Get PID of Browser launched by selenium

Question

I would like to get the PID of the browser launched by selenium. Is there any way to get it done?

Answer 1

Using the Python API, it's pretty simple:

from selenium import webdriver browser = webdriver.Firefox() print browser.binary.process.pid # browser.binary.process is a Popen object... 

If you're using Chrome, it's a little more complex, you go via a chromedriver process:

c = webdriver.Chrome() c.service.process # is a Popen instance for the chromedriver process import psutil p = psutil.Process(c.service.process.pid) print p.get_children(recursive=True) 

Answer 2

hwjp's solution isn't working anymore for me, but the solution from ABM is working for other browsers too in case anyone is wondering, so for firefox as of now:

from selenium import webdriver driver = webdriver.Firefox() print(driver.service.process.pid) 

can't comment because of reputation, so I'm submitting this as separate answer...
