I am using gradle to handle dependencies for my project. In my build.gradle I have testCompile "io.appium:java-client:5.0.0-BETA9" to compile the appium java client. It seems Selenium 3.5.1 was just released (their website has not been updated as I am writing this), and for some reason gradle is grabbing version 3.5.1 automatically for selenium-api, selenium-remote-driver, and selenium-support. I don't know why this is happening, but it is and it breaks the java client. I had to add
compile ('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-api:3.4.0'){force = true}
compile ('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-remote-driver:3.4.0'){force = true}
compile ('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:3.4.0'){force = true}
to fix my project.
So, if your project just suddenly stopped working for no reason whatsoever, check if these packages were updated, and if so make sure to force version 3.4.0 for them.
