Groovy issue "groovy.lang.MissingMethodException"

Question

Recently I am facing the below issue with one of my job executions.

Below is the exception msg:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.ChromeDriverManager.clearResolutionCache() is applicable for argument types: () values: []

    at geb.ConfigurationLoader.loadRawConfig(ConfigurationLoader.groovy:303)

It is working previously. Now my scripts are running but only 40% of them are running. and few are failing with

classMethod FAILED geb.error.UnableToLoadException: Unable to load configuration @ 'file:/C:/Users//B2B-AUTO/QA1/build/resources/test/GebConfig.groovy' (with environment: chrome) at geb.ConfigurationLoader.loadRawConfig(ConfigurationLoader.groovy:293)

How to fix this issue. let me know if you need more detail. please share your thoughts

It looks like you are trying to call a method from a newer version of the library. clearResolutionCache() does NOT exist in versions prior to 4.0.0, and given the package name you posted it seems like you are on version 3.8.1 or earlier.

It looks like ChromeDriverManager is in a different package than the one you listed. Here is the latest API:

https://javadoc.io/static/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager/5.2.3/io/github/bonigarcia/wdm/managers/ChromeDriverManager.html

Notice the package is:

io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.managers.ChromeDriverManager

You have:

io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.ChromeDriverManager

Here are the docs from 3.8.1 and you can see clearResolutionCache does not exist:

https://javadoc.io/doc/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager/3.8.1/index.html

If you want to use clearResolutionCache() you'll have to upgrade your driver to 4.0.0+
