Hello,
This is not an issue but rather a way to dynamically download the correct Edge webdriver depending on what edge version is currently installed on your system.
I hope some of you might find this helpful.
The same can be donw for Mac OS and Linux. I just wanted to leave a bit of an inspiration.

public void DownloadEdgeDriver()
        {
            FileVersionInfo info = null;
            string version = null;
            string drivername = null;
            if(RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows))
            {
                if(!File.Exists(tmpfolder + "edgeversion.txt"))
                    File.Create(tmpfolder  + "edgeversion.txt").Close();

                if(Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem is true)
                {
                    info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe");
                    drivername = "edgedriver_win64.zip";
                }
                else
                {
                    info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(@"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe");
                    drivername = "edgedriver_win32.zip";
                }
                
                version = info.FileVersion;
                string current = File.ReadAllText(tmpfolder  + "edgeversion.txt").ToString();
                if (version != current)
                {
                    if(File.Exists(driverfolder + "\\*.zip"))
                        File.Delete(driverfolder  + "\\*.zip");
                    if(File.Exists(driverfolder  + "\\msedgedriver.exe"))
                        File.Delete(driverfolder  + "\\msedgedriver.exe");            
                    
                    using (var client = new WebClient()) 
                    {
                        client.DownloadFile("https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net/" + version + "/" + drivername, driverfolder  + "\\" + drivername);
                    }
                    if(File.Exists(driverfolder   + "\\msedgedriver.exe"))
                        File.Delete(driverfolder   + "\\msedgedriver.exe");
                    if(Directory.Exists(driverfolder   + "\\Driver_Notes"))
                        Directory.Delete(driverfolder   + "\\Driver_Notes", true);
                    ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(driverfolder   + "\\" + drivername, Configuration.DefaultBinDirWin);
                    File.WriteAllText(tmpfolder + "edgeversion.txt", version);
                }
            }
        }

My code is

from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge, EdgeOptions
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager
import os, time

options = EdgeOptions()
# options.use_chromium = True
# options.add_argument("headless")
# options.add_argument("disable-gpu")
prefs = {'safebrowsing.enabled': 'false','download.default_directory' : os.getcwd() + os.path.sep}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)

driver.get('https://github.com/')

Please help me on this
I want to run this on headless and download the files to a desired directory
especially from wher the code is triggered

Does anyone have any examples on how to use the Remote webdriver in C#?

So far i'm doing this:

new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri(RemoteEndPoint), options.ToCapabilities(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5))

It seems to work fine but when going on my Ubuntu docker container with edge installed I get this:

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong since I see the Python version seems to be a whole lot simpler.

Please produce strong-name signed assemblies as it makes the assemblies impossible to reference without modification by a project where strong-naming is enabled.

Selenium itself has a separate strong-named package (http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/3.141/selenium-dotnet-strongnamed-3.141.0.zip). The better solution is to strong-name the assemblies and ship it in the existing package, because two packages that contain exactly the same assemblies, types, etc, could cause issues if they are in the same dependency graph.

Example of the current issue as seen in ILSpy:
Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools, Version=3.141.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

From what I can ascertain from the scant information on google you need to pass an argument. There's not really any documentation on how to do this but I tried the following:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var options = new EdgeOptions();

    var capabilities = new List<string>() {
        "profile-directory=c:\\temp\\edgedriver\\temp",
        "user-data-dir=c:\\temp\\edgedriver\\temp"
    };

    options.AddAdditionalCapability("args", capabilities.ToArray());

    var driver = new EdgeDriver(@"c:\temp\edgedriver", options);

    driver.Url = "https://www.google.com";
}

However it doesn't seem to register the command line parameters at all, if I go to edge://version/

I'm just fumbling around in the dark as I see all kinds of things like references to a UseChromium flag that doesn't seem to exist, and if I don't provide the path to the executable (which incidentally has the wrong name in the zip) it gives me an exception that has a URL to get the edge driver from which is a broken link.

It may be that this entire project is just legacy/deprecated and not maintained and is broken as that's what it feels like, but if anyone knows how I can simply have a console app in .NET 4.7.2 that opens a browser and goes to google using Edge it would be appreciated.

I set the executable path, it doesn't work

I am trying to automate a SAP web portal (NetWeaver) using Selenium WebDriver 3.141.59 (Java binding). Upon navigating to the portal, it shows a message on screen saying "Could not open iView. The iView is not compatible with your browser, operating system, or device. Contact your system administrator for more information."

