Set Chrome Options With Remote Driver

So there's a nice long list of switches that can be passed to the chromedriver. I would like to use some of them, specifically --disable-logging. I do no want to (only) use chromed

Solution 1:

This should give you the flags available:

from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# set some options
# for example:
# options.add_argument('--disable-logging')
driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=options.to_capabilities())

Solution 2:

Just my two cents on this since the selenium remote and chrome webdrivers changed.

import os
from selenium import webdriver


class RemoteBrowser:

    chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    chrome_options.add_argument('whitelisted-ips')
    chrome_options.add_argument('headless')
    chrome_options.add_argument('no-sandbox')
    chrome_options.add_argument('window-size=1200x800')

    def __init__(self):
        self.hub_url = os.environ['HUB_URL']
        self.driver = webdriver.Remote(
            command_executor='http://' + self.hub_url + '/wd/hub',
            desired_capabilities = {'browserName': 'chrome'},
            options=self.chrome_options
        )

Solution 3:

From the source code it looks like the only way this would be possible is to pass it through desired_capabilities. This dictionary is sent directly to the remove driver via a POST request.

After looking at how to start chromium with specific flags, maybe something like this would work:

desired_capabilities = {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'chrome.switches': ['--disable-logging']
}

Solution 4:

ChromeOptions() that works for passing additional arguments. try this to disable chromedriver.log

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service_log_path='/dev/null')
