The package org.openqa.selenium is accessible from more than one module

Question

I'm using:

• Firefox 56.0.1
• Selenium 3.6.0
• Windows 10 home edition
• Gecko Driver 0.19.0

The error message is

The package org.openqa.selenium is accessible from more than one module: client.combined, net.bytebuddy"

Answer 1

This happens when you have added the external jars in the ModulePath.

Solution:

1. Remove the external jars from the node "Modulepath".
2. Select the node "Classpath" then add the external jars.
3. Review that all the jars are under the node "Classpath".

Answer 2

The problem is that you are adding Jar files to your Modulepath instead of Classpath. Go to Project->BuildPath->Config BuildPath->Remove Jars from Modulepath->then click on classpath->Add external selenium jar files.
