[🐛 Bug]: chromedriver service is not killed

What happened?

Even after calling driver.quit. Not able to start chrome driver on the same port. Server is not getting killed and the port is not released.

How can we reproduce the issue?

const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
const chrome = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome');
const BROWSER_NAME = webdriver.Browser.CHROME;

async function getDriver() {
  let service = new chrome.ServiceBuilder(require('chromedriver').path).setPort(9515);

  service.setStdio(['pipe', process.stdout, process.stderr]);

  return new webdriver.Builder()
    .setChromeService(service)
    .forBrowser(BROWSER_NAME)
    .build();
}

async function runTestWithCaps() {
  for (i = 0; i <= 5; i++) {
    try {
      driver = await getDriver();
      await driver.get("http://www.google.com");
      await driver.quit();
    } catch(err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
  }
}

runTestWithCaps();

@praveendvd yes will do that

[gravityvi]

@praveendvd the issue is only happening with chrome service and I think it’s due to this line: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/4ad053312fdcc63fd0052a1a9611e999fa4e60c7/javascript/node/selenium-webdriver/chrome.js#L276-L281 It returns defaultService if it has been already created once.
