using the same webdriver for 2 tests in row

I'm trying to run a few test in row using the same WebDriver instance. After each test I'm executing: driver.close(); First test passed but for second I received an error when try to call driver.get(URL) :

org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException: no such session

There is a similar problem Using same Webdriver 2 times but it hasn't been solved.

You cannot use same WebDriver for 2 tests in row, if you close the driver using driver.close(), the reason being simple that it will quit the browser if it is the last window open as can be found in its documentation.

Close the current window, quitting the browser if it's the last window currently open.

You cannot use driver after quit.

Your browser has been closed . So you have to start the browser again .

You can do following things.

driver = new FirfoxDriver();
driver.get(url);

It's generally recommended not to share state like the browser and other objects between test cases - this stops you from having dependencies where one test relies on another, and you wont be sure what state each test leaves your browser in.

It would be best practice to initialize the driver instance, and close it, in the corresponding Before and After test methods which require an instance of WebDriver.

Driver.Close() will close the currently open window, quitting the browser if it is the last window open.
