Winappdriver: How to close the application under test & WinAppDriver after test case execution gets completed

[KiranBehara]

I am using below code after completion of my test case, it is getting called but the WAD & application is not getting closed.

// Close the application and delete the session
if (session != null)
{
session.Quit();
session = null;
}

[yodurr]

what type of application is it?

Try adding a session.Close(); before calling Quit();

Also, when you launch WinAppDriver you can pass /forcequit and see if that helps with closing the application at the end of the session.

Thanks session.Close() is working
Is it possible to close WinAppDriver automatically after test script run completes?

Am starting the WinAppDriver automatically from the test script in ClassInitialize(TestContext context) method by calling Process.Start("..........................\WinAppDriver.exe");

[KiranBehara]

Right now am closing it by calling the below line of code. Let me know if there are any other default methods available.
Array.ForEach(Process.GetProcessesByName("WinAppDriver"), x => x.Kill());

Create a bat file and then call that file in your script..

[rkunamneni19]

1. create a .bat file with filepath of winappdriver.exe..

   Start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\"Windows Application Driver"\WinAppDriver.exe

   save it as "yourfile.bat" file
   2.in your BeforeClass write below three lines code..
   Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
   String executablePath = "yourfile.bat";
   Process process = runTime.exec(executablePath);

This format works for me. WriteLine sends 'enter' to the console window to close it.

       var si = new ProcessStartInfo
        {
            FileName = pathtowinappdriver,
            RedirectStandardInput = true,            
        };

        var DriverProcess= Process.Start(si);

        //do testing

        DriverProcess.StandardInput.WriteLine("q");
        DriverProcess.WaitForExit();
