cannot access AbstractDriverOptions
options.addArguments("--disable-web-security");
       ^
class file for org.openqa.selenium.remote.AbstractDriverOptions not found

This code was working fine with older version of Selenium dependency but now i upgraded all my dependencies to new versions for some reasons and it’s not working

Answer

You miss the following dependency

implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-remote-driver:4.0.0-rc-1'

As stated in the official documentation, generally we can just use selenium-java dependency

implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.0.0-rc-1'

instead of

implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chrome-driver:4.0.0-rc-1'
implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:4.0.0-rc-1'
implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-remote-driver:4.0.0-rc-1'

Unable to set maven dependencies for RemoteWebDriver
