Test code

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(
                By.className("aui-message aui-message-success success closeable shadowed aui-will-close")));

In Eclipse, it is marking red the Selenium wait methods in the automation test code and shows the below error:

The type com.google.common.base.Function cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class
files

I have already added the guava dependency, but still it is throwing the same error.

I have already checked the existing posts and none of them worked.

Please advise.

I think you need the `selenium-server-standalone` dependency (and not "selenium-java") — TacheDeChoco, Jul 30 '23 at 13:32
But I am running on my local machine, so why do we need that jar ? — Sandesh Sawant, Jul 30 '23 at 13:33

You need to take care of a couple of things:

By.className() would accept only one classname where as you have passed multiple in the line:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(
              By.className("aui-message aui-message-success success closeable shadowed aui-will-close")));

Instead you can use you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using cssSelector:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(
              By.cssSelector(".aui-message.aui-message-success.success.closeable.shadowed.aui-will-close")));

Using xpath:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(
              By.xpath("//*[@class='emptyAssemblyaui-message aui-message-success success closeable shadowed aui-will-close']")));

Additionally, instead of adding multiple Selenium related dependency:
- <selenium-version>4.10.0</selenium-version>
- <selenium-remote-version>4.10.0</selenium-remote-version>
- <selenium-http-jdk-client-version>4.10.0</selenium-http-jdk-client-version>
- <gson-version>2.8.5</gson-version>

and

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
    <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    <version>31.1-jre</version>
</dependency>

Replace them all with one single selenium-remote-driver dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-remote-driver -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    <version>4.10.0</version>
</dependency>

It is throwing errors at multiple places in the test code. Sample: `Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'Maven Project Builder' assertion failed: Marker property value is too long: AJC compiler errors: error at import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The import org.openqa.selenium.support cannot be resolved error at import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;` — Sandesh Sawant, Jul 30 '23 at 17:57

Getting an error "The type com.google.common.base.Function cannot be resolved."
