Open_Browser keyword raises exception and webdriver not being disposed #304
Description
Running robotframework-selenium2library on Windows 2008, I was getting timeout in the browser.get(url) below when invoking chromedriver.exe. Suggest wrapping the call with try catch browser.quit() invocation.
_browsermanagement.py
def open_browser(self, url, browser='firefox', alias=None,remote_url=False,
desired_capabilities=None,ff_profile_dir=None):
"""
"""
..................
try:
browser.get(url)
self._debug('Opened browser with session id %s'
% browser.session_id)
return self._cache.register(browser, alias)
except:
print 'BrowserManagement: exception. Could not load the page. Browser and service will be stopped...'
browser.quit()
raise RuntimeError("BrowserManagement: exception. Could not load the page.")

Excellent... I was having an issue where the chromedriver process was not being unloaded and remained orphaned at the end of a test. I think this could have possibly been the root cause. I'll make this change locally and will see if it makes a difference.

Thank you for reporting this. Closing as duplicate of #70, which was fixed in PR #263 for 1.6.
