Fills out the form, but doesn't submit.

I get the following output:

you need to turn w3c mode off from webdriver. try change what was:

const selenium = require("selenium-webdriver");
const driver = new selenium.Builder().forBrowser("chrome").build();

into:

const selenium = require("selenium-webdriver");
const capabilities = {
    'browserName' : 'chrome',
    'chromeOptions': {
        'w3c': false
    }
};
const browser = new selenium.Builder().withCapabilities(capabilities).forBrowser("chrome");
const driver = browser.build();

good luck.