Also, on top it shows a ribbon with message "turn off remote debugging to open this site in internet explorer mode".

However, with regular browser session, it works fine.

Should I use any specific capabilities/option while creating EdgeDriver instance?

hello

how to start microsoft edge in IE mode with excel vba

Hi,

I get an error when trying to use EdgeOptions saying that it's not CLS-compliant. I couldn't find any flags explicitly turning the compliance off, and didn't notice anything when I looked at the class myself (it is rather large, though).

Is this at all intentional? I had to use #pragma warning disable CS3009 to derive from the class.

Best regards,
Stefan

For example, test code like this.

Test code

from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge, EdgeOptions
options1 = EdgeOptions()
options1.use_chromium = True
print(options1.to_capabilities())
driver1 = Edge(options=options1)
options2 = EdgeOptions()
options2.use_chromium = True
print(options2.to_capabilities())
driver2 = Edge(desired_capabilities=options2.to_capabilities())

When I run this test code, I could check that two drivers have same capabilities, but driver2 is not created and it raise WebDriverException like this.

Log

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Admin/PycharmProjects/Tissue Python/tests/test.py", line 9, in <module>
driver2 = Edge(desired_capabilities=options2.to_capabilities())
File "C:\Users\Admin\PycharmProjects\Tissue Python\venv\lib\site-packages\msedge\selenium_tools\webdriver.py", line 98, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "C:\Users\Admin\PycharmProjects\Tissue Python\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 81, in start
raise WebDriverException( selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'MicrosoftWebDriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH. Please download from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=619687

So, I look your webdriver.py source.

I think line no. 58 makes Edge Instance's options mandatory.

If options is None, use_chromium always has False.
So executable_path be 'MicrosoftWebDriver.exe'.

Could you check this issue?

Thank you.

I'm using Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools EdgeOptions to construct options for the EdgeDriver.

But the issue right now is that Edge blocks downloads.

Tried different sorts of things but none of them worked.

Same issue can be solved on Chrome by disabling "safebrowsing" on UserProfilePreferences in ChromeOptions.

I know for a fact that SmartScreen does the blocking, if that is so is there any profile preference that I can use to disable SmartScreen ?

Or any other workaround to force download without the block would be very helpful.

I had reported this documentation issue
I have verified that I am using selenium driver version same as of browser version which is version 85.0.564.51
I am using Selenium.WebDriver:version 4.0.0-alpha05 and Selenium.Support version 4.0.0-alpha05

var options = new EdgeOptions

    UseChromium = true,
    BinaryLocation = _driverExe
};
var edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(options);

It fails with

3. If I copy msedgedriver.exe to my dotnet core console executable location i.e project/bin/Debug and setting binary location to msedge.exe location instead of driver exe location. But this doesnt respect DriverWait calls even though I set driver implicit wait time.

I have a problem with msedgedriver, but I am not sure if this is right place to report it. If it is not, please redirect me to the proper issue tracker.

I'm experiencing the a problem in msedgedriver 92 and 93. It was working fine in msedgedriver 91 and before. It can be reproduced as follows:

1. Start msedgedriver in Linux:

./msedgedriver --port=4444 --allowed-ips=''

2. Connect to the URL: http://172.17.0.1:4444/

I need to use the IP 172.17.0.1 (instead of the usual localhost) since I run msedgedriver in a Docker container, and I need to request it using the IP address of the gateway between the Docker host and the bridge network (i.e., 172.17.0.1).

In msedgedriver 91, it works fine (i.e., the URL before can be requested normally). As of version 92, msedgedriver is not responding correctly. I get the following error in the msedgedriver traces:

Starting MSEdgeDriver 92.0.902.45 (ac0e90db3541aec3618593d9b9a1c1ce19757e48) on port 4444
All remote connections are allowed. Use an allowlist instead!
Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping MSEdgeDriver safe.
MSEdgeDriver was started successfully.
[1626189763.900][SEVERE]: Rejecting request with host: 172.17.0.1:4444 address: 172.17.0.1

... and I get the following error in the client: Host header or origin header is specified and is not whitelisted or localhost.

I've tried to setup the whitelisted IPs (using the argument --whitelisted-ips='' when starting msedgedriver) but no luck. Any idea about it?

It looks like I cannot run this on Edge 83 and cannot find anywhere to download old version of Chromium Edge. I like to start using this package. Does anyone have a link to where you can get old version of Chromium Edge 81.

