Selenium Chrome Driver Nightmare (nodejs) - selenium

Question

I'm trying to setup tests with NodeJS, Selenium & Jest. They work fine on my Mac but both a Windows and Linux install are failing with similar errors:
WITHOUT THE PATH EXPLICITLY SET
WebDriverError: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
at Object.throwDecodedError (node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/error.js:522:15)
at parseHttpResponse (node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/http.js:548:13)
at Executor.execute (node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/http.js:474:28)
WITH THE PATH EXPLICITLY SET
WebDriverError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited
abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/local/bin/chromedriver is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is
assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
FWIW on a linux machine running chromedriver directly I get this:
Starting ChromeDriver 98.0.4758.80
(7f0488e8ba0d8e019187c6325a16c29d9b7f4989-refs/branch-heads/4758#{#972})
on port 9515 Only local connections are allowed. Please see
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for
suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe. ChromeDriver was started
successfully.
Setting the path directly has not worked, using a globally installed (/usr/local/bin/chromedriver) binary and a local one node_modules/chromedriver/bin/chromedriver). None of the following options has made any difference:
.addArguments([
"--ignore-certificate-errors",
"--disable-extensions",
"--disable-popup-blocking",
"--enable-automation",
"--disable-dev-shm-usage",
"--no-sandbox",
"--headless",
"--log-path=/home/jsp/projects/proj/selenium/chrome.log",
"--append-log",
"--verbose",
"--enable-chrome-logs",
"--port=9222"
])
Enabling logging generated an empty chrome.log file. I tried simplifying and this is what I ended up with that again works on my Mac but not on the Linux test box.
const { Builder } = require("selenium-webdriver");
const chrome = require("selenium-webdriver/chrome");
let chromeTest = async () => {
let options = new chrome.Options()
.setChromeBinaryPath('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
.addArguments(["headless", "ignore-certificate-errors", "disable-dev-shm-usage", "no-sandbox"]);
let driver = await new Builder()
.forBrowser("chrome")
.setChromeOptions(options)
.build();
await driver.quit();
};
chromeTest();
Selenium: 4.1.1
ChromeDriver: 98.0.4758.80
Ubuntu 20.04.3
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
