💥 What does this PR do?

Returns a meaningful error and message when an exception is raised in the WebSocketConnection execute method.

Earlier only 'error': 'unknown error' exception was raised which doesn't provides any good error message.

Now, its much better:

Exception: unknown error: No such file or directory: /private/var/tmp/_bazel_navinchandra/a5b294e127f7c14e5d2a4b14aeba0f68/....

    Exception Handling

    The PR improves error reporting but uses generic Exception class. Consider using a more specific exception type like WebDriverException for better error handling by client code.

    Use a more specific exception type instead of the generic Exception class.
    Consider using a custom exception or a more specific built-in exception that
    better represents the error condition from the WebSocket response.

    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

    __

    Why:
    Relevant best practice - Fix inconsistent error messages and validation logic. Ensure error messages are clear, accurate, and provide specific information about the error condition.

    Low
    General
    Remove unnecessary variable

    The current implementation creates a variable error_msg only to use it once
    immediately. Simplify the code by raising the exception directly with the
    formatted error message to improve readability and reduce unnecessary variables.

    py/selenium/webdriver/remote/websocket_connection.py [67-73]

     if "error" in response: error = response["error"] if "message" in response: - error_msg = f"{error}: {response['message']}" - raise Exception(error_msg) + raise Exception(f"{error}: {response['message']}") else: raise Exception(error)

    Why: The suggestion improves code readability by eliminating an unnecessary variable, but it does not affect functionality or correctness, making it a minor style enhancement.

    This looks fine, but it should probably raise WebDriverException instead of a generic Exception.

    Same thing in the _deserialize_result method in that file... if you want to fix that while you're in there.

    Agree with @cgoldberg, let's change to WebDriverException.
