We call the following at the end of every IE test case.

function closeIEInstance() {
    var counter = 0;
    var browser;
    browser = Sys.WaitBrowser('iexplore', 1000);
    while((browser.Exists) && (counter < 60)){
        counter++;
        browser.Terminate();
        browser = Sys.WaitBrowser('iexplore', 1000);
    }  
}

How would i go about implementing that command? Bearing in mind i'm keyword testing, not writing the tests myself.

    1) Create a script unit

    2) Add that code to the script unit

    3) call "Run Script Routine" operation within your keyword test to run that code.

      Hi,

       

      Here is our implementation in python:

       

      def kill_redundant_browser_process(process_name):
    Sys.Refresh()
    if Sys.WaitProcess('{}'.format(process_name), 1000).Exists:
        Sys.Browser(process_name).Close()
        Sys.Refresh()
        if Sys.WaitProcess('{}'.format(process_name)).Exists:
           Sys.WaitProcess('{}'.format(process_name)).Terminate()
        Log.Message("The redundant '{}' process was killed".format(process_name))
