martin-ober opened a new issue, #288:
URL: https://github.com/apache/groovy-geb/issues/288
I use gebish, cucumber, and webdrivermanager for my e2e tests.
My tests contain several hundred scenarios, and there are technical
requirements for the test cases that I need a “fresh” browser.
For this scenario I use `CachingDriverFactory.clearCacheAndQuitDriver()`
And there is obviously a different behavior in geb 8.0.0.
I did a random sample with a few selected tests and checked after each
scenario how many processes there were for the WebDriver and the browser.
Therfore i use
`ps -A -o pid,rss,comm | grep -i 'Google Chrome' | grep -v grep` for the
browser processes
and
`ps -A -o pid,rss,comm | grep -i './cache/selenium' | grep -v grep` for the
WebDriver processes
With geb 7: everything runs as expected and after each browser restart there
is only one browser and WebDriver process.
With geb 8: every created browser and driver process is still remaing also
after calling `CachingDriverFactory.clearCacheAndQuitDriver()`
```
