Python Selenium Safari, disable logging

Question

I recently posted this as a possible answer to the question How to use Selenium Safari Webdriver . The problem with my answer is that the entry from the jar file appears in the terminal when the python script runs, and I would like to disable it. Can this be done via python?

Using Python 2.7.5 and the selenium module python (2.41.0) on Mac OSX.

This example opens the Safari browser and my bids:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- print ''' Python Selenium Safari Example ''' from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys import os # path to selenium server standalone jar, downloaded here: # http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/ # or a direct url: # http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.41/selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar os.environ["SELENIUM_SERVER_JAR"] = "selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar" # note: I've put this jar file in the same folder as this python file browser = webdriver.Safari() # makes the browser wait if it can't find an element browser.implicitly_wait(10) browser.get("http://google.com/") search_input = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("#gbqfq") search_input.send_keys("python SELENIUM_SERVER_JAR turn logging off") search_input.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) raw_input("Press Enter to close...") browser.quit() 

but here is what appears in the terminal when I run it:

when the only thing I want to show is:

How to stop the appearance of selenium logs in the terminal?

Answer 1

It looks like from Safari webdriver.py you can pass the quiet boolean argument passed to the service object in service.py and all stdout and stderr will go to / dev / null

 kwargs = dict() if self.quiet: devnull_out = open(devnull, 'w') kwargs.update(stdout=devnull_out, stderr=devnull_out) 

From your code above just change this:

 browser = webdriver.Safari() 

:

 browser = webdriver.Safari(quiet=True) 

Answer 2

I use -D to pass the VM argument and write deblenium Selenium to a new file.

eg. java -jar -Dselenium.LOGGER=log.txt selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar

Answer 3

I found the answer in the Selenium user forums for the Java driver:

  if (driver instanceof RemoteWebDriver) { ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).setLogLevel(Level.WARNING); } 

Using these commands immediately after creating the driver object, I solved the problem of verbosity of the log. Perhaps you can adapt it for Python.
