Need to know how phantomjs execution is stopped

0 votes

I started and closed phantomjs in Python using:

from selenium import webdriver    
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get(url)
html_doc = driver.page_source
driver.close()

But inspite of that, there is an instance of phantomjs in my MAC Activity Monitor. And everytime, I run the script, a new phantomjs process is created.
How do I close the instance of the driver?

Actually, the .close() method is not the best way to release all resources associated with a driver instance. You can rather use .quit() method to free all resources of a driver, including exiting the executable process.
