How do I clean up orphaned Chrome processes after failed Selenium test runs?▼

You can clean up orphaned Chrome processes by running the 'cleanup-chrome' command, which identifies leftover Chrome and chromedriver instances from failed Selenium runs and terminates them to free up system resources.

Why does my system feel sluggish during Selenium test automation?▼

Your system feels sluggish during Selenium test automation because failed runs leave behind orphaned Chrome and chromedriver processes that exhaust system resources and degrade performance.

What is the best way to kill leftover chromedriver processes causing Connection reset errors?▼

The best way to kill leftover chromedriver processes causing Connection reset errors is to run the 'cleanup-chrome' command, which systematically terminates orphaned processes and reports the total number stopped.

Do I need any dependencies to remove orphaned Chrome and chromedriver processes?▼

No, you do not need any dependencies to remove orphaned Chrome and chromedriver processes, as this Skill operates independently and executes system commands directly to terminate leftover instances.

When should I run a cleanup for orphaned Chrome processes?▼

You should run a cleanup for orphaned Chrome processes when your Selenium tests mass-fail with TimeoutException or Connection reset errors, or when you notice system sluggishness during automated test runs.
