Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract boolean is(java.lang.String)' of interface org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities.

......implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using.

Solution

Ensure that:

  • ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v95.0 level.
  • Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 95.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v95.0 release notes).
  • If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
  • Take a System Reboot.
  • Execute your @Test as non-root user.
  • Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
