My driver class looks like the following:

	public static WebDriver getDriver(BrowserType browser) {
		WebDriver driver = null;
		switch (browser) {
		case CHROME:
			System.setProperty(PROPERTY_DRIVER_CHROME, PATH_DRIVER_CHROME);
			System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.logfile", "C:/Programs/eclipse Neon/workspace/cucumber/logs/chromedriver.log");
			System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.verboseLogging", "true");
			driver = new ChromeDriver();
			break;
		case IE:
			System.setProperty(PROPERTY_DRIVER_INTERNET_EXPLORER, PATH_DRIVER_INTERNET_EXPLORER);
			System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver.loglevel", "WARN");

			
			driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
			break;
		case FF:
		default:
			FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
			options.setLogLevel(Level.WARNING);


			System.setProperty(PROPERTY_DRIVER_FIREFOX, PATH_DRIVER_FIREFOX);
			driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
			break;
		}
		return driver;
	}

The problem is with this dependency

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>htmlunit-driver</artifactId>

</dependency>

This dependency brings in a very old version of selenium-api [ Refer to the compile dependencies section here ]

I would suggest that you do the following.

Upgrade to the latest version of htmlunit-driver viz., 2.52.0
To be on the safer side, add an exclusion as below. (because htmlunit-driver brings in selenium-support 2.52.0)

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>htmlunit-driver</artifactId>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>

</exclusion>

</exclusions>

</dependency>

Now you can try again.

Thanks & Regards

when using :

</dependency>

it seems to work fine, with the exclusion i get alot of missing dependencies so i decided to remove that.I am getting some inconsitencies in my chromedriver but i will make a diffrent ticket for that or il ask the chrome devs.

Thanks for the help
