    public static void main(String[]args){

        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","Users/Golcha/Desktop/Automation/geckodriver.exe");

Try below code but check the path of geckodriver properly before executing the below code or I ll suggest you to paste geckodriver in C drive or any other drives to make your path simple as below one :

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", "C:\\geckodriver.exe");

It should work without any problem . All the best !

I thing you have not mentioned the complete(full) path for the Geckodriver in your System.setProperty() method. you have missed the drive letter "C"

"C:/Users/Golcha/Desktop/Automation/geckodriver.exe"

Let me know if this solved your problem.

I had a similar problem but weirdly I was not able to execute the selenium script on both my drivers (chrome and firefox), I tried checking my setProperty method, my gecko driver path and chrome driver path. Lastly, I tried updating both my browser and it seems to be working now. (my current version of Chrome is 66 and my current version of my Firefox is 56.0).
