terminateApp() closes chromedriver connection

[studioromeo]

Hey!

When using terminateApp it seems to close the chromedriver connection and doesn't reconnect when using activateApp.

This means when using findElement after terminateApp the request fails with a 500 error unknown error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: disconnected: not connected to DevTools

This didn't happen with the deprecated closeApp method, I assume because the session was never destroyed.

I've created an example repo https://github.com/studioromeo/bug-webdriver-chromedriver which demonstrates the issue. It uses webdriver but the appium logs seem to suggest its at the driver level

Let me know if I can help further or where I should look to investigate a fix 👍

It was always working like that. You need to quit the driver and start a new session if you want to reproduce the legacy behaviour. Handling chromedriver restart together with app restart would be a new feature request (and I don't think might be picked up soon)
