Hi there,

A less polite option to kill the browser process.

 

note that Project.Variables.TestConfiguration_Browser = can be chrome, firefox, iexplore, etc

 

'LAGE''Close Specified Browser
Sub CloseSpecifiedBrowser
    'Close all open specified Browser Windows
    While Sys.WaitProcess(Project.Variables.TestConfiguration_Browser,2000).Exists
    Sys.Process(Project.Variables.TestConfiguration_Browser).Terminate
    WEND
End Sub

Call the function and forget abot configurations in all of the environments. Get a beer. Hope it helps
