Selenium not deleting profiles created under Temp folder on CentOS

Question

I am running my Selenium test on CentOS for some time now and lately I encountered a lot of stability issues and crashes for my test runs. I went on to find that Selenium browser profiles created under the temp folder were never getting deleted. I manually deleted all temp files and now the system seems stable. Is there a check I can put in place to handle this and ensure temp files are deleted once the browser instance is terminated by driver.quit() ?

Answer 1

You could delete all cookies before quitting the driver. That should do it.

driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

That's all you could do for wiping data before quitting the driver.

Answer 2

I did not find a permanent fix for this but here is a workaround I implemented to clean the temp directories created by my browser(chrome)

#!/bin/bash

#file that has a list of all server IPs that need the temp folder cleaned
server_lists=/etc/server_lists

#command to clean temp with chromium directories created prior to 30 minutes
cmd='echo "Clean temp"; find  /tmp/ -maxdepth 1  -mmin +30 -iname ".org.chromium*" -type d  -exec rm -rf "{}" \; && echo Done'

for ip in $( < $server_lists )
do

   ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $ip "$cmd" 

done

I run this shell script every 30 minutes to check and clean all temp directories created by my browser
