Are you using any dependency control like Maven? And when does that error happen? When you execute your code from IDE? or from CMD? if from IDE, which IDE are you using?– Alexey R.Apr 19, 2018 at 10:32

Not using Maven, i am using eclipse to run the code written in java after importing selenium.jar file into the project.– SudeeptApr 19, 2018 at 11:05

I strongly recommend you to use Maven since I think "apache commons io" is not the only library you're missing. You would not see any import problems but when you run your code there would be ClassNotFound exception because a lot of libraries also depend on some other libraries, and you will have find, download and attach the corresponding jars to your project.– Alexey R.Apr 19, 2018 at 11:10

You need the download the "org.apache.commons.io.jar" jar file. After that you have to add this downloaded jar in project lib and import it in class, it will work.
