NoSuchMethodError in com.google.api.client library

Question

I'm trying to use the Google Cloud Storage SDK for Java into my Spring application.

Using Maven I've added it to my dependencies:

<dependency> <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>google-cloud-storage</artifactId> <version>1.31.0</version> </dependency> 

Then I try to initialize the Storage client with:

 client = StorageOptions.newBuilder() .setCredentials(ServiceAccountCredentials.fromStream(new ClassPathResource("/my/path/to.json").getInputStream())) .build() .getService(); 

but an error occurs

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.api.client.googleapis.services.json.AbstractGoogleJsonClient$Builder.setBatchPath 

I've noticed that in my google-api-client-1.23.0.jar libray loaded as dependency no setBatchPath was present.

I've tried to find the issue browsing on web but without fortune. I cannot understand which library (and version) I need to install in order to make it works.

Answer 1

Eventually I solved, there was a library duplication between my Web Application and Its Business Layer Jar component (I have a multi-module Project).

What I cannot understand is why there was a call to a non-existing method (AbstractGoogleJsonClient$Builder.setBatchPath) that was solved in this way.

In google-api-client-1.20.0.jar that method does not exists nor in google-api-client-1.23.0.jar

Answer 2

Try reading this, and then you may be able to work around the error.
