browsermob, I already tried to downgrade the allure version and really I have no clue about what is happening.

<dependency>
   <groupId>net.lightbody.bmp</groupId>
   <artifactId>browsermob-core</artifactId>
   <version>2.1.5</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Just inserting this dependency and running my basic test I get the below error messages:

[ERROR] org.testng.ITestNGListener: Provider io.qameta.allure.testng.AllureTestNg could not be instantiated [INFO] [INFO] Results: [INFO] [INFO] Tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 [INFO] [ERROR] There are test failures.

Answer 1

Did you find an answer to your issue? I just had the same problem, and after hours of research, I fixed it by just reordering dependencies in pom.xml file: your dependencies to allure MUST be below your dependencies to browserMobProxy in the file... for a reason I can't explain.

So I think this would work for you:
