[🐛 Bug]: The previously configured ChromeDriver service is still running. (wrong error message for unsupported chromedriver version?)

See original GitHub issue

What happened?

My tests ran fine before a system upgrade. Now I get: Even if running my tests is the first thing I do after booting my computer.

Error: The previously configured ChromeDriver service is still running. You must shut it down before you may adjust its configuration.
    at Object.setDefaultService (/home/ploppz/oa/minos/ui/node_modules/.pnpm/selenium-webdriver@4.1.2/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/chrome.js:262:11)
    at buildChromeDriver (/home/ploppz/oa/minos/ui/tests/features/support/world.js:20:10)

How can we reproduce the issue?

The code is not open source, but I have a suspicion that it has to do with my version of chromium. I’m on Arch Linux, and after the system update, my chromium version is 101. Does Selenium support this chromium version? If not, then perhaps the error message could be improved.

Yes, 101 is supported. We would need any code snippet that help us reproduce the issue. It does not need to be the exact same one you use for your work.
