The import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType cannot be resolved

Question

I can't do the following two imports in Selenium 3.4.0

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;  
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

My maven dependencies for selenium is as below:

<dependency>  
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>  
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>  
    <version>3.4.0</version>  
</dependency>  
<dependency>  
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>  
    <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>  
    <version>3.4.0</version>  
</dependency>

I'm getting error messageslike The import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType cannot be resolved in Eclipse

What could be the problem?

As you are trying to include the following imports:

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;  
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

You have already added the org.seleniumhq.selenium and org.seleniumhq.selenium dependencies in the pom.xml.

Now, as per the Selenium 3.4.0 Documentation here as you want to use the RemoteWebDriver implementation, you still need to download the selenium-server-standalone.jar from the Selenium Download page and and then either put it into your resources folder and manipulate it through Runtime or put it somewhere else and manipulate it via command line.

I embed the selenium server. The issue is only there for selenium 3.4.0. It works perfectly fine in selenium 3.0.1 (with chrome). I am trying to use geckodriver with the latest selenium version.

@chenzen So where are you exactly stuck now? Did you download the selenium-server-standalone.jar? Can you share your research?

i solved it by adding the selenium java client to the build path directly.

Add this additional dependency in your pom.xml

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-remote-driver -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    <version>2.44.0</version>
</dependency>
