Question

I\'m getting the chrome didn\'t shut down correctly error message when I reopen a chrome browser in my selenium framework.

In the framework I\'m opening the browser

Answer 1

Did you set exit_type:Normal, I'm currently doing that before the test start, and or after the test ends and it Works. on C#

 public static void FixChromeSingleProfile(string dataDir)
    {
        FileStream fs = new FileStream(dataDir, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs);
        string json = sr.ReadToEnd();
        sr.Close();
        fs.Close();
        dynamic jsonDe = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
        if (jsonDe.profile.exit_type != "Normal")
        {
            jsonDe.profile.exit_type = "Normal";
            string r = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jsonDe);

            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(dataDir, false);
            sw.Write(r);
            sw.Close();
        }
    }

This solution is in Python and works 100% but you should be able to implement this in Java as well. I just call the close_windows function every time I am finished using Selenium.

def close_windows():

    windows = driver.window_handles

    for w in windows:
        driver.switch_to.window(w)
        driver.close()

    driver.quit()

close_windows()

As per your code it would be tough to analyze the reason behind the error chrome didn't shut down correctly without knowing your framework structure. Perhaps a more details about how code block was invoked (i.e. main() or TestNG) would have helped us.

Having said that there still seems some more factors to look at as follows :

• If you are using an existing Chrome Profile through user-data-dir ideally you should avoid the switches setExperimentalOption and addArguments for customization as those should be set within the respective Chrome Profile.

• As you are using an existing Chrome Profile through user-data-dir as per the documentation ChromeDriver - WebDriver for Chrome the path should point the profile directory as follows :

  options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:/Users/xw20/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 2")

• Avoid using driver.close(); and always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

• Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u162.
• Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.11.0.
• Upgrade ChromeDriver to current ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
• Upgrade Chrome version to current Chrome v65.x levels.
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
• Execute your @Test.
