Question

Simple question: how to completely disable logging when using Selenium from Python bindings, ex code as follows:

browser = webdriver.Chrome()

I’ve tried things like:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions();
options.add_argument('--log-level 3') 
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

or even:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions();
options.add_argument('--disable-logging') 
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

but still the file ‘chromedriver.log’ is appearing on each new run of the tests.

Answer 1

The source code of Chrome’s webdriver, shows the existence of an option called service_log_path.

So if you want to get rid of the file, you could set this property to

• /dev/null if you are running under Linux/Unix ;
• NUL under windows

Hope it helps
