                Do update the question with the version information of the binaries you are using as in SeleniumJavaClient and Chrome

I was facing the same issue and got resolved using below approach:
If you check JSON class at line 47, setLenient() is missing.
This issue is possibly due to conflicts in Gson versions.
Go to your repository:
  
C:\Users\User_name\.m2\repository\com\google\code\gson
Delete all the existing folders.
Now, add below maven dependency in your pom file:
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
    <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.5</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Re-build your pom.xml file and execute the script.
                This solved my issue on a Mac. Thanks!  cd /.m2/repository/com/google/code/gson rm -rf gson* Then add the dependency. I had to add the dependency. It didn't work until I did that.
