[FIXED] Selenium opens multiple chromedrivers and wont close them

Issue

I started using headless chrome for jenkins integration and changed the code in my base file. but now when i run a test I see multiple chromedrivers are started and the driver doesn't close when the last test is finished.

I didn't have this problem before switching to headless mode.

Here is my TestBase class TestBase.class

And here is the problem. After all these new chromedrivers the test runs successfully, but a lot of chromedriver accumulates in the background. problem

I tried to use driver.close and driver.quit functions in the test's @After method but it didn't work like old times too. After using headless mode, I can't close them because as you can see there are multiple chromedrivers in the background.

Solution

If you want to obtain control over the service itself you need to use DriverService object. The example:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions() // Your options here
ChromeDriverService service = ChromeDriverService
    .createServiceWithConfig(options);
service.start();

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(service);

// Do your test here

driver.quit(); // close session
service.stop(); // stop service
