This is code being run in tests for a django application. The tests used to run fine, now the last 4 tests (which use selenium) have errors, which started after I added driver.quit() after each test.
It's weird though. Here is the relevant code that runs which each (of the last four) tests:
options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options)
driver.get('https://dev.taracares.com/pr-run-ppe?group=MS%2FTN%2FLA&check_date=05%2F01%2F2022')
# some selenium code
driver.quit()
What is going on?
A line such as driver.quit() should be saved for a tearDown() method, etc. That way it still gets called if a test ends/fails early, and it doesn't get called too soon when you might still need the driver, such as when calling .text(), which requires the driver to still be open.
Lots of existing frameworks for Python already have a tearDown() section where you can put driver.quit() (eg. classes that inherit unittest.TestCase), or it can be part of a pytest fixture, (eg. pytest_runtest_teardown). Some frameworks that combine Python/Selenium will automatically close the driver for you at the end of the test (eg. SeleniumBase), saving you that step.
