I just tried to update the java-client version from 5.0.0-BETA9 to 5.0.1 and every time I'm trying to find an element in the screen I get this error.

    @luisromanwp Also. Could you check dependencies of you project? I suspect that there is some artefact which depends on Selenium version < 3.5.x

    @luisromanwp
    Yes. It looks like there is the dependency conflict.

    It was in the older version
    https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/91f9f2a6194a9c33006e9415c1f257c6a1fa5c04/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/remote/RemoteWebDriver.java#L415

    This is how it is looking now:

    Here is my POM:
    https://gist.github.com/luisromanwp/7781a94d9cb31567540302ca93394e80

    And is failing when I try to find an element like:
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*/android.widget.TextView[contains(@text,'Wallapop')]"))

    So, @TikhomirovSergey What should I do to fix it temporally changing dependencies?

    Could you try
    mvn dependency:tree

    and check the tree?

    Finally I made it work doing this in the POM:

    https://gist.github.com/luisromanwp/7389cc9f03a722f3cee9345f3347a0cf

    It was completely a dependency problem, thanks for your help :)

    @luisromanbcn I cannot see your resolution at the pom.xml link you past here.
    Could you verify it, please.
    I'm taking the same problem

    I am getting the same error on Appium when trying to find element

    Here is the code snippet

    public static MobileElement waitForMobileElementToBeClickable(By by) { try { return (MobileElement) wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(by)); } catch(NoSuchElementException nse) { System.out.println("No such element found !"); return null; } catch(TimeoutException toe) { System.out.println("Timeout exception cought !"); return null; } }

    Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.HashMap cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.WebElement
    [testng] at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.findElement(RemoteWebDriver.java:358)

    @ShriD The problem is that wait.until is a Boolean and you’re trying to convert to MobileElement, you should do a findElement after the code passes the wait.until and return it

    I encounter the same issue when finding elements. Not sure if this is a dependency issue or locator issue. Work fine on local but the below error sometime occur on browser stack.
    WebDriver java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to class org.openqa.selenium.WebElement
    I'm using java-client 9.2.2, the element locator is:

    @AndroidFindBy(xpath = "//android.widget.EditText[contains(@hint, \"Enter your email, phone\") and @displayed = \"true\"]")
    @iOSXCUITFindBy()
    private WebElement emailField;

    Below is the dependency tree

    @annq-0196 unfortunately it's still not clear what root cause is, would you mind sharing Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example ?
