Python selenium: DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1

Question

Today I got this message on the console when running selenium using the chromedriver. How do I suppress this?

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:12740/devt         


        

Answer 1

It might be due to chromedriver no longer supports chrome version installed on your machine. Update your Chromedriver to more up to date version.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, did a bit of digging and finally found a working solution. This should remove the DevTools message popping up:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='<path-to-chrome>', options=options)

As per the solution from this chromium issue.

Answer 3

Not sure if you are aware but try:

options.add_argument('--log-level=3')

Mind you I'm using headless, though I believe you could configure this for normal browser. It feels better :). I was amazed at how annoying that notification message was.

Answer 4

a workaround: :)

sys.stdout.write("\033[F") #back to previous line
sys.stdout.write("\033[K") #clear line
