Hi, I’ve got problem with 3.3.0. On 3.2.0 everything works well, but after updating to 3.3.0 my test dont want to work. I tried to ask here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34312395/appium-java-client-3-3-0-doesnt-want-to-start but noone know.

I’ve got correct dependencies, I think that capabilities are also good, but if I try to build it, I’m getting this:

I’ve tried to build a project with this fragment. Everything was ok.
I suggest you to check dependencies because I suspect the version conflict of

because I think that your project is still depending on older Selenium version somehow. The feature org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.HttpClient was released on 2015 (I don’t remember the release)
Also I advice you to use only

because the artefact already depends on Selenium.

If I try to leave there only

<dependency>
	<groupId>io.appium</groupId>
	<artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
 	<version>LATEST</version>
</dependency>

it doesnt work anyway.

Maybe your project depends on some other artefact. That artefact can depend on older Selenium version. Please check it.
If it is true please add org.seleniumhq.selenium to exclusions inside that dependency declaration. Please report an issue here otherwice: https://github.com/appium/java-client/issues. It would be perfect to see your pom at that report.

Its solved now! It was caused by another project, which I have in dependencies. In this project were selenium 2.42.2. After update it to 2.48.2 (appium required), it works. Thank you very much.
