Error : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/HasInputDevices , when running tests using ghostdriver

Question

I am trying to run my webdriver test cases using ghostdriver (Phantomjs) but that's giving error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/HasInputDevices.
Everything seems fine to me but I dont understand why there is error.
OS - WIN7
Coding - JAVA 1.7
Framework : java1.7+testng6.5.2+maven3
Selenium-java version 2.35.0

testcase

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriverService;

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class ghosttest {

    WebDriver driver;

    @Test
    public void testing() {

        DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
        caps.setJavascriptEnabled(true); 
        caps.setCapability(
        PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY,
        "D:/dumps/phantomjs-1.9.1-windows/phantomjs-1.9.1-windows/phantomjs.exe");
        driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps);
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");

        String Logintext = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Maps")).getText();
        System.out.println(Logintext);

    }
}

maven dependency for ghostdriver

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.detro.ghostdriver</groupId>
    <artifactId>phantomjsdriver</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Answer 1

Your problem is that ghostdriver is not compatible with Selenium 2.35.

If you change your dependency to 2.34 you will be fine. You will have to wait for a new PhantomJSDriver unfortunately if you specifically need Selenium 2.35.

Currently the latest version of phantomjsdriver is 1.0.4 as well, you had 1.0.3.
