After I have been doing any automated task with selenium webdriver, I check the javascript log to see if anything unexpected has happened.

To do that, I am using

browser.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Browser).Where(l=>l.Level != LogLevel.Warning);

(This will only give me critical log entries).

Why am I also getting log entries for 500 internal server error?

Shouldn´t that belong to the logkind LogType.Server?

LogType.Browser is intended to show the javascript errors that you can observe in browser's JS-console. So if the log message appears in that console, then you'll see such the message there.

LogType.Server does not refer to the server component of your application under test. It defines the log messages that are produced by Selenium server component.

LogType.Client, for example, defines the messages that are produced by Selenium client-side protocol that you use in your code.

  • And LogType.Client will include the javascripts error then?

  • Log type does not define the type of error you expect to get. It is rather the place where the log entry appears. Anything related to js issues may or may not appear in client log, depending on the particular implementation. However it is more natural to expect sich kind of errors in BROWSER logs.
