Automatic Closing of Web Browser in Selenium

Question

I am currently trying to re-run an old Selenium test. It was working as intended previously but now when I try to run it, I get an error. Here is the following code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class IMDBSearch {

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    //new driver for chrome
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    //entering the url
    String url = "http://www.imdb.com/search/title";
    driver.get(url);
    //clicking the featured film radio button
    WebElement featureFilm = driver.findElement(By.id("title_type-1"));
    featureFilm.click();
    //clicking the tvmovie radio button
    WebElement tvMovie = driver.findElement(By.id("title_type-2"));
    tvMovie.click();
    //clicking the tv radio button
    WebElement tvButton = driver.findElement(By.id("title_type-3"));
    tvButton.click();
    //using the xpath to select a 7.0 minimum rating
    WebElement userRating = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body//div[@id='main']//div/select[@name='user_rating-min']/option[text()= '7.0']"));
    userRating.click();
    //using xpath to select US as a country
    WebElement country = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body//div[@id='main']//div/select[@class = 'countries']/option[@value= 'us']"));
    country.click();
    //using xpath to select the sorting by user rating
    WebElement sort = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body//div[@id= 'main']//div/select[@name = 'sort']/option[@value = 'user_rating,asc']"));
    sort.click();
    //using xpath to click on the search button
    WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id= 'main']/p/button[text()= 'Search']"));
    searchButton.click();
    //using xpath to get the first movie from the list
    //displaying the first movie from the list
    WebElement firstTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id = 'main']//h3/span[text()= '1.']/following-sibling::a"));
    String title = firstTitle.getText();
    System.out.println("1. " + title);
    //using xpath to get the second movie from the list
    //displaying the second movie from the list
    WebElement secondTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id = 'main']//h3/span[text()= '2.']/following-sibling::a"));
    String title2 = secondTitle.getText();
    System.out.println("2. " + title2);
    //using xpath to get the third movie from the list
    //displaying the third movie from the list
    WebElement thirdTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id = 'main']//h3/span[text()= '3.']/following-sibling::a"));
    String title3 = thirdTitle.getText();
    System.out.println("3. " + title3);
    //using xpath to get the fourth movie from the list
    //displaying the fourth movie from the list
    WebElement fourthTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id = 'main']//h3/span[text()= '4.']/following-sibling::a"));
    String title4 = fourthTitle.getText();
    System.out.println("4. " + title4);
    //using xpath to get the fifth movie from the list
    //displaying the fifth movie from the list
    WebElement fifthTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id = 'main']//h3/span[text()= '5.']/following-sibling::a"));
    String title5 = fifthTitle.getText();
    System.out.println("5. " + title5); 

}

While I know this was working previously, it has been shooting me this error:

You should try updating your chromedriver version. The version you are using (v2.23) is only specified for v51-53 and you are using Chrome 55. Try with the latest chromedriver v2.27
