Get error RuntimeException: The port 9515 is already in use

[Loctarogar]

This is my code: `require "vendor/autoload.php"; use Symfony\Component\Panther\Client;

$client = Client::createChromeClient(); $crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.marathonbet.ru/su/popular/Football'); `

And full error text:

Same here. In the meantime, i am killing each time the chrome instance with the following command kill $(lsof -i:9515) but it's a pain.

Is there a method to shut down the instance after usage?

Thank you

There is a close() method in the Client to close the window. Are you using it?

[florentroques]

Thank you for the tip! It put me on the right track

Looking at comments in the Webdriver class used in the background of the Symfony\Component\Panther\Client class, I found that quit is a better method to use than close for closing the window AND the session

    /**
     * Close the current window.
     *
     * @return WebDriver The current instance.
     */
    public function close();

    /**
     * Quits this driver, closing every associated window.
     */
    public function quit();

And then we can use try/catch/finally to make sure that the quit function is used as following:

$client = \Symfony\Component\Panther\Client::createChromeClient();

try {
	//code here
	//$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.example.com'); 
	//$client->clickLink('Log in');
} catch (Exception $e) {
	echo $e->getMessage();
} finally {
	$client->quit();
}

Teardown => quit() ?

I already used the quit method after every request but sometimes it suddenly gets errors and cannot quit.

I was able to solve my problem with this idea: https://jelledev.com/how-to-run-multiple-symfony-panther-clients-in-parallel/
