Capturing browser logs with Selenium WebDriver using Java
Solution 1:
I assume it is something in the lines of:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogEntries;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogEntry;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogType;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LoggingPreferences;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class ChromeConsoleLogging {
private WebDriver driver;
@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "c:\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
LoggingPreferences logPrefs = new LoggingPreferences();
logPrefs.enable(LogType.BROWSER, Level.ALL);
caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.LOGGING_PREFS, logPrefs);
driver = new ChromeDriver(caps);
}
@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
public void analyzeLog() {
LogEntries logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get(LogType.BROWSER);
for (LogEntry entry : logEntries) {
System.out.println(new Date(entry.getTimestamp()) + " " + entry.getLevel() + " " + entry.getMessage());
//do something useful with the data
}
}
@Test
public void testMethod() {
driver.get("http://mypage.com");
//do something on page
analyzeLog();
}
}
Source : Get chrome's console log
Solution 2:
In a more concise way, you can do:
LogEntries logs = driver.manage().logs().get(LogType.BROWSER);
For me it worked wonderfully for catching JS errors in console. Then you can add some verification for its size. For example, if it is > 0, add some error output.
Solution 3:
As a non-java selenium user, here is the python equivalent to Margus's answer:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
class ChromeConsoleLogging(object):
def __init__(self, ):
self.driver = None
def setUp(self, ):
desired = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
desired ['loggingPrefs'] = { 'browser':'ALL' }
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=desired)
def analyzeLog(self, ):
data = self.driver.get_log('browser')
print(data)
def testMethod(self, ):
self.setUp()
self.driver.get("http://mypage.com")
self.analyzeLog()
Reference
Edit: Keeping Python answer in this thread because it is very similar to the Java answer and this post is returned on a Google search for the similar Python question
Solution 4:
A less elegant solution is taking the log 'manually' from the user data dir:
-
Set the user data dir to a fixed place:
options = new ChromeOptions(); capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); options.addArguments("user-data-dir=/your_path/"); capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
Get the text from the log file chrome_debug.log located in the path you've entered above.
I use this method since RemoteWebDriver
had problems getting the console logs remotely. If you run your test locally that can be easy to retrieve.
Solution 5:
Adding LoggingPreferences to "goog:loggingPrefs" properties with the Chrome Driver options can help to fetch the Browser console logs for all Log levels.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
LoggingPreferences logPrefs = new LoggingPreferences();
logPrefs.enable(LogType.BROWSER, Level.ALL);
options.setCapability("goog:loggingPrefs", logPrefs);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
