How to hide webdriver manager downloading bar ?

[mouadessalim]

Hey, I've searched quit a lot on how can i hide the downloading bar from printing without changing source module code. I've already tested the os.environ['WDM_LOG_LEVEL'] = '0' and os.environ['WDM_LOG'] = str(logging.NOTSET).

And what about this comment @SergeyPirogov : #389 (comment)

Thanks for helping ! 😊

You can use tmux if you have some troubles with running in background.

For example, you are using python3 main.py & disown, your code have file logger and wdm bar trying to flush(), there will be error.
Solution:
tmux
python3 main.py
<ctrl+b> <d>
if you want go back to session:
tmux attach or tmux attach -t N N is a number of session

if something is unclear, you can contact again

@DAKExDUCK hey thanks for your reply unfortunately I don't use a linux vps to use tmux it's more of a beautifully designed windows console application that uses selenium to grab some things from the web. This is why the downloading bar broke the designed tool

You can understand better if I send you the repository : https://github.com/9P9/Discord-QR-Token-Logger

@mouadessalim So, now i understand, maybe I'll try adding arguments to .install() to avoid the progress bar. But also, I'm not sure if it will get into main

Good luck!

UPDATE
I have added new env variable to config.py

WDM_PROGRESS_BAR with def value 1

Waiting for an answer from the author #438

It's merged. I added a PR which mentions this env variable in the README.md.

If it hasn't been clear, you can use this:

import os
os.environ['WDM_PROGRESS_BAR'] = str(0)
