[🐛 Bug]: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: dev/failsafe/Policy

[Mrigz1]

What happened?

I am using Eclipse -> Maven with Selenium version 4.27.0 . I have tried solutions available on github , youtube but not possible to resolve this issue.

This is my pom file
pom.docx

How can we reproduce the issue?

package intro;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class SekkIntro {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
	}

}

This should be fixed with the next release, failsafe has been removed in this place with 93483c5

@Mrigz1 In the mean time you could try this workaround: #14567 (comment)
