This is a good question for stackoverflow as well.
selenium tests often break because chrome is updated automatically and the chromedriver does not, or vice-versa.
Just make sure the chromedriver you're using fits the chrome version that you have.
http://chromedriver.chromium.org/
Note version 2.43 and chrome 70 are not exactly compatible even though it says they are. If you have chrome 70, I suggest chromedriver 2.42.
I use docker which I manually maintain to avoid automated chrome updates, and I use protractor which has webdriver tool where I can tell it to freeze the chromedriver version. So nothing gets updated unless I say so, and it's been working well for a year and a half now.
