How to run Selenium automated tests with HtmlUnit driver and Spring Boot?

Question

Not able to configure and run Selenium tests after configuring HtmlUnit driver in my Spring Boot application.

Getting an error when I execute the test.

BaseSeleniumTests.java

public abstract class BaseSeleniumTests {

    protected static String BASE_URL = "";
    private static final String URL_PROPERTIES = "url.properties";
    protected WebDriver driver;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        //load test properties
        Properties p = loadAppTestProperties();
        BASE_URL = p.getProperty("base.url");
        System.out.println("BASE_URL = " + BASE_URL);

        //load driver
        this.driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
    }

    private Properties loadAppTestProperties() {
        ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
        String filePath = classLoader.getResource(URL_PROPERTIES).getFile();
        File f = new File(filePath);
        try {
            Properties p = new Properties();
            p.load(new FileReader(f));
            return p;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.close();
            driver.quit();
        }
    }

}

HomePageTest.java

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class HomePageTest extends BaseSeleniumTests {

    @Test
    public void testHomePage() {
        this.driver.get(BASE_URL);
        String htmlSource = this.driver.getPageSource();
        assertTrue(htmlSource.contains("US Router"));
        assertTrue(htmlSource.contains("Welcome to JPMorgan Chase"));
    }

}
