Issue with AppiumLocalDriverService when repo has dependencies on both Appium and Selenium 4

[rookieInTraining]

Description

Given the dependency on both selenium 4 and appium, when I try to build a DriverService object for AppiumDriver, the operation fails with the below exception :

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class io.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumServiceBuilder does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method abstract createArgs()Ljava/util/List; of abstract class org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService$Builder.

Environment

• Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: io.appium:java-client:7.3.0
• Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: NA
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: NA
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: NA
• Mobile platform/version under test: NA
• Real device or emulator/simulator: NA

Details

Noticed that this issue is occurring due to a conflict of Selenium 4 and Appium. The abstract Builder class has now an extra argument for duration. The same code works fine when I downgrade the selenium version to 3.141.59

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

In the build.gradle file :

dependencies {
    api 'io.appium:java-client:7.3.0',
    api 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.0.0-alpha-6'
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
        AppiumDriverLocalService iOSDriverService;
        String appiumDriverPath = "/usr/local/bin/appium";
        String nodeJSDriverPath = "/usr/local/bin/node";

        iOSDriverService = new AppiumServiceBuilder()
                .usingDriverExecutable(new File(nodeJSDriverPath))
                .withAppiumJS(new File(appiumDriverPath))
                .withIPAddress("0.0.0.0")
                .usingAnyFreePort()
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE)
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL,"error")
                .build();
        iOSDriverService.start();

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"iOS");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION,"13.2");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,"iPhone 11 Pro Max");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME,"XCUITest");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,"Safari");

        AppiumDriver<MobileElement> ios = new IOSDriver<>(iOSDriverService, capabilities);

        ios.get("https://www.google.com");

    }

[mykola-mokhnach]

The error is expected. java client is not compatible to selenium4

[rookieInTraining]

@mykola-mokhnach - Do we have plans to update the java-client with the given code changes?

[mykola-mokhnach]

no plans until there is a stable release

[rookieInTraining]

ok, got it.