Using the example code provided in the README, I receive the error WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot find MSEdge binary

Edge version: Version 84.0.522.15 (Official build) beta (64-bit) (and corresponding webdriver)
Python version: 3.8
msedge-selenium-tools==3.141.1
selenium==3.141.0

Code to reproduce:

from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge, EdgeOptions

webdriver_location = "C:\\Path\\To\\msedgedriver.exe"

options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True
driver = Edge(options=options, executable_path=webdriver_location)

My only thought is perhaps that this doesn't work with the beta build?

Hi,
Thanks for creating this project , It really helps in running chromium edge tests with simple changes
Just wanted to know if there are any plans of adding java support as well, this will help a lot of selenium based frameworks.

Hi Respected Team,

I am running my test script using msedgedriver with ruby and capybara. Below are the version information.

1. Platform : Windows 10
2. capybara (3.35.3)
   addressable
   mini_mime (>= 0.1.3)
   nokogiri (> 1.8)
   rack (>= 1.6.0)
   rack-test (>= 0.6.3)
   regexp_parser (>= 1.5, < 3.0)
   xpath (> 3.2)
3. rspec-expectations (3.10.1)
4. selenium-webdriver (3.142.7)
5. site_prism-all_there (0.3.2)
6. ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x64-mingw32]
7. Msedgedriver version 92 [ Stable ]
8. Edge Browser version 92.0

This is how I am initializing my edge browser

Capybara.register_driver :selenium_edge do |app|
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.edge("javascriptEnabled": true,
"cssSelectorsEnabled": true,
"takesScreenshot": true,
"nativeEvents": true,
"rotatable": true,
'ms:edgeOptions' => { 'args' => [
"--disable-web-security"
], w3c: false })
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :edge,:driver_path => 'C:\Users\sum\Downloads\msedgedriver.exe',
desired_capabilities: capabilities)

Observation :-

1. Driver loads the test url.
2. NoMethodError: undefined method gsub' for nil:NilClass Stacktrace : - C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/capybara-3.35.3/lib/capybara/selenium/node.rb:18:in all_text'
   C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/capybara-3.35.3/lib/capybara/node/element.rb:60:in block in text' C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/capybara-3.35.3/lib/capybara/node/base.rb:83:in synchronize'
   C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/capybara-3.35.3/lib/capybara/node/element.rb:60:in `text'

Here chrome works fine. Here code is supposed to read text from webpage. Can you please let me know if this is an issue ?

expect(@app.login_page.logo_header.text).to eq('Text') works in chromedriver
expect(@app.login_page.logo_header.text).to eq('Text') not works in edgedriver
expect(@app.login_page.logo_header.native.text).to eq('Text') works in edgedriver

If I set up the Selenium gird and I use below code ,

Capybara.register_driver :selenium_grid do |app|
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.edge
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :remote, url: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub', desired_capabilities: capabilities)
end

Then edge driver works fine.

After I updated from 89 to 90, the original code throws an exception.

OpenQA.Selenium.InvalidCookieDomainException:“invalid cookie domain: Cookie 'domain' mismatch
(Session info: MicrosoftEdge=90.0.818.46)”

I have automation where I have to put the device into sleep for some time and resume back and continue this is automated using C# Selenium with Edge chromium starting from version 106.0.1370.61 observing timed out after 60 seconds exception.

The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:51169/session/f4487276b9598848efffa4a8f69fd36a/actions timed out after 60 seconds.
11/5/2022 4:12:12 PM : Info: Wait for playback time 160000
the use case is:
run a video playback on edge -> put it in pause -> suspend device using auto sleep -> after resume ->wait for sleep time to get completed and resume script, issue is observed as soon as device enters sleep .

I found that after updating Edge and the web driver to version 93.0.961.38 test execution in our build pipeline fails. With everything else unchanged (source code, build environment, OS) tests that completed last week are now failing. I am seeing ElementClickInterceptedExceptions and WebDriverTimeoutExceptions when expected content is not detected.

Tests run in Jenkins on a Windows Server machine. When running the tests interactively on my development computer and in a command prompt window on the server everything is fine.

Attempting to get a screenshot to figure out what's happening on the page results in

The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:62331/session/9ff5f2b91df1a9e969c42489aa96db86/screenshot timed out after 60 seconds.

What can I do to restore the functionality or to get to the root cause of the problem?

I tried to use the same method as chrome, but it didn't work
python thx

Hey,

is there some sort of documentation on how ms:edgeOptions are structured? I assume it is similar to chromeOptions but would love to see more details about what it supports and what not.

