selenium no such session excpetion: session does not exist in IEDriverServer

Question

I have a few selenium tests on a react application. All tests are passing for chrome and firefox without any error. However, in IE (internet explorer v11) - all tests pass, but fails at the tearDown method: -

teardown method: -

@AfterClass
public void tearDown(){
        driver.close();
        //driver.quit();
}

screenshot of TestNG error log: -

Browser Base Class: -

Session ID: <id>

What I've tried: -

initializing WebDriver driver = null in browser case class
Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Disabled "protected zone" for all four zones
ieCapabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true); this is an alias for INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS
if(driver != null) { driver.close(); }

I've tried all these which were mentioned in other stack overflow questions, however, I end up with the same error.

Do let me know if any more info. regarding the code is required.

EDIT:

I've noticed that my instance to the new InternetExplorerDriver has been striked through

driver = new ~~InternetExplorerDriver~~ (ieCapabilities);

This was striked, as DesiredCapabilities have been deprecated.

Before: -

DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);

Now: -

InternetExplorerOptions IEoptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
IEoptions.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(IEoptions);

This fixed the striked-through.

When I run the IE set of tests individually i.e. without chrome, firefox & edge tests. I can see all the tests passing & no error at teardown method. I am Unable to figure out the reason!

Try to put driver.close(); in Try block instead of catch block and try to check whether it works or not. Also try to inform the actual error returned by the code. It can give more idea about the issue. — Deepak-MSFT, Oct 30 '19 at 09:08
I am calling driver.close() only for an exception. @Deepak-MSFT I've added console log for more error details — Manny, Oct 30 '19 at 09:29
NoSuchSessionExpection happens when you try to perform actions after quitting the session. Ref: https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/NoSuchSessionException.html Try to reinitialize the driver object before quitting it may help to solve the error. — Deepak-MSFT, Oct 30 '19 at 09:52
@Deepak-MSFT Wouldn't adding a check of driver != null the same? As, mentioned in my question ~ I've already added that check. Also, please check the EDIT part above in my question - I'm not sure why my instance to InternetExplorerDriver has been striked through.. could this be the one of the reason? — Manny, Oct 30 '19 at 10:06
That strike through line can be the reason for this error. Try to check whether object has proper driver assigned. try to put any other line of code after assigning the driver to verify that. It may help to narrow down the issue. — Deepak-MSFT, Oct 30 '19 at 10:18
@Deepak-MSFT I added a print statement for driver object - **driver = InternetExplorerDriver: internet explorer on WINDOWS (37c112b4-a132-4a7a-a072-bf230fe4a684)Before navigating to: 'http://localhost:3000/'** Seems like it was assigned correctly. — Manny, Oct 31 '19 at 03:35
