How to manage multiple .js files so as to run automated test cases using their tags in CucumberJS?

Question

I am using CucumberJS with Selenium-Webdriver for automating my test cases. Currently I am having multiple feature files with their respective step-definition files. When I am trying to run the test cases then it is throwing an error:

Error: The previously configured ChromeDriver service is still running. You must shut it down before you may adjust its configuration. at Object.setDefaultService (D:\code\egov-test-cases\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\chrome.js:305:11) at new World (D:\code\egov-test-cases\features\support\world.js:21:12) at Object.

Since I am automating the tests, I have put the below code for automating chrome in world.js file, and then tried importing the driver from world.js, but still it is giving the same error.

 class World {
  constructor() {

    const { setDefaultTimeout } = require('cucumber');

    const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
    const chrome = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome');
    const path = require('chromedriver').path;

    const screen = {
      width: 640,
      height: 480
    };

    setDefaultTimeout(100 * 5000);

    var service = new chrome.ServiceBuilder(path).build();
    chrome.setDefaultService(service);

    this.driver = new webdriver.Builder().withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()).build();
  }
}

Are you killing the driver in the after hooks? If not I recommend you do and cleanup after each test — Ray

What you may need to do is kill your browser after each test run as the containers are reused(hence why a browser may already be running). To do this you will want to add a hooks file to your support folder and include something as follows

After({}, async function(scenario) {
  this.driver.quit();
  }
});

for more info take a look at the docs https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js/blob/master/docs/support_files/hooks.md
