Description

• Introduced a new _ClientConfigDescriptor class to handle property access in a more maintainable way
• Replaced 13 pairs of getter/setter methods with descriptor-based properties, significantly reducing code duplication
• Maintained all existing functionality while making the code more concise and easier to maintain

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Documentation The docstring for init_args_for_pool_manager property seems incorrect - it has the same description as ignore_certificates Code Design The _ClientConfigDescriptor class could validate input types in set method to maintain type safety, since the original properties had type hints

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
Possible issue	Enforce type safety for properties that require specific types to prevent runtime errors Add type validation in the descriptor for properties with specific types (like auth_type which should be AuthType enum) to prevent runtime errors from invalid assignments. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/client_config.py [66-67] -auth_type = _ClientConfigDescriptor("_auth_type") -"""Gets and Sets the type of authentication to the remote server.""" +class TypedDescriptor(_ClientConfigDescriptor): + def __init__(self, name, expected_type): + super().__init__(name) + self.expected_type = expected_type + + def __set__(self, obj, value): + if not isinstance(value, self.expected_type): + raise TypeError(f"{self.name} must be of type {self.expected_type.__name__}") + super().__set__(obj, value) +auth_type = TypedDescriptor("_auth_type", AuthType) + Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9 Why: The suggestion introduces strong type validation for properties like auth_type, which is critical for preventing runtime errors and ensuring type safety. This is particularly important for enum-based properties.	9
	Add validation in property setters to prevent invalid values for critical configuration parameters Add validation in the descriptor's set method to ensure that required properties like remote_server_addr cannot be set to None or empty string, as these are critical for the client configuration. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/client_config.py [43-44] def __set__(self, obj, value) -> None: + if self.name == '_remote_server_addr' and not value: + raise ValueError("remote_server_addr cannot be empty") obj.__dict__[self.name] = value Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: The suggestion adds crucial validation for required configuration parameters, preventing potential runtime errors by ensuring critical values like remote_server_addr are not empty or None. This is important for maintaining system stability.	8
	Handle undefined attributes gracefully by returning None instead of raising AttributeError Initialize instance attributes in init to avoid AttributeError when accessing properties before they are set. Currently, direct attribute access could fail if a property is accessed before being set. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/client_config.py [37-39] class _ClientConfigDescriptor: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name + + def __get__(self, obj, cls): + return obj.__dict__.get(self.name) Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: The suggestion improves robustness by gracefully handling uninitialized properties, preventing AttributeError exceptions that could occur when accessing properties before they are set.	7
