serenity version 3.6.12 fails with net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError Randomley

[GianniGiglio]

Setup:
serenity with cucumber using junit 5 parallelization.
Tests are run using remote webdriver.

Issue:
Randomly the following failure occurs.
net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError

It happens quite often 1 out of 5 builds however it is random and am unable to reproduce this so that I can debug this.
Might still be related to the junit5 parallelization that was recently introduced fyi @cliviu

Stacktrace:

I am also seeing this occurring running Serenity on SauceLabs, although it is only present when running tests on Android simulator. This seems to be happening about 1/5 instances for us as well. net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError: Could not instantiate class net.thucydides.core.webdriver.ProvidedDriver net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError io.cucumber.java.AbstractGlueDefinition.invokeMethod(AbstractGlueDefinition.java:47) io.cucumber.java.JavaStepDefinition.execute(JavaStepDefinition.java:29) io.cucumber.core.runner.CoreStepDefinition.execute(CoreStepDefinition.java:66) io.cucumber.core.runner.PickleStepDefinitionMatch.runStep(PickleStepDefinitionMatch.java:63) io.cucumber.core.runner.TestStep.executeStep(TestStep.java:86) io.cucumber.core.runner.TestStep.run(TestStep.java:57) io.cucumber.core.runner.PickleStepTestStep.run(PickleStepTestStep.java:51) io.cucumber.core.runner.TestCase.run(TestCase.java:95) io.cucumber.core.runner.Runner.runPickle(Runner.java:75) io.cucumber.core.runtime.CucumberExecutionContext.lambda$runTestCase$3(CucumberExecutionContext.java:151) io.cucumber.core.runtime.RethrowingThrowableCollector.executeAndThrow(RethrowingThrowableCollector.java:23) io.cucumber.core.runtime.CucumberExecutionContext.runTestCase(CucumberExecutionContext.java:151) io.cucumber.junit.FeatureRunner.runChild(FeatureRunner.java:144) io.cucumber.junit.FeatureRunner.runChild(FeatureRunner.java:28) io.cucumber.junit.FeatureRunner.run(FeatureRunner.java:137) io.cucumber.junit.CucumberSerenityRunner.runChild(CucumberSerenityRunner.java:258) io.cucumber.junit.CucumberSerenityRunner.runChild(CucumberSerenityRunner.java:58)

Have a look for a root cause in the stack trace, but it could just be the driver not coping with the load

[mbarua1]

Hello I am having this issue while running test through Jenkins. In Local I am not having driver. configuration error. What will be the solution for this

[mbarua1]

[mbarua1]

@wakaleo - could you please let me know what can be solution for this issue

[globalworming]

@mbarua1 do you have more information? your configuration, error stacktraces etc..

[mbarua1]

@globalworming yeah, I am giving some log here

[wakaleo]

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/runners/ParentRunner" would indicate a dependency conflict.

[mbarua1]

There is no error or conflict indication in Pom file

The logs added by @mbarua1 are not related to the original issue of the ticket. I'll add some logs as requested for the driverConfigurationError

[jjmoncada31]

Hi all
Do you have any solution for this? I am getting the same error after random executions.
