In Python Selenium, it is not possible to hide the Command Prompt window for IEServerDriver.exe which runs in the background. For "headless" solutions, we would like to be able to define as a driver option the ability to make it hidden or visible by default. Some developers have made changes to their code to allow for this by editing service.py. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48654427/hide-command-prompt-in-selenium-chromedriver and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46520823/selenium-dont-work-after-exporting-to-exe-in-windowed-mode-in-pyinstaller

In the C# version, something like this has already been released: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20711407/selenium-webdriver-phantomjs-c-sharp-always-opens-a-cmd-window#21949015

Expected Behavior -

It would be nice if there was a supported driver option that can be specified to enable this functionality when needed.

Actual Behavior -

Developers are not able to run IEServerDriver.exe invisible within a windowed Python Application.

Is there any way to do that now?

PASSO 1
Localize service.py, geralmente em "X:\YourPythonFold\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py"

PASSO 2
Substitua essas linhas (n° 72-76 aproximadamente, abaixo do método iniciar def):

self.process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, env=self.env,
close_fds=platform.system() != 'Windows',
stdout=self.log_file,
stderr=self.log_file,
stdin=PIPE)
Com

if any("hide_console" in arg for arg in self.command_line_args()):
self.process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, creationflags=0x08000000)
else:
self.process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, env=self.env, close_fds=platform.system() != 'Windows', stdout=self.log_file, stderr=self.log_file, stdin=PIPE)

Finalmente em seu código, quando você configurar seu driver (eu escolhi o Chrome como exemplo):

args = ["hide_console", ]
driver = webdriver.Chrome("your-path-to-chromedriver.exe", service_args=args, ...)
