Selenium 4 : Getting java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.WebElement.getDomAttribute(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;


I am using selenium "4.1.2" with chrome 97. While selecting value from drop down using select class, getting exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.WebElement.getDomAttribute(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;

Below are dependencies in my project:

                    ext {
                selenium = '4.1.2'
                webdrivermanager = '5.0.3'
            }
            dependencies {

Any help in resolving this issue is highly appreciated.


Solution

  • This error message...

    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.WebElement.getDomAttribute(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
    

    ...is the result of dependency version conflict.


    Deep Dive

    As per @titusfortner comment in the discussion you need to crosscheck that everything related to Selenium is set to 4.x and that nothing that requires Selenium 3.x (e.g., Appium 7) is included in your dependencies as @asolntsev in the comment mentions:

    All implementations of WebElement do override method getDomAttribute(). It never throws UnsupportedOperationException in real life.


    Solution

    You need to execute mvn dependency:tree or gradle dependencies and you will be able to trace the problem as described in this example.
