ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed

UPDATE 2:
I reached out to some chat’s for Selenium and now I have a better understanding. In the latest version of Selenium, there is a built in driver manager that can do the heavy lifting for you. (e.g. I am using 4.10.0)

This criteria must be met:

  1. You do in fact need to have Chrome (not the driver) itself installed and PATH set (see bash script)
  2. You need to make sure the driver location isn’t specified in a Service class
  3. You need to make sure no 3rd party managers are installed
  4. There’s no drivers exist in directories included in the PATH Environment Variable

I am testing out what I learned now…

Here are the doc from Selenium:
