Python selenium: DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1

Today I got this message on the console when running selenium using the chromedriver. How do I suppress this?

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:12740/devtools/browser/97101fe4-3b1f-42b0-b5c8-373cc18040b6

Relevant code:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='c:/bin/chromedriver233')

I get the same message using version 2.30 of chromedriver.

I have not previously received this message. The only change I've made is updating chrome to Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Python 3.6.3 64, selenium 3.4.3, Windows 7 64.

EDIT: I posted a question to the Chrome product forum at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/Dlk2j_JpmxE;context-place=forum/chrome

I had the same issue, did a bit of digging and finally found a working solution. This should remove the DevTools message popping up:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='<path-to-chrome>', options=options)

As per the solution from this chromium issue.

Not sure if you are aware but try:

options.add_argument('--log-level=3')

Mind you I'm using headless, though I believe you could configure this for normal browser. It feels better :). I was amazed at how annoying that notification message was.

It might be due to chromedriver no longer supports chrome version installed on your machine. Update your Chromedriver to more up to date version.

a workaround: :)

sys.stdout.write("\033[F") #back to previous line
sys.stdout.write("\033[K") #clear line