Hello there,

I currently have one node with EdgeHTML and one node with chromium-based Microsoft Edge registered against the same selenium hub. I want to run some tests ONLY on EdgeHTML node.

My question is: how the hub can determine which node should be used due to that both nodes provide almost the same capability, i.e., browserName=MicrosoftEdge, platform=WIN10? The only difference is version. But it seems that the EdgeHTML driver doesn't allow to specify the version.

EdgeHTML Node capability:

  "capabilities":
  [
    {
      "browserName": "MicrosoftEdge",
      "maxInstances": 1,
      "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver",
      "version": "18.17763"
    }
  ],

How I create the EdgeOptions:

var options = new EdgeOptions();
options.BrowserVersion = "18.17763";

EdgeHTML Node Log:

[16:34:52.002] - {
  "desiredCapabilities": {
    "browserName": "MicrosoftEdge",
    "browserVersion": "18.17763"
  },
  "capabilities": {
    "firstMatch": [
      {
        "browserName": "MicrosoftEdge",
        "browserVersion": "18.17763"
      }
    ]
  }

Thanks.

Can we have a updated version for Selenium 4 please?

I'm getting the following error

This was working fine on Selenium 3

Hi Folks.

This week Selenium 4 was released to the world. A lot of the code in this repo appears to be workarounds for things that hadn't shipped.

I have done a quick look over the repo and I can't see it's needed and @bwalderman has submitted PRs to Selenium for similar functionality.

If this is no longer needed could we see about archiving this repository?

Somewhere along the version-line Chrome flipped the default for using the W3C protocol.
Since the Selenium C# API was still only passing in the override if it was overriding the previous default value, this meant there was no way to override any more.
See SeleniumHQ/selenium#7521.

In the end we build a version of the Selenium binaries ourselves with the right fix and packaged this in a local NuGet repo with version 3.141.1-w3c-flag.

This means we cannot install the Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools along this version, as it requires an exact match on 3.141.0.

I'd rather not compile and package this myself too, just for the sake of being able to install it.

Any suggestions on how to approach this? Could you relax the requirement for the exact match?

Hello,
in our team we used chromedriver which executes UI test on embedded cefsharp browser on local and remote machines without any issues.
When we migrate into webview2 browser we switched from chromedriver to edgedriver but only tests which are running locally are successful.
Tests which require execution on remote machines gets this error when constructing edgedriver instance:
Message:

    OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:56777/session timed out after 60 seconds.
      ----> System.Net.WebException : The request was aborted: The operation has timed out.
    TearDown : System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectFaultedException : The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

we are using selenium v3 nuget package and MSEdgeDriver 91.0.864.37

Do you know what could be the problem?

Not working with version 86.x, will there be an update coming?

Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: 'session not created: This version of MSEdgeDriver only supports MSEdge version 84

Readme says to do 👍
pip install msedge-selenium-tool

But pip says package does not exist.

Python version used 3.7.6

when i try to run my test with this edge package i always get this error.
\bin\Debug\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=619687.

i figure out, if a rename the "msedgedriver.exe" too "MicrosoftWebDriver.exe" in debug folder, the test run fine.

Trying to run msedge in a docker container as part of a selenium grid deployment, can't get the driver service to start and the error message just says that it can't start the service.

Code:

conn = EdgeRemoteConnection(remote_webdriver_url)
remote = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=conn, options=options)

Result of options.to_capabilities() :

{
  'browserName': 'MicrosoftEdge', 
  'version': '', 
  'platform': 'Linux',
  'ms:edgeOptions': {
    'extensions': [], 
    'binary': 'msedgedriver', 
    'args': ['--disable-infobars', '--disable-notifications', '--enable-automatic-password-saving', '--log-level=1', '--ignore-ssl- 
      errors=yes', '--ignore-certificate-errors']
}, 'ms:edgeChromium': True
}

Narrowing further, just calling .execute throws the same thing:
conn.execute('newSession', params={"desiredCapabilities": caps})

Versions:
selenium=3.141
driver=90.0.796.0

Any ideas?

Hello,
I would like to open Edge browser on a remote server.
I have Seleniumin version 3.141.59 and Edge 81.0.416.7 (webdriver is appropriate for this version)
I use the following code written in python:

from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge, EdgeOptions
from msedge.selenium_tools.remote_connection import EdgeRemoteConnection
from selenium import webdriver

options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True

command_executor = EdgeRemoteConnection('https://MY_HOST/wd/hub')
browser = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor=command_executor,
    options=options
)

the browser opens but I get an error immediately, the selenium session is not created...

does anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
