How do I find total number of links on a web page using selenium and java 11?

Question

package exsc;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;

public class S1 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          // Give me the count of Links on a page  

          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\JARs\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = (WebDriver) new ChromeDriver();
      String url= "http://qaclickacademy.com/practice.php";
      driver.get(url);
      System.out.println(driver.findElements(By.xpath("a")).size());
   }
}

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/chrome/ChromeDriver at exsc.S1.main(S1.java:13) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:583) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521) ... 1 more

Answer 1

Just a minor point, instead of using xpath it'll be good if you use tagName in this scenario to find all the links. Something like this:

driver.findElements(By.tagName("a")).size();

Answer 2

Issue found with JAR mappings to the current project. Instead of importing external JARs to classpath in Build Path, it got imported to Modulepath.

Rearranging JARs solved the issue.
