I ran my script from the home folder, and I got this error. When I run my autoupload-to-ghpages script (that exists in the home folder) inside the loconotion directory, it runs fine. What's going on?

For now, I'll specify to cd to the loconotion directory inside the script, but I just thought that this was weird.

I was able to reproduce and resolve this bug by using the webdriver_manager.chrome dependency which automatically sets the correct relative path to the driver executable, no matter what directory you are in.
