java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.remote.internal.ApacheHttpClient.execute(Lorg/openqa/selenium/remote/http/HttpRequest;)Lorg/openqa/selenium/remote/http/HttpResponse;

Running Appium studio 12 & intelliJ latest.

I tried changing URL as 0.0.0.0:4723 but doesn’t work. I have included selenium jars 3.0 onwards. Still issue persists.

Unable to run a single test on IntelliJ. Any help will be much appreciated.
Code :

package tests;

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidElement;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.AndroidMobileCapabilityType;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.logging.Level;

public class AndroidTest {
private String reportDirectory = “reports”;
private String reportFormat = “xml”;
private String testName = “AndroidTest”;
protected AndroidDriver driver = null;

DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();

@BeforeTest
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException {
    dc.setCapability("reportDirectory", reportDirectory);
    dc.setCapability("reportFormat", reportFormat);
    dc.setCapability("testName", testName);
    dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
    dc.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.sse.retail.mysse");
    dc.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.APP_ACTIVITY, "md54b4dc7bdf8bdccb8a18d9d3e12fe3ead.SplashScreenActivity");
    driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), dc);
    driver.setLogLevel(Level.INFO);
}

@Test
public void testAndroidTest() {
    driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys("1234");
    new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@text='CALA SONA']")));
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@text='CALA SONA']")).click();
    new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@text='Submit']")));
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@text='Submit']")).sendKeys("1");
    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@class='android.widget.EditText']")));
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='android.widget.EditText']")).sendKeys("1234");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@text='Submit reading']")).click();
}

@AfterTest
public void tearDown() {
    driver.quit();
}

}

Here’s a very similar error I found by searching the web. Does this help?

Unfortunately no.
Tried it all. Everything is recently installed and all latest versions are taken for jars.
I am googling some more.
