How to address the error EGL Driver message (Error) eglQueryDeviceAttribEXT: Bad attribute using Selenium and Python

问题

I'm getting random error messages from selenium, even though none of them are related to the exact web driver commands I'm running (not that I know of).

This error isn't interrupting the program, it's just adding unwanted alerts (making my prints harder to read).

Chrome version: 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Python version: 3.6.1
ChromeDriver version: 75.0.3770.140

I've added the following code already but I'm still getting the error.

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

Error:

gl_surface_egl.cc(544) - EGL Driver message (Error) eglQueryDeviceAttribEXT: Bad attribute.

This random error message...

gl_surface_egl.cc(544) - EGL Driver message (Error) eglQueryDeviceAttribEXT: Bad attribute.

...is coming from the LogEGLDebugMessage() method as there was an error with one of the GL Switches

This error is defined in gl_surface_egl.cc as follows:

static void EGLAPIENTRY LogEGLDebugMessage(EGLenum error,
                       const char* command,
                       EGLint message_type,
                       EGLLabelKHR thread_label,
                       EGLLabelKHR object_label,
                       const char* message) {
  std::string formatted_message = std::string("EGL Driver message (") +
                  GetDebugMessageTypeString(message_type) +
                  ") " + command + ": " + message;

Deep Dive

As per the documentation in List of Chromium Command Line Switches the argument --use-gl selects which implementation of GL the GPU process should be used and the available options are:

desktop: whatever desktop OpenGL the user has installed (Linux and Mac default).
egl: whatever EGL / GLES2 the user has installed (Windows default - actually ANGLE).
swiftshader: The SwiftShader software renderer.

This DEBUG message is not harmful and you can continue with your tests.

Solution

If your usecase involves invoking click() or send_keys() method, you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() as follows:

Invoking click():

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "element_css"))).click()

Invoking send_keys():

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "element_xpath"))).send_keys("Joseph Jones")

Additional consideration

Possibly this error is caused by the app getting launched by ES2-only devices, even though the manifest requires ES3 capability. Updating EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE from EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT to EGL_OPENGL_ES3_BIT will solve this issue.
