In Appium, what is the technical difference between the driver.terminate_app(bundleId) and driver.close_app() methods?
driver.terminate_app(bundleId)->
Terminates an existing application on the device. If the application is not running then the returned result will be false, otherwise true.
Supported arguments
bundleId: The bundle identifier of the application, which is going to be terminated. Mandatory argument.
Where driver.close_app() is actually used to end the session of the driver with the app. It is mostly written in the @AfterTest method that means after the executions of all of your tests the instance of the driver should be safely closed.
See the below code for driver.close()
public class Github1298Test {
@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
//initiate your driver instance
//give all capabilities
}
@Test
public void tearDown() {
driver.close_app();
}
}
