You are getting an exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap. It means that you don't have Guava (which is a dependency for Selenium) on your classpath. Try using the following maven dependency in your pom.xml file and build your project.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0-alpha-6</version>
</dependency>
If the above doesn't work or solve your problem, then include the following dependency for guava directly in your pom as below. Note: Do not include both in your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
<artifactId>guava</artifactId>
<version>19.0</version>
</dependency>
If you don't use maven, you could download the above jars from https://mvnrepository.com/ and include it in your classpath.
