    Pls make sure you have the following jars available in  C:\Program Files\SmartBear\ReadyAPI-2.2.0\bin\ext

Some times cases are different and it might have worked for the author of this question. And that solution might not worked for you. You can still create a new question with the details as much possible including what solutions you have already tried.

I don't think you are reading the thread correctly. The issue is the exact same thing. It comes down to lib files and there versions. We should all have the correct versions from the webdriver distribution, browser version, browserdriver version, and whatever soapUI requires.

    Here is my solution that I posted in another thread where I got some very good feedback.

    https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/NoSuchMethodError-SimpleTimeLimiter-Error-while-invoking/m-p/163726/highlight/false#M36833

     

     

    Okay, I have this fixed.....for now.

    As I mentioned above, I have local policy rule restrictions on top of the file compatibility issue.

     

    The issue isn't the compatibility related to the \ext directory, it’s the files in the \lib directory. I'd like to know if there is a relationship between the two directories. We have similar files but different versions. So how are these directories used?

     

    Solution: Replace \lib files "gson-2.3.1.jar", and "guava-20.0.jar"

                    with "gson-2.8.2.jar", and "guava-23.6-jre.jar" (from the Selenium 3.9 zip or whatever you are using)

     

                    Copy/Archive the \lib and \ext sub directories

                    Rename the installation directory to Ready_API_ORG

                    Run the Ready_API installer and perform a new install

                    (The v2.23 update feature caused me weeks of pain so I don't suggest using it at this time.)

                    Copy jar files to \ext  Selenium(from the zip file), custom, sql ,and any others that you were using.

                    Copy the gson, and guava files from \ext and replace the ones in \lib.

     

    This got rid of the various NoSuchMethodErrors for me. Now I had another connectivity error related to the options questions that I asked about above. I need the FF equivalent settings defined for Chrome.

     

    I modified my groovy script to use Chrome again and the Chrome browser launched successfully.

     

    Couple of thoughts:

    I would caution telling folks to use FF as if it is the exclusive browser supported by SmartBear, unless that is in fact the case. May just say that you happen to be using FF for the purpose of your example. Ultimately we want our scripts to be able to perform cross browser testing. 

     

    One potential problem is maintaining the \ext directory with no guidance from SmartBear. I'm sure that I broke something out of ignorance. As I update selenium, I add the updated files to the directory. I don't really know what needs to be removed from the old files so I'll typically rename them. this makes for a mess, as I have Selenium, SQL, Custom and whatever jar files that I need to include in here. 

     

    My suggestion is to keep all files archived and given their own directories in the archive.
