Browser is closed only if test passed

Question

I used driver.Quit(); in TeardownTest method. But the browser is closed only if the test passed. If a test failed, the browser is still open. Why browser is not closed in this case?

We have Microsoft Visual team services builds, Visual Studio Test Agent is deployed to virtual machine. On the virtual machine is installed MS Agent for Visual studio 2015 Update 3. This problem, with closing the browser, happens only on virtual machine. If I run tests from Visual Studio on local machine, browser is closed if test passed or failed, in this case it works.

Answer 1

If you are catching any exceptions, call driver.quit() within those catch blocks to close the browser when a test fails. If there is a common point that all failing tests run through, I would put driver.quit() there instead of every catch block(ie. a reporting or logging method).

Answer 2

We too faced the similar issue and a quick search on internet lead me here.

Then I examined the detailed log and found out that a report saving activity was throwing an exception in the [TearDown] and hence the driver.Quit(); statement wasn't invoked.

It was referring a folder which wasn't there in the build system where as it is there in development environment!

So as a few people mentioned above, the issue is the exception but it seems it could come in different ways!

I wonder is it a good practice to save the report in TearDown action!

 [TearDown]
        public void RunAfterEveryTest()
        {

            driver.Quit();
        }

Seems to be you are using NUnit, So please check the code you have for the trardown is same as the above code.

Or please share the code ..
