The latest version of Chrome v52.0.2743.116 seems to have affected our tests, which use Selenium with Chrome. Earlier we updated the version of the chrome grille through the Selenium NuGet package if an update appeared in Chrome. The latests driver mentions that it is compatible with v52.
A call to create a ChromeDriver (OpenQA.Selenium, Chrome) fails, as shown
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http:

Our code on line 59 looks like this:
ScenarioContext.Current["webDriverChrome"] = new ChromeDriver(path);
This passes the path to the chromedriver.exe file.
These tests worked until the version of Chrome upgraded from v51 to v52. He worked on ChromeDriver version 2.19 (Selenium NuGet 2.19.0.0), so we upgraded to 2.23 (Selenium NuGet 2.23.0.1), which shows that it works with v52, but we get an exception.
