What Selenium version do you use? Show your classpath settings, what versions of dependencies do you have in the classpath.

[srinivasgoud-n]

Selenium version: 3.13.0

This is how my classpath looks like:

@srinivasgoud-n: You comment looks incomplete.

[srinivasgoud-n]

classpath.txt

[barancev]

You have

    <classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="lib/selenium-java-2.53.1.jar"/>

in the classpath that causes collisions.

[barancev]

Also

    <classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="lib/client-combined-3.8.1.jar"/>

Never include multiple versions of the same library to the classpath!

[srinivasgoud-n]

removed above two entries from classpath. still facing same issue..

[barancev]

This is a question rather than an issue. Or al least it's not a Selenium issue but your project misconfiguration. Please send questions to the selenium user group

Caused when your version of selenium is too old and guava is too new. guava > 22.0 will generate this error. Either downgrade to guava.22.0 or upgrade selenium.
