Fix WebSocketException

in Selenium

Solution

"WebSocketException" in Selenium often arises from premature closure of the WebSocket connection between the browser and the driver, especially when the browser exits unexpectedly or the driver attempts to communicate after the browser is gone. To fix this, ensure proper browser and driver lifecycle management using `driver.Quit()` to close the browser and release resources explicitly, and implement robust error handling with retry logic to gracefully manage potential connection drops. You might also consider increasing WebSocket timeout settings if idle connections are frequently an issue.
