Login and logout with different user credentials

Hi experts,

Using;
Selenium, Chrome Browser, C#, nUnit:

My scenario is ::
1. I need to login to my application ( chrome browser), process Test Case.
2. Logout, close browser window
3. Open new chrome window.
4. Re-launch the browser with the same URL
5. Login again with different user6. process test cases
6. Logout.

What I am doing:
When I close browser and launched new URL and tries to login with different credentials I get the below error:

Problem:
Getting this exception:
"invalid session id\n (Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64)"

Please help.

check the url you're opening initially. it may contain session info if it was bookmarked/copied when logged in with the first user.

Thanks steve, I have checked that and URL appears to me normal, I have hardcoded that for the time being indeed which is same.

As Steve suggests, session info is somehow following you.

Glancing at the docs (I only took a few minutes) I'm missing how the default cookie file is handled.

My guess is you're defaulting to use some common cookie file, rather than creating a new/random/unique cookie file for each session.

Try creating a /tmp cookie file made up of procname + pid + username + 16byte random alphanumeric string, then destroy this file when you exit.

This should at least fix any carry over session problems.
