CDP connection not getting reset across session when using Selenium.

[garg3133]

Description of the bug/issue

When we run Nightwatch tests using Selenium, the CDP connection is not reset across different test suites, while it resets correctly when running tests with webdrivers directly.

This leads to the following error when using .registerBasicAuth() command:

Error   Error while running .registerAuth() protocol action: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'on') - /node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/webdriver.js:1356:24)

Steps to reproduce

• Pick any two example tests and add the following test case to it:

  it('checking cdp connection', function (browser) {
     browser
       .registerBasicAuth('admin', 'admin')
       .navigateTo('https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth')
       .pause(5000);
  });

• Run them using selenium. (The second test will throw the above mentioned error.)
• Run them using webdrivers directly. (Tests will run fine.)

Also, if we use .registerBasicAuth() in two different test cases (with different credentials) in the same test suite, the credentials passed to the second call will never get registered.

This can be solved by creating a new CDP connection everytime we call .registerBasicAuth().
