Is it possible to get session_id of active driver opened with Selenium and Appium if several drivers were activated?

Question

While automating I open several browsers, say Firefox, with

driver1 = webdriver.Firefox()
driver2 = webdriver.Firefox()
driver3 = webdriver.Firefox()
.....

Is there a way to get the session_id and webdriver itself of the active Browser? The same question for Appium. Is it possible to get session_id and driver itself of the active device (virtual or real)?

Answer 1

To get the driver session id with Selenium / Java:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

SessionId session = ((FirefoxDriver)driver).getSessionId();
System.out.println("Session id: " + session.toString());

To get the remote driver session id with Selenium / Java:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4722/wd/hub"), capabilities);

SessionId session = ((RemoteWebDriver)driver).getSessionId();
System.out.println("Session id: " + session.toString());

Answer 2

((ChromeDriver)driver).sessionId();
