TestContainer running a Selenium Chrome Driver, java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

I am trying to run a Selenium test via a TestContainer.

This is failing via a NoSuchMethodError on ChromeOptions .addArguments(String...s)

However, if I call this directly from a test it passes and the addArguments(String...s) method is found, e.g.

@Test 
void thisTestPasses() {
  ChromeOptions co = new ChromeOptions();
  co.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
}

However, if this method is called via the BrowserWebDriverContainer class, then it throws a NoSuchMethodError

This is my test method:

  @Test
void thisTestFailsWithMethodNotFound() {
  BrowserWebDriverContainer chrome = new BrowserWebDriverContainer()
      .withRecordingMode(BrowserWebDriverContainer.VncRecordingMode.RECORD_ALL,
          new File("./target/"))
      .withCapabilities(new ChromeOptions());
  chrome.start();

}

This test calls the following from org.testcontainers.containers.BrowserWebDriverContainer

    // Hack for new selenium-chrome image that contains Chrome 92.
    // If not disabled, container startup will fail in most cases and consume excessive amounts of CPU.
    if (capabilities instanceof ChromeOptions) {
        ChromeOptions options = (ChromeOptions) this.capabilities;
        options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
    }

Where options.addArguments("--disable-gpu"); throws java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions.addArguments(java.lang.String[])'

The Selenium 4.X support for the selenium Testcontainers module is currently an ongoing issue and has already been reported.

There's already an open PR to fix it but it's not yet integrated.

You can try to downgrade Selenium to 3.141.59 if you're not relying on any Selenium 4.X API.

Thank you for the answer! I used your tutorials on Selenium and Testcontainers, so thanks for those too! – kwh Jan 02 '22 at 14:06
Thank you :) Great to meet then here on Stack Overflow :D – rieckpil Jan 02 '22 at 14:43
Now I have been looking at it more, I don't understand why the correct version of ChromeOptions isn't called from BrowserWebDriverContainer?! Does TestContainers shade its dependencies? I can only see version 4.1.1 on my mvn dependency:tree – kwh Jan 02 '22 at 21:42
Testcontainers [shades some dependencies](https://www.testcontainers.org/#managing-versions-for-multiple-testcontainers-dependencies) but I guess not Selenium (see the last hint [here](https://www.testcontainers.org/modules/webdriver_containers/)). What happens if you downgrade Selenium? – rieckpil Jan 03 '22 at 06:22
It works when I downgrade :D I am only asking about 4.1.1 out of my own curiosity now, I don't understand why that would throw a NoMethodException, if the Selenium Jars aren't shaded and there is only one version in my dependencies – kwh Jan 03 '22 at 06:56
I guess that's due to a [change in the signature](https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/issues/4593#issuecomment-950579053) of a method Testcontainers is calling. – rieckpil Jan 03 '22 at 07:58
