Hi Ashish,
I was trying to run the below code on Chrome browser. I was able to run the program successfully using breakpoints in the Debug mode and it completed successfully. However in the run mode it is always failing due to some error. Please find the code and the stack trace attached. Also in Firefox it runs in both Debug and Run mode without issues.
Regards,
Abhilash

On which line is it failing?
The error is occuring at line 40 as given below:
driver.findElement(By.xpath(part1 + i + part2)).click();
Latest stack trace attached
I even checked in google from the stack overflow site and tried different options but no luck still. Issue is only in Chrome.

It gives you error for very first link or second one?
