Fresh Chrome installations now show a "Choose your search engine" popup in Europe. This might make your Cucumber tests fail.
Fortunately there is a flag to disable the popup. Add the following option to your chromedriver setup code:
options.add_argument('--disable-search-engine-choice-screen')
I found this flag in Peter Beverloo's list Show archive.org snapshot .
Background: This was experienced locally with google-chrome 127.0.6533.72
. In CI I did not get the popup.
