CodePudding user response：

It looks like a problem with the selenium jar. You havent referenced it properly. The best option is to create gradle/maven project and add the selenium as depedency. Here is an example how to add it in maven pom file:

 <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
            <version>4.6.0</version>
        </dependency>
 </dependencies>

The path to webdriver looks OK.

First way: You should download selenium jar files then add it to your project. Right click on your project > build path > configure build path Select java build path > libraries > add external Jars. browse where you add selenium jars then select it.

Second: You can create a maven project which is a management tool you can install its plugin from eclipse marketplace. open pom.xml file in the project then under dependencies, add the following code:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>4.6.0</version>
    </dependency>
