How to solve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError? Selenium

Question

Why this code doesn't work?

import org.junit.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class MainTest {

private WebDriver wd;
private String urll;



@Before
public void openGoogle()
{
    wd = new FirefoxDriver();
    urll = "https://google.com";
}

@Test
public void firstTest()
{
    wd.get(urll);
}

@After
public void closeBrow()
{
    wd.quit();
}
}

Error stack trace :

Those kinds of problems are most of the time coused by dependency missconfigurations. How are you adding your dependencies? Are you using maven, gradle, ant or any ather build tool? If so add configuration file for your build. If you are adding jars by hand list jars added to your project. — abalcerek, Feb 19 '18 at 21:49

The error says it all :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Function
at MainTest.openGoogle(MainTest.java:15)

While working with Selenium v3.x you have to download geckodriver.exe from mozilla/geckodriver and place it in your system. Next you have to set the system property through the line System.setProperty() as follows and provide the absolute path of the GeckoDriver binary within your system as follows :

@Before
public void openGoogle()
{
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
    wd = new FirefoxDriver();
    urll = "https://google.com";
}

Finally Instead of mentioning import org.junit.*; as per best practices mention the distinct exports as follows :

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.After;
