Get rid of "Timed out receiving message from renderer" Message Well, if you using selenium web driver to automate your web flows you must be really annoyed by now with the console log [SEVERE]: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 0.100 This not only gives us a false impression of some error happening during the run but also makes it difficult to go over the console logs. Luckily, we can make use of the silent output mode in chrome to get rid of these messages. To do so we need to set the silentOutput parameter to true in System property as follows. System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.silentOutput", "true"); and voila...no more annoying timeout message.   If you don't want to use setting the system property way for any reason, there is another way for you to achieve this. You can make use of ChromeDriverService builder to build it with " withSilent " set to true in the code as below.   ChromeDriverService.Builder bu...

Intellij JAR Remote Debugging Prerequisite: The code used to generate the JAR deployed on the remote location and the code on the local machine should be the same. Click on Edit Configurations option in Intellij and create a new Remote configuration Enter the Host IP  in the Host field and the below command in the command line arguments for remote JVM field -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 Save the remote configuration  Put the necessary breakpoints in place Run the JAR on the remote server using the command java -jar -Xmx2g -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005 your-jar.jar argumen1 argument2  You will see that your program is not executing but instead listening to the port you mentioned in the command  Now select the remote configuration we created earlier in Intellij and click on Debug button, your code will now start executing and you will be able to debug the code.
