Browser Sessions tab

The Browser Sessions tab of the Manage screen (/manage?tab=browser-sessions) lists every browser session this Testver server is tracking and lets you close them.

The Browser Sessions tab lists every browser session this Testver server is tracking and lets you close them. The list refreshes automatically every few seconds; Refresh updates it on demand.

Sessions come from three sources, each with its own colored badge:

SourceBadgeWhat it is
ServerServer (brand)A server-side per-tab browser process — one per active AI Assistant tab using server-side mode. Shows start time, process id (pid), and tab count.
LocalLocal (green)A local browser connector running on someone’s own machine. Shows connect time, machine, OS, and tab count.
Test runTest run (amber)An active test execution (for example npx playwright test). Shows start time, framework, pid, and the running command.

The top card shows totals and, for admins, controls to widen the view:

ElementWhat it does
Show all users / Showing all usersAdmin toggle that switches between only your sessions and every user’s sessions.
RefreshReloads the session list immediately.
Summary statsTotals — total sessions, number of users (when more than one), server-side count, and idle count.

Each session shows its browser engine icon, source badge, browser type, owner (in all-users view), and an Idle indicator when inactive for over 5 minutes. The Close button opens a confirmation dialog describing exactly what will be torn down — and warns if active tabs are using it — before terminating that browser process.

When sessions exist, a Bulk close card offers scoped shutdowns. Closing is graceful: the backend waits up to 5 seconds for in-flight actions to settle. Each scope prompts for confirmation first.

Bulk actionWhat it does
My sessionsCloses every browser session you currently own. Available to all users.
All server sessions(Admin) Closes every server-side per-tab browser process to free server RAM; leaves local connectors and test runs alone.
Idle > 30m(Admin) Closes every session idle for more than 30 minutes; active sessions are unaffected.
All sessions(Admin) Closes every active session for every user, including local connectors and running tests. Use only during maintenance windows.
  • A browser window is stuck open after a run crashed — close its session here.
  • The server feels slow — check whether old sessions accumulated and close the ones you don’t need.
  • You want to confirm a run really finished — an entry with a Test run badge means the process is still alive.
