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.driveras :webdriver.chrome.driverChange
/Users/roja/Automation/chromedriver_osxas we need to include the name of thewebdriver binaryi.e.chromedriveras avalue:/Users/roja/Automation/chromedriver_osx/chromedriverChange
driver = new ChromeDriver();as :WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();Remove unwanted
throws InterruptedExceptionto keep your code short and simple.
FYI I had to do the solution proposed by varunrao321: Navigate to the folder containing chromedriver and run chmod +x chromedriver
I tried giving full permission to the chromedriver and it works fine.
chmod +x chromedriveror
chmod 777 chromedriver
