Failed to instantiate class on a previously working script

I have a simple Framework that has been working but when I try to run the script I am getting a 'Failed to instantiate class' error
I have run this on my laptop and it work, but on my PC I am getting the errors below so I suspect that is could be a set up issue, but i am little unsure as to where to start with fixing it.
This is my 'home steps'
package steps;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Given;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Then;
import pages.CheckboxesPage;
import pages.DropdownPage;
import pages.HomePage;
import support.SeleniumSetup;
public class HomeSteps extends SeleniumSetup {
public HomeSteps() throws Exception{
prepareBrowserForSelenium();
}
#Given("^I am on the herokuapp page \"(.*?)\"$")
public void i_am_on_the_herokuapp_page(String arg1) throws Throwable {
if (arg1.equals("landing page")) {
new HomePage(driver).automationLandingPage();
}
else if(arg1.equalsIgnoreCase("Checkboxes")) {
new CheckboxesPage(driver).landingPage();
}
else if (arg1.equals ("Dropdown page")) {
new DropdownPage(driver).verifyLandingPageCopy();
}
}
#Then("^I will be able to select ab testing$")
public void i_will_be_able_to_select_ab_testing() throws Throwable {
// Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
new HomePage(driver).selectABLink();
}
}
And this is the error that's returned

I would expect a brief validation of the following homepage
http://the-internet.herokuapp.com

It states here
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: C:\Users\Selenium and drivers\chromedriver.exe
It basically cannot find your chromedriver.exe file. Your file path may be different in the laptop vs the PC you're trying on.

Selenium ElementNotInteractableException

I'm trying to automate certifications online but it is preventing me from clicking on a link to proceed to the form page.
I've used the other solutions given by others and went from not able to finding the element to getting org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException:
Here's a snippet of my code
List<WebElement> linkList = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
for(int i = 0; i < linkList.size(); i++){
System.out.println(linkList.get(i).getAttribute("href"));
if(linkList.get(i).getAttribute(("href")).contains("student")){
linkList.get(i).click();
}
}
Basically I used the loop to find which tagName contained the link I needed, but here's the error:

I've also never seen anyone with ElementNotInteractableException, but a similar variant of it that is similar (I think)
"Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated"
Here's the relevant HTML:
<li class="list label"
Manage My Students
</li>
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: Found a way to go around it by using
driver.navigate().to(String.valueOf(linkList.get(i).getAttribute("href")));
But would really like to know how to do it properly as I don't think this is the way.

Assumption 1: There are some hidden links. You have to skip them by checking isDisplayed().
List<WebElement> linkList = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
for(int i = 0; i < linkList.size(); i++){
System.out.println(linkList.get(i).getAttribute("href"));
if(linkList.get(i).getAttribute(("href")).contains("student") && linkList.get(i).isDisplayed()){
linkList.get(i).click();
}
}
Assumption 2: Some elements are being render on top of some links. You have to wait until they are clickable.
List<WebElement> linkList = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
for(int i = 0; i < linkList.size(); i++){
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
System.out.println(linkList.get(i).getAttribute("href"));
if(linkList.get(i).getAttribute(("href")).contains("student")){
try {
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(linkList.get(i));
linkList.get(i).click();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unable to click on " + linkList.get(i).getAttribute("href") + ". Exception: " + e.printStackTrace());
}
}
}

Error While running junit testcase in eclipse

I am using Junit 4 and i am using 2 libraries to handle mocking in junit.
Below is my code.
package tutorials;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;
// #RunWith attaches a runner with the test class to initialize the test data
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MathApplicationTester {
//#InjectMocks annotation is used to create and inject the mock object
#InjectMocks
MathApplication mathApplication = new MathApplication();
//#Mock annotation is used to create the mock object to be injected
#Mock
CalculatorService calcService;
#Test
public void testAdd(){
//add the behavior of calc service to add two numbers
when(calcService.add(10.0,20.0)).thenReturn(30.00);
//test the add functionality
Assert.assertEquals(mathApplication.add(10.0, 20.0),30.0,0);
}
}
After running the above method as JUnit test .Following error message is displayed.

I am using mockito-all-1.10.19.jar and powermock-module-junit4-1.6.6.jar.Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

You need to add powermock-core.jar to your classpath

Java Selenium Webdriver Connection Refused

I am getting the all too common connection refused error on my selenium webdriver. The same code was executing a few weeks ago.
I have been reading in circles through existing posts and have tried updating geckodriver and FireFox to no avail. I can run the same code on another computer running the same versions of the driver, browser and libraries etc. How can I find the cause specific to this machine? the error is below.

Our security dept introduced a policy which blocked access to the execution of the geckodriver.exe. This was identified by attempting to run from cmd. Not sure why I didn't get the meaningful error in the IDE (blocked by group policy) for gecko, I did get this error for chrome and IE. In order to use the driver it needed to be saved in Program files though this may be specific to my situation. If you get this error for Geckodriver i would suggest trying to execute it from cmd to see if there is a policy issue.

Here is the solution to your Question:
I don't see any error as such in your code but the error stack trace HttpHostConnectException says it all.
Perform the following steps:
I don't see any necessity to use throws InterruptedException, you may consider to remove it.
As per best practices try to keep the geckodriver in convenient locations: e.g. C:\\your_directory.
Avoid using directory names with Temp.
Though you have taken help of DesiredCapabilities Class, you haven't passed it while you initiated the driver instance. You must be doing:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
Clear your Mozilla Firefox Browser cache.
From the Windows Task Manager, manually kill all the running instances of geckodriver.exe
You may require to run the CCleaner to keep off all the unwanted stuff.
Restart you machine.
Execute your Test. It should work well.
At the end of your Test Step do call driver.quit() to prevent geckodriver instances from dangling.
Here is your own working code block adding the System.setProperty line:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
System.out.println("Debug 1");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
Let me know if this helps you.

I was facing the same error here. After a system reboot, the code worked just fine.
My problem was that my code left some processes open at the end, and they were using a lot of RAM.
Try running:
pkill geckodriver
pkill firefox
pkill selenium
And then run your code again.

Exception while deleting cookies with Safari 10 / Selenium 3.0.1

I'm having a problem adding and deleting cookies with the native SafariDriver in Safari 10.0: A generic WebDriverException is thrown and I'm looking for a fix or a workaround.
This is occurring with the following components:
Mac OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
Safari 10.0 [provides native implementation of SafariDriver]
Selenium 3.0.1
The following document indicates that the native SafariDriver in Safari 10 no longer requires installation of the Selenium SafariDriver extension, but depends on Selenium 3.0 or higher. And I've ensured that Selenium 3.x is being used and that Selenium 2.x is not on my system.
While testing, the browser window has the orange SmartSearch field, and throws the exception below when clicking the test window. I know the test framework is using the correct audio driver because of the following system property,and the fact that the exception thrown indicates the Selenium version as 3.0.1
The webdriver.safari.driver Mac OS X system property is set to /usr/bin/safaridriver
The following works with Safari:
driver.manage().getCookies();
The following fails with Safari, but works with Chrome
driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

This was a known issue in safaridriver. It is fixed in Safari 11.
