Fix WebDriverListenerException

in Selenium

Solution

WebDriverListenerException usually arises when a WebDriverListener encounters an exception during event handling, but the underlying driver operation doesn't properly propagate it. Fix this by ensuring your WebDriverListeners' methods include try-catch blocks to handle potential exceptions, and then either re-throw them as RuntimeExceptions or log them appropriately, preventing them from being swallowed and triggering the WebDriverListenerException at a later, unexpected point. Also, verify that your EventFiringDecorator (or equivalent) is configured to correctly propagate exceptions thrown by WebDriverListeners.
