Download Webdriver For Edge

I've been using Selenium with the Edge Driver for some time. I've been instantiating my Edge Driver by specifying the executable_path= parameter with no issues. However, I recently switched my web automation project to use the webdriver_manager, i.e., webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager. Now, when I command the driver to navigate to any webpage - it opens for one second, then immediately closes. The current troubleshooting step I'm on is ensuring that the Edge Driver I'm using (the one downloaded by using the webdriver_manager module) is compatible with my current OS Version, but now I'm stumped. I don't know how to find which MS Edge Driver is compatible/correct for my current OS build - I see no patterns when comparing the two, e.g.:

So, how do I find the Edge Driver that is "right" for my OS? When I look at these two numbers: OS build - 22000.795 and Edge webdriver version - 103.0.1264.77; I see no pattern or way of determining which driver is compatible. Maybe, I'm using the webdriver_manager module improperly? I know I can use the executable path, but I'm under the impression that using the webriver_manager automates the install of new releases for you so you don't have to update your script to new edge drivers in the future.

It's working now (i.e., with the same code example in my original question, the MS Edge window now opens as commanded and remains open). I found the MS Docs regarding Edge webdriver installation/configuration

The first step is to ensure that your Edge webdriver ("msedgedriver.exe") version matches your Edge browser version (I read a tech blog that said my OS build version needed to match my "msedgedriver.exe" version - thinking maybe that's wrong now?)

So, I'm not 100% sure what the cause for the webdriver_manager failing to download the correct version (to match my browser) was - but until I updated my MS Edge Browser, no new drivers were installed. Then after update and running the script, the right driver is installed and it's working fine now.

I tried to schedule in task scheduler my webdriver UDF script using edge browser but it is not running and its failing but when i am running manually it is running fine without any issue. Please help if i am missing anywhere.

Attached are the logs. I am seeing in logs msedge is crashing due to RESPONSE InitSession ERROR unknown error: MSEdge failed to start: exited normally.

(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist), while running this error is not visible.

@MRAJ This issue has been discussed in great detail on the net. Just Google on the phrase "webdriver DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist" and you'll find lots of discussion and potential solutions.

I tried solution like giving admin privilege to my scripts, path, even i changed the msedge to script directory, and schedule in task schedule like account to run which i logged in and script path to run. I search in net but not getting proper answer what i am doing through scheduling the script. upgrading and downloading the newer version of browser and webdriver. Still i am researching on this. As it is running manually without any issue but if i schedule it is giving me issue.

Actions: path of the exe file. and below is the page it will load and it will not go further, i tried to run using batch script and gave the path of the script and browser if may be exe file it is not accepting. I am not sure may be some compatible issue with Task scheduler or is there any bug with edge browser. Still i am trying best but not success still. and in net i found the below but not sure where to add. I tried to run using user account not admin but still same issue.

I have the latest Edge version Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0 installed on my machine. I am not able to find the driver for this version on: -us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/.

Is there any workaround to fix this issue since I am unable to do the test execution on Edge browser?

I have tried pip installing msedge-selenium-tools, selenium alone, and more. Nothing seems to work. I tried following a Selenium Replit Tutorial for chrome and changing chrome in for edge but had no luck in getting Edge to launch. Something not included in the tutorial but in the comments is the step of adding package dependencies to allow chrome to run. The example comment shows that the nix package dependencies for Chrome are:

"msedgedriver(.exe)" isn't included in published files on default configuration. This behavior is by design and follows -selenium-webdriver-chromedriver/ design. For more info reffer to guides at -selenium-webdriver-chromedriver.

I'm using Edge v81.0.416.64 to run Selenium Tests using the matching Edge WebDriver, however it does not seem to be possible to set a custom download directory using the "download.default_directory" user profile preference, used in Chrome. I know that there is the option to change the download directory using group policies ( -us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#downloaddirectory), but this is no viable option for web tests.

A more robust approach is to have your drivers in your source code, but have different drivers per OS. Serenity allows you to pass driver-specific properties to a driver, as long as they are prefixed with drivers.os. For example, the following line will configure the webdriver.chrome.driver if you are running your tests under windows.

Microsoft Edge is a Chromium driver, so the configuration is very similar to Chrome. The main difference is the use of "ms:edgeOptions'" instead of "goog:chromeOptions". A typical configuration is shown below:

webdriver_manager downloading some webdrivers from their official GitHub repositories but GitHub has limitations like 60 requests per hour for unauthenticated users.In case not to face an error related to GitHub credentials, you need to create GitHub token and place it into your environment: (*)

SSL verification can be disabled for downloading webdriver binaries in case when you have troubles with SSL Certificates or SSL Certificate Chain. Just set the environment variable WDM_SSL_VERIFY to "0".

Here the add_todos(edgeDriver) method is mainly responsible for creating multiple todos and adding them to the todo list as described in our algorithm. It selects the input_field and add_button with the help of the find_element and CSS_SELECTOR attributes of the Selenium Edge driver.

In this automation script for marking the first todo as completed, first, we create a new browser session by the use of the Selenium WebDriver service object and the edgeDriver object similar to the previous example.

We can use different version of Python or Ubuntu for this to work, but since MS Edge is client's preferred browser that can't be replaced with Firefox or other available browser. Though we can use different version of edge, if it works. And we are able to test the same in chrome browser successfully.We can use different Linux Distros as long as it is stable version.

Also tried to follow the same instruction as we did for chrome. For installing chrome driver we followed ' -to-install-chromedriver-on-ubuntu/'. So we did the same for edge and replaced "chromedriver" with "msedgedriver" in the script.

To use Edge in IE Mode, prior to IEDriverServer v4.5, you need to set 2 separate options:ie.edgechromium and ie.edgepath (the method names on the IE Options classes vary significantly between the languages).The first issue with IE Mode is that the Zoom Level of IE Mode is differentfrom the Zoom Level of standalone Internet Explorer. I have not founda way to change the IE Mode zoom level, which means you have to set the option for ignoreZoomSetting, which, again, has different method names in the different languages. With this option set, though, IEDriver can not properly parse the coordinates on a screen.That means that the various Mouse and Scroll Wheel methods in the Actions class that require using coordinates will not work in IE Mode.

Related with the location of Web driver, It is not depended on the Webdriver location as earlier, when it was working the path I had given was C:\WebDriver\

and it was working. It has stopped working when the build version of Windows 10 has changed after windows update.

Is there any other way we can solve this issue as the OS build will change with windows update and if Microsoft is not providing the webdriver for that specific version then we can not use Test Studio any more for testing on Edge Browser?

Selenium WebDriver carries out the automation using the native support of each browser. For this reason, we need to place a binary file called driver between the test using the Selenium WebDriver API and the browser to be controlled. Examples of drivers for major web browsers nowadays are chromedriver (for Chrome), geckodriver (for Firefox), or msedgedriver (for Edge). As you can see in the following picture, the communication between the WebDriver API and the driver binary is done using a standard protocol called W3C WebDriver (formerly the so-called JSON Wire Protocol). Then, the communication between the driver and the browser is done using the native capabilities of each browser. e24fc04721
