Chromium Edge automation with selenium (best practice)
johnjansen actually it do not open with the edge:
i installed Edge dev Version 77.0.211.3, and Edge Canary Version 77.0.218.4 too. And I use the Version: 77.0.219.0 driver. My test open chrome, not edge. I tried with chromeoption, with System.setProperty, but still. Can you help me what I do wrong? Thanks!
johnjansen Thank you, I have been looking for the new webdriver for Chromium Edge as well. I have attempted pointing the latest ChromeDriver (74.0.3729.6) at Edge but it appears version checking is being performed by ChromeDriver itself ("unrecognized Chrome version: Edg/75.0.131.0"). Circumventing this would require compiling a new ChromeDriver from the Chrome repo, which at that point it makes more sense to just wait for your dedicated driver.
DaleRiechert2& for those who are curious - it would require to patch this file [1], like done for the headless mode in [2].
Anyone has already a Chromium build infrastructure set up and can quickly compile such a binary until we have an official build (From my experience it might take a while to wait...)?

BPascal the official builds will be out today. As soon as we get the links cleaned up and merged, I'll post a link to the download page.
johnjansen BPascal the link is now live!!! https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/#downloads
- johnjansen Are there any plans to include the driver (or Edge) version number in the download urls? From "https://az813057.vo.msecnd.net/webdriver/msedgedriver_x86/msedgedriver.exe" I can see that the driver is for 32bit, but that's it. And as soon as Edge is stable in version 75, Beta in 76, Dev in 77 and canary in another 77 things get messy...
