Specifically, it says this at the checkout step: > Directory (/home/circleci/administrate) you are trying to checkout to > is not empty and not a git repository
The download of ChromeDriver leaves a file `LICENSE.chromedriver`, which breaks the checkout. Git fails with the following message: > Directory (/home/circleci/administrate) you are trying to checkout > to is not empty and not a git repository

CI started breaking on 11 Jan for no good reason. After some research, it appears that the step to download ChromeDriver now leaves an artefact in the working directory: a license file
LICENSE.chromedriver. When Git sees it, it refuses to checkout the code, as the target directory is neither empty nor a Git repository.To fix this, I have moved the checkout step to run first, before ChromeDriver is downloaded.
Note that the build will still fail due to the bundle audit. After this is merged, I should be able to merge the dependabot PRs and fix that.
