[Htmlunit-user] NoSuchMethodError AbstractHttpClient.execute

[Arun G. <aru...@gm...>]

Just starting to replace HttpUnit with HtmlUnit and liking the clean
API so far. The original test source is:

WebConversation conv = new WebConversation();
        GetMethodWebRequest getRequest = new GetMethodWebRequest(base
+ "/TestServlet");
        WebResponse getResponse = conv.getResponse(getRequest);
        assertTrue(getResponse.getText().contains("<title>Servlet
url-pattern in web.xml</title>"));


and replacing it with:

        WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
        HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage(base + "/TestServlet");
assertEquals("Servlet url-pattern in web.xml", page.getTitleText());

I've added the following dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.sourceforge.htmlunit</groupId>
            <artifactId>htmlunit</artifactId>
            <version>2.13</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

But running this test gives the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.http.impl.client.AbstractHttpClient.execute(Lorg/apache/http/HttpHost;Lorg/apache/http/HttpRequest;Lorg/apache/http/protocol/HttpContext;)Lorg/apache/http/client/methods/CloseableHttpResponse;
at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.HttpWebConnection.getResponse(HttpWebConnection.java:167)
at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient.loadWebResponseFromWebConnection(WebClient.java:1281)
at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient.loadWebResponse(WebClient.java:1198)

at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient.getPage(WebClient.java:376)
at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient.getPage(WebClient.java:361)

Googling asked me to add commons-codec dependency so I also added:

<dependency>
            <groupId>commons-codec</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-codec</artifactId>
            <version>1.8</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

No cigar though.

The original test is at:

https://github.com/javaee-samples/javaee7-samples/blob/master/servlet/metadata-complete/src/test/java/org/javaee7/servlet/metadata/complete/TestServletTest.java

What am I missing ?
