Answer 1

I had the similar error and adding following dependency solved it -

      <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
      <version>2.48.2</version>
      </dependency>

Scanning thought the stack trace and reaching the faulty class helped me analyze that my current version of class was not up to date.

Answer 2

It is an issue with the dependencies. The required selenium jar files are not added in the project build path Also check if the ChromeDriver.exe path is specified correctly in the code System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","chromedriver exe path");
