Prevent automatically closing WebDriver at the end of navigation

[viktaur]

Is there an elegant way of keeping the driver open to allow for manual interaction after the automation? This is what I currently have, which doesn't seem ideal:

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> WebDriverResult<()> {
    // Initiate the chromedriver server.
    match TcpListener::bind(("127.0.0.1", PORT)) {
        // ...
    };

    sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;

    println!("Initiating WebDriver client");
    let caps = DesiredCapabilities::chrome();
    let driver = WebDriver::new(format!("http://localhost:{}", PORT), caps).await?;

    driver.goto("https://wikipedia.org").await?;

    // Automation happens here.

    loop { }

    // Manual user interaction happens here.

    Ok(())
}

You can wrap it in a ManuallyDrop, then call ManuallyDrop::into_inner at some point:

let driver = ManuallyDrop::new(WebDriver::new(/* ... */));

// `ManuallyDrop` impls `Deref<Target = T>`, so you can call methods like normal
driver.goto("https://example.org").await?;

// it won't close until you either do this or call `WebDriver::quit`
let _ = ManuallyDrop::into_inner(driver);

there is WebDriver::leak now exists in v0.36.0 and prevents auto drop
