What each browser records
Which of video, console, network and driver log you get from Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Every session can keep four things for you. Which ones you actually get depends on the browser you picked.
| Browser | Video | Console | Network | Driver log |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Edge | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Firefox | ✅ | ✅ (118 and up) | ✅ (123 and up) | ✅ |
| Safari | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
Safari keeps no console or network logs. Apple's driver gives us no way to read them, so there is nothing we can collect. Safari sessions still record video and keep the driver log.
Older Firefox versions still run. A Firefox below 118 works fine — its Console tab is just empty, and below 123 the Network tab is too.
What the four are
- Video — a recording of the session. Off unless you ask for it with
recording: true. - Console — whatever your site printed to the browser console.
- Network — a log of every request the page made. On browsers this is newline-delimited JSON, not a HAR file; Automate Mobile produces real HAR.
- Driver log — the log from the thing that drives the browser. Useful when a test fails for no clear reason.
The last three are on by default. Turn any of them off in your capabilities, and find them all on the session page afterwards — see Sessions & Artifacts.
