How to start Chromedriver in verbose mode on Eclipse

Question

I just recently installed OS X 10.9 on my mac and ever since then Chromedriver is not working when I try to run tests.

The error says "Chrome was killed".

Most of them mentioned that it works fine when you set the Chromedriver to --verbose mode but I have no idea how to do that.

Any ideas on how this can be done?

Answer 1

Hi friend, here is a script that helps in creating the executable you'll need. So, change the directory (cd) to the directory where the chromedriver is present and then paste this to your console:

cat <<EOF>chromedriververbose
echo "running chromedriver --verbose \$*"
\$(dirname \$0)/chromedriver --verbose \$*
EOF

chmod +x chromedriververbose

That'll create an executable script called chromedriververbose where you can point your tests rather than just chromedriver.

Alternatively, you can rename chromedriver to chromedriversilent and then call the above script chromedriver and point it to chromedriversilent for drop-in replacement.

Hope this helps :)
