[FIXED] UnreachableBrowserException

Issue

Using Eclipse and Selenium Webdriver

Im using this @AfterMethod to close my browser after each test.

@AfterMethod
public void closeBrowser(ITestResult result) {
    result.getMethod().getMethodName();
    endTest(testName);
    getDriver().getCurrentUrl();

    getDriver().quit(); // Close browser before each new test
}

However I get this message for both Chrome and IE

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died. Build info: version: '2.48.1', revision: 'd80083d', time: '2015-10-08 21:07:25'

I have closed out the old processes in the task manager as well and cleaned my output folder and I keep getting this error. Please help!

Solution

Try this to close the windows:

getDriver.close();

Furthermore for your second question, you can try to kill the background instances like:

try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /IM IEDriverServer.exe");
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
