I am trying to use Java Selenium WebDriver capture all javascripts errors of a webpage.
Here a sample of my code :
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogEntries;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogType;
public class MainExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path_to_driver/geckodriver");
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
LogEntries entries = driver.manage().logs().get(LogType.BROWSER);
}
}
As Firefox driver I am using this version : geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux64.tar.gz
Here is my Selenium version :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>4.1.1</version>
</dependency>
My problem is that when running the previous code I get the following exception :
Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver at org.openqa.selenium.json.JsonInput.peek(JsonInput.java:122) at org.openqa.selenium.json.JsonTypeCoercer.lambda$null$6(JsonTypeCoercer.java:140) at org.openqa.selenium.json.JsonTypeCoercer.coerce(JsonTypeCoercer.java:126) at org.openqa.selenium.json.Json.toType(Json.java:69) at org.openqa.selenium.json.Json.toType(Json.java:55) at org.openqa.selenium.json.Json.toType(Json.java:50) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.W3CHttpResponseCodec.decode(W3CHttpResponseCodec.java:87) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.W3CHttpResponseCodec.decode(W3CHttpResponseCodec.java:49) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.HttpCommandExecutor.execute(HttpCommandExecutor.java:158) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverCommandExecutor.execute(DriverCommandExecutor.java:83) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.execute(RemoteWebDriver.java:552) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteExecuteMethod.execute(RemoteExecuteMethod.java:35) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteLogs.getRemoteEntries(RemoteLogs.java:81) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteLogs.get(RemoteLogs.java:77) at MainExample.main(MainExample.java:17)
If I run the code on a custom page that have some Java script error I do see them in the logs :
JavaScript error: http://localhost/js/app.js?version=625f9736, line 1: TypeError: e is undefined
but I am not able to retrieve them using
driver.manage().logs().get(LogType.BROWSER);
I have tried the different codes of this related subject but I am each time getting this error.
I also have tried to downgrade my selenium version to 3.141.59 but I am still getting the same error.
Using WebDriver log endopints (not supported)
There is no get-logs endpoint defined by W3C WebDriver yet..
https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/#endpoints
And this still opened:
https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/issues/406
So, unfortunately, driver.manage().logs() is not implemented by Firefox.
From geckodriver team:
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.

Using DevTools (seems to work)
I was able to see the console output with selenium-4.1.1 and devtools.v85
package org.example.getlogs
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.devtools.DevTools
import org.openqa.selenium.devtools.v85.log.Log
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions
class GetLogsTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
DevTools devTools = driver.getDevTools();
devTools.createSession();
devTools.send(Log.enable());
devTools.addListener(Log.entryAdded(),
logEntry -> {
System.out.println("" + logEntry.getLevel()+ ": " + logEntry.getText());
});
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70787924/how-to-capture-java-script-errors-using-selenium-java-webdriver");
driver.quit();
}
}
