java.lang.module.FindException: Module processed.jcommander not found, required by org.seleniumhq.selenium.remote_driver error using Selenium Java

Question

I am trying to run selenium script with java language but facing the following error:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module processed.jcommander not found, required by org.seleniumhq.selenium.remote_driver

Answer 1

This error message...

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module processed.jcommander not found, required by org.seleniumhq.selenium.remote_driver

...implies that Selenium jars/binaries were not configured properly within the framework.

Solution

In such cases, the two basic steps to be taken are as follows:

• Delete the module-info.java file (incase you have one)
• Move the Selenium jar from the Modulepath to the Classpath (within Project > Properties: Java Build Path, tab Libraries)
