The error IllegalStateException: The driver is not executable: /Users/roja/Documents/GitHub/testautomation/chromedrivers/chromedriver_osx says it all. You have to make exactly 4 changes as follows :

  • Change Webdriver.chrome.driver as :

    webdriver.chrome.driver

  • Change /Users/roja/Automation/chromedriver_osx as we need to include the name of the webdriver binary i.e. chromedriver as a value :

    /Users/roja/Automation/chromedriver_osx/chromedriver

  • Change driver = new ChromeDriver(); as :

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

  • Remove unwanted throws InterruptedException to keep your code short and simple.
