Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Version: 2019-12 (4.14.0), Build id: 20191212-1212. TestNG 7.1.0.r202001120626

Removing the TestNG library from the build path of the project containing the test and installing TestNG from menu Help / Install New Software did not work for me, I kept getting this error.

What worked for me was downloading guice-4.2.2.jar (from https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/Guice422), copying it into any folder, and adding it to the build path of the project as external JAR.

@missedone

In 7.0.0 pom below was the dependency information on guice

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.inject</groupId>
    <artifactId>guice</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.0</version>
    <classifier>no_aop</classifier>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

In 7.1.0 pom below was the dependency information on guice

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.inject</groupId>
    <artifactId>guice</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.0</version>
    <classifier>no_aop</classifier>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

So perhaps this issue is because guice became a compile time dependency from being a provided dependency ?
