I have a problem when using selenium, I’m using chome drive and chromium both in the same version, I’m passing the options below but the error shown in the image occurs

 ![erro web driver](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/idxcommunity/original/2X/6/68e05e9972393995c7e7d47e263433dff987038b.png)

option used

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()  
options.add\_argument(“–no-sandbox”)  
options.add\_argument(“–headless=new”)  
options.add\_argument(“–disable-gpu”)  
options.add\_argument(“–disable-dev-shm-usage”)

any idea how to solve this?

I had tried to run Selenium with Chrome Driver but I could not make it work either. But using Firefox Driver (geckodriver) worked as expected.
