When does this happen?

IF Manually starting and stopping one or more servers (e.g., backend + frontend) for end‑to‑end webapp tests leads to resource leaks and inconsistent test states.

How others solved it

THEN Use the bundled with_server.py script to manage server lifecycle. Pass each server command and port via --server flags; the script starts them, waits for readiness, runs your test script, and cleans up on exit.

python scripts/with_server.py --server "cd backend && python server.py" --port 3000 --server "cd frontend && npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py
