I have googled for the answer, but the .stop() so frequently mentioned doesn't work for me. The Chrome window the test was running in remains open.
def test_getResults(self):
sel = selenium('localhost', 4444, "*chrome", 'http://blackpearl/')
sel.start()
# do stuff
def tearDown(self):
sel = selenium('localhost', 4444, "*chrome", 'http://blackpearl/')
sel.close()
sel.stop()
Any ideas? I'm using Selenium Server 2.8.0 with Python 2.6 and mostly using Chrome 14 windows to test.

You're actually creating a second Selenium close browser session in your tearDown() function. You need to put the session created in setUp() into an instance variable, then close that session in tearDown().
class TestFoo(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.selenium = selenium('localhost', 4444, "*chrome", 'http://blackpearl/')
self.selenium.start()
def tearDown(self):
self.selenium.stop()
def test_bar(self):
self.selenium.open("/somepage")
#and so forth
