Chromedriver forcibly closing connection

[Scott Guyton]

Hello,

I've run into a peculiar issue when trying to use a recently compiled version of chromium with the python version of selenium webdriver. I find it odd, as previously I did not have this trouble about a month back.  Here is how I am calling the webdriver object:

chrome_path = Options()
chrome_path.binary_location = config['altlocation']
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_path)

The location string is stored in a .yaml file for abstraction as I have to run the test in multiple locations. I've tried to see if I could see the packets using wireshark, but that was a bust so, I'm not sure how to tackle this problem. Below is the full error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
