webdriver is not deleting the folder named scoped_* at the end of the execution with Edge Browser

[RohanM]

Hello Team,

I am using webdriver with Edge browser, whenever script starts it will create temp file in the Temp folder(scoped_dir*), but once its shootdowns it will not delete those file automatically, its keep on creating and unnecessarily utilizing the HDD space. 

I am calling this function at the end of the script 

Func End_Browser()
    _WD_DeleteSession($Session)
    _WD_Shutdown($PID)
EndFunc   ;==>End_Browser

capabilities 

Func SetupEdge()
    _WD_Option('driver', "C:\Script_Resources\msedgedriver.exe")
    _WD_Option('port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('driverclose', True)
    _WD_Option('driverparams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @LocalAppDataDir & '\msedge.log"')
    $Desired_Capabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "' & _
            StringReplace(@ProgramFilesDir, "\", "/") & '/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe", "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false}}}}'
EndFunc   ;==>SetupEdge

Is the outcome the same if you call _WD_Shutdown without the optional parameter?

_WD_Shutdown()

Hello @Danp2

yes without any parameter I tried, still the same result, 

these are the file that keep on creating.

@RohanMThis appears to be a timing issue where the webdriver console is closed via ProcessClose() before it has completed its cleanup process. I will open an issue on Github so that this can be reviewed / improved. In the mean time, you should be able to work around the issue by adding a call to Sleep() before _WD_Shutdown().

@Danp2

yes, your suggestion worked, I added Sleep before _WD_Shutdown(). thank you @Danp2 

_WD_DeleteSession($Session)
  Sleep(8000)
_WD_Shutdown()
