I have built an UI automation framework with Cucumber-jvm and selenium webdriver, for cross browser testing i have selenium grid which gets executed successfully locally but when i point the selenium grid to soucelabs grid it throws the below error,

i searched for this error earlier where solution suggested was to add dependency for commons-codec jar file in maven, i did that but still i'm getting the same issue.

Any help on this much appreciated since i'm stuck with this.

  • This kind of error means that you might have 2 or more apache common lib in your server and your application. Classloader propably gets first from server libs (this might be an old lib) and does not care about yours in application war/ear or whatever package you have. Remove one in server lib and check again. – Paweł Głowacz May 17 '17 at 06:07
  • not following you, but this is not a server-application code, this is QA automation code,everything at single location. – Yogiraj May 17 '17 at 06:30

I solved my issues, thanks @Paweł Głowacz for the pointers, instead of using apache commons codec version 10 i changed it to version 9 and that solved my issue.
