How to kill many geckodriver.exe processes?

I am using Windows 10 pro x64, Firefox 50.x, Java 8, Selenium 3.0.1

public RemoteWebDriver remoteWebDriver;

//...

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", browserWebDriverFilePath);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
remoteWebDriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
remoteWebDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
remoteWebDriver.manage().window().maximize();

//...

remoteWebDriver.quit();

enter image description here

Solution

  • Run this from Command line:

    taskkill /F /IM geckodriver.exe

    Or better of, put it in a batch file and run the file every time you want to clean up.

    You can also do it from your code if you want, before you start running:

    boolean isDebug = java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getInputArguments().toString().indexOf("-agentlib:jdwp") > 0;
try {
    if (isDebug)
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /IM geckodriver.exe");
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

    Only in debug to avoid killing instances on slave if you're running in parallel.
