I have one scenario to automate :

Verify login with valid input

Problem Statement : Whenever I run script in IE for second time, Found all previous session are stored as it is . (Not found this same situation in Chrome and in Firefox)

My configuration :

  • Windows 10
  • Selenium 3.4.0
  • IE 11

Code :

DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, url);
cap.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", false);
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
cap.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.REQUIRE_WINDOW_FOCUS, true);
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.ENABLE_PERSISTENT_HOVERING, false);
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.ELEMENT_SCROLL_BEHAVIOR, 1);
cap.setCapability("cssSelectorsEnabled", true);
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.NATIVE_EVENTS, false);

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);

I want to clear all the history which is given in this picture with Selenium Webdriver + IE just before starting script.

Note : If is there any other way to avoid it please let me know.

  • @NarendraC Actually whenever I open new IE browser for same script. It take all history from previous browser even after quite. So I am require to kill sessions if possible.

  • Manually check - If you have opted "start from where you left". Disable that, It will work as per your requirment

Have you tried setting EnsureCleanSession to true?

DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IE_ENSURE_CLEAN_SESSION, true);

OR

cap.setCapability("ie.ensureCleanSession", true);

When set to true, this capability clears the cache, cookies, history, and saved form data. When using this capability, be aware that this clears the cache for all running instances of Internet Explorer, including those started manually. quoted from SeleniumHQ
