How to disable or change the path of ghostdriver.log?

Question

Question is straightfoward, but some context may help.

I\'m trying to deploy scrapy while using selenium and phantomjs as downloader. But the problem is that it keeps on

Answer 1

When using the PhantomJS driver add the following parameter:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path='/var/log/phantomjs/ghostdriver.log')

Related code, would be nice to have an option to turn off logging though, seems thats not supported:

selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/service.py

class Service(object):
    """
    Object that manages the starting and stopping of PhantomJS / Ghostdriver
    """

    def __init__(self, executable_path, port=0, service_args=None, log_path=None):
        """
        Creates a new instance of the Service

        :Args:
         - executable_path : Path to PhantomJS binary
         - port : Port the service is running on
         - service_args : A List of other command line options to pass to PhantomJS
         - log_path: Path for PhantomJS service to log to
        """

        self.port = port
        self.path = executable_path
        self.service_args= service_args
        if self.port == 0:
            self.port = utils.free_port()
        if self.service_args is None:
            self.service_args = []
        self.service_args.insert(0, self.path)
        self.service_args.append("--webdriver=%d" % self.port)
        if not log_path:
            log_path = "ghostdriver.log"
        self._log = open(log_path, 'w')

Answer 2

    #Reduce logging level
    driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_args=["--webdriver-loglevel=SEVERE"])

    #Remove logging
    import os
    driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path=os.path.devnull)
