Printing out debug messages

[ronsig]

Sometimes I get an error that I'm having difficulty debugging, as it is timing related. The stack trace won't show me the point of failure in my test code.

E.g.

Is there a way to log out debug message? Retry failed tests? Recover from this specific error by refreshing stale elements (e.g. WebDriver)?

Thanks

Hello, this is I need to say a lack on selenium-webdriver side, many times this kind of errors can happen and it is hard to find out the right spot in source code.

Currently you can try to use change the logging level for webdriver by using extest binary parameter -l

-l, --log_level <level>                      # Log messages from webdriver with a given level (default: "Info")

you can pick one of possible options regarding to Selenium docs - JavaScript has 9 logger levels: OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, ALL.

then the logs from webdriver can be found in ../test-resources/test.log file which should be generated for each run of tests
