Bot was working perfectly yesterday, but today throws this error, has anyone else come across this and how did you fix it?:

It's not a perfect fix, but I got around this by changing the init method to this:

def init(self):
utils.prYellow("🤖 Thanks for using Easy Apply Jobs bot, for more information you can visit our site - www.automated-bots.com")
utils.prYellow("🌐 Bot will run in Chrome browser and log in Linkedin for you.")

        chrome_install = ChromeDriverManager().install()

        folder = os.path.dirname(chrome_install)
        chromedriver_path = os.path.join(folder, "chromedriver.exe")

        service = ChromeService(chromedriver_path)

        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service,options=utils.chromeBrowserOptions())
        
        self.cookies_path = f"{os.path.join(os.getcwd(),'cookies')}/{self.getHash(config.email)}.pkl"
        self.driver.get('https://www.linkedin.com')
        self.loadCookies()
