Android driver should trap log requests so it can return logcat logs even when in webview mode
See original GitHub issueUsing Opera browser on Android, which has an embedded chromium context, driver.get_log("logcat") stops working after switching to chromium context using:
driver.switch_to.context("CHROMIUM")
After the first switch (regardless of whether I switch back to native app context or not) I keep getting the following server error when trying to get the logcat:
unknown error: log type 'logcat' not found\n (Session info: content shell with embedded Chromium )\n
Looks like the context switch breaks the logcat capture functionality.
