Webdriver - Kill IE process.

Webdriver - Kill IE process

I am working on Webdriver pageobjects, if test case get failed, system will not close the browser because it has not reached the statement driver.close.
There are lot of opened IE's at the end of test execution.
To overcome this issue, I have created following utility program that is called before every test execution to eliminate any opened IE's.

public void xKillIEs() throws Exception

{

final String KILL = "taskkill /IM ";

String processName = "iexplore.exe"; //IE process

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(KILL + processName);

Wait(3000); //Allow OS to kill the process

}

Later I am know that this is not a good idea.
Better implement the following


InternetExplorerDriver driver;

@BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true)
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
}

@AfterClass(alwaysRun = true)
protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
xKillIEs();
}
