Greetings,
I wasn't sure if this issue is better in the chromedrivers mailing list but there appears to be material closer to what I'm trying to do here.
Up until three weeks ago I had no issues connecting to Chrome via selenium/python 3.6 to drive it.
Now I can't even attach to chrome through the python shell. I've tried the current chromedriver version 2.27 all the way back to 2.24 same result. I can still use FF.
e.g., in the python shell
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
Immediately shows me this. Not hanging just an immediate shutdown.
