I'm using selenium firefox and my code below generate what i needed but after it finished loading it generated a flooded of debugging messages. What am I doing wrong?
def count_list(self, busienss_seller_url):
seller_url = busienss_seller_url
driver.get(seller_url)
while True:
load_content = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[5]/div[3]/div/button')
try:
load_content.click()
time.sleep(3)
except:
print('Finish loading...')
break
links = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("title-link")
number_of_links = []
for link in links:
ad_links = link.get_attribute('href')
number_of_links.append(ad_links)
driver.close()
'count ads - return how many links are in the list'
return len(number_of_links)
The debugging message is below gets generated x100+, have a look at 2018-09-04 22:36:57 [selenium.webdriver.remote.remote_connection] DEBUG: POST which loaded a bunch of javascript. How do I fix it or can I just ignore it?

It would be tough to guess the reason for the chunk of those messages, but from the logs it is pretty clear that:
DEBUG messages on the console or it's the default configuration.This click() event of coarse triggers the execution of a synchronous JavaScript as:
"POST /session/7229021d-dce2-4653-bea9-7cd29732d83a/execute/sync HTTP/1.1" 200 150
Execution of the JavaScript is within the context of the currently selected frame or window.
If you want to get rid of the DEBUG messages on the console you have to configure the WebDriver instance passing the key, value pair as follows:
browser = webdriver.Ie(capabilities=cap, executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\IEDriverServer.exe", log_level='TRACE', log_file='./Logs/IEDriver_Arg.log')
