Hi,
I was able to solve the issue by removing the below line from the maven dependency as my code was present in the src folder and not in the test folder.

Line which was removed ----> test

[Tejkumar Kempaiah]

Can you please share which line was removed @bipinmnair89 ?
Please find the below pom.xml + java sample code for the same.

Sample Code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
//setup the chromedriver using WebDriverManager
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().arch64().setup();

    //Create driver object for Chrome
    driver = new ChromeDriver();

    //Navigate to a URL
    driver.get("http://toolsqa.com");
    
    //close the browser
    driver.close();
}

Hope you got the issue resolved.

You need to comment this line, if your file is in src folder. If your file is in test folder then keep this line as it is.
