There are other active WebDriver sessions open at the time the command is sent. Browsers may return this error before continuing to close.

Examples

Closing the browser

With a WebDriver BiDi connection and an active session, send the following message to close the browser:

{
  "id": 1,
  "method": "browser.close",
  "params": {}
}

Before closing, the browser responds successfully as shown here:

{
  "id": 1,
  "type": "success",
  "result": {}
}

After the response, the WebSocket connection closes as the browser shuts down.
