Support for Selenium’s logging interface

[graingert]

The logging interface supported by Selenium FirefoxDriver isn’t available in Marionette.

I'd like support for the client.log('browser') call.

This isn't in the W3C spec at this time, so we are delaying support until the behaviour is well specified. But your request is noted.

[graingert]

Ah I see, is there any way to follow the development of the spec (mailing
list github etc)?

github.com/w3c/webdriver or the public-browser-tools-testing@w3.org
mailing list.

Here's the specific issue: w3c/webdriver#406

I'm looking forward to this feature too.

I don't suppose that there is some temporary alternative we can use? Verifying that there are no JS errors in our automated tests is a very nice feature.

[lucaspiller]

@shepmaster I've been looking at this today, as we also want to verify that no JS errors are thrown.

My solution probably won't go down too favourably in this repo, but it does the trick: Switch to using Chrome for integration tests, as chromedriver supports that standard Selenium browser logging interface.

[andreastt]

@lucaspiller Chrome uses a standards incompatible version of the logging interface and we have no intention of implementing that.

A brief update on this is that we discussed logging at the last WebDriver working group meeting and I wrote down some quick words here: https://sny.no/2017/12/wdupdate
