After hook is NOT working and browser does NOT close when more than 1 Feature sections exists in test file

[michalorlinski]

What are you trying to achieve?

When there are more than 1 Feature sections in the test file:

• the browser/page does NOT close after each test, so at the end I have many browsers opened, which slowing down my system.
• the After and AfterSuite hooks are NOT working at all (are NOT called).

Tests behave (passed/failed) normally and the next test is conducted on newly opened browser, but After and AfterSuite hooks are NOT even called after test(s). Additional hooks / teardown implemented in the codecept.conf do NOT help. Any suggestion?

What do you get instead?

Tests behave (passed/failed) normally and the next test is conducted on newly opened browser, but After and AfterSuite hooks are NOT even called after test(s). Additional hooks / teardown implemented in the codecept.conf do NOT help, so at the end I have many browsers/threads opened, which slowing down my system.
