because ways to hijack the session from children seem to no-longer work, you are stuck with having to manually kill chrome and the webdriver and all its children using psutils, until they put sessions hijacking into the webdrivers.
import time import multiprocessing from selenium import webdriver import psutil def start_thread(url): driver = webdriver.Chrome() driver.get(url) time.sleep(30) def get_all_children(proc: psutil.Process): try: if len(proc.children()) == 0: return [] else: returned_list = [] for item in proc.children(): returned_list.append(item) returned_list.extend(get_all_children(item)) return returned_list except psutil.NoSuchProcess: return [] if __name__ == "__main__": urls = ['http://www.python.org','http://www.python.org'] threads = [] for counter in range(len(urls)): thread = multiprocessing.Process(target=start_thread, name=f'start_thread_{counter}', args=(urls[counter],)) threads.append(thread) thread.start() time.sleep(5) for t in threads: children = get_all_children(psutil.Process(pid=t.pid)) t.terminate() for child in children: try: child.terminate() except psutil.NoSuchProcess: pass # in case child was already dead time.sleep(5) # to see what's happening
searching for children this way is somewhat necessary because chrome tends to open a lot of children, althought it might be limited to only 2 children on windows, this is may not be the case for other systems.
