Timed out message receiving from renderer: 0.100 log messages using ChromeDriver and Chrome v80 through Selenium Java

Question

I recently updated my chrome from v74 to v80. Now I am facing timeout messaging rending when I run my script which was running successfully on v74.

My code :

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/home/sharukh/Downloads/chromedriver1/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
//driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5,TimeUnit.SECONDS) ;
driver.get("https://www.mariatash.com/");

Help me out on this issue.

This is a known-issue, it's not actually a failure but a retry attempt to listen to chrome. The severity tag confuses the user, and there is a fix on the way. You could also down grade to version 79 and it works with chrome 80.

If you want to surpress this message temporarily for now then,

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.silentOutput", "true"); //THIS will surpress all logs expect INFO


    java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("org.openqa.selenium").setLevel(Level.OFF); // this could be used to stop INFO logging in chrome driver

You can also suppress error message using ChromeDriverService class:

    WebDriver browser = null;

    ChromeDriverService service = new ChromeDriverService.Builder()
            .usingDriverExecutable(new File("C:\\chromedriver.exe")).usingPort(4444).withSilent(true)
            .build();
        service.start();



        browser = new RemoteWebDriver(service.getUrl(), new ChromeOptions());

and once the test is over stop the service , else the port remains opened.

browser.quit()
service.stop()

Answer 3

Add this after you initialize the browser. It worked for me.

System.setProperty(ChromeDriverService.CHROME_DRIVER_SILENT_OUTPUT_PROPERTY, "true");
