Any idea on what do I miss here? Thanks

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowser ie Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is within the System.setProperty() line where you have passed the absolute path of the Google Chrome binary instead of ChromeDriver binary.

Solution

You need to download the relevant ChromeDriver binary for Mac OS X ie chromedriver_mac64 and place it anywhere within your system, extract the ChromeDriver binary and pass the absolute path within the System.setProperty() as follows:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

Answer 2

I faced the same problem. There is another solution for this.

Selenium requires Guava. Add below dependency as maven dependency to pom.xml.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
  <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
  <version>25.0-jre</version>
</dependency>
