How to solve "java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: Companion"

Question

I'm following this guide to test Vaadin app using Selenium.

The following line:

var driver = new ChromeDriver();

produces the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: Companion

In my pom.xml I have

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
            <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

Answer 1

Add the <version> tag for selenium-java , you will be good to go:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.8.0</version>
</dependency>
