Chrome driver does not exit after capybara test

Question

I use capybara 2.1.0 with selenium webdriver by default, minitest and test::unit , and for some tests that need access to the .hover method, I use the Chrome web browser

At the end of almost every test that needs chrome, I have an empty chrome window that I have to close manually to finish my test.

Here is part of my test assistant:

 def use_chrome_driver Capybara.register_driver :selenium_chrome do |app| Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome) end Capybara.current_driver = :selenium_chrome end def setup DatabaseCleaner.start Capybara.current_driver = :selenium end def teardown Capybara.reset_session! Capybara.use_default_driver DatabaseCleaner.clean end 

The configuration method is overwritten by use_chrome_driver , called at the beginning of the chrome tests. ie:

 def test_example use_chrome_driver ... end 

This test_example will never be completed unless I manually close the Chrome browser. When I manually exit it, the test completes and passes without errors.

So why doesn't this Chrome browser window close automatically every time? (Sometimes it automatically closes ~ 15%!)

This seems to be a recent issue: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/1035#issuecomment-24301966
