Chromium Edge automation with selenium (best practice)

PraveenRaj13 did you try this?

 options.AddUserProfilePreference("credentials_enable_service", false);
 options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);

Thank u john

we are getting struck with disable save password POP up .unable to disable this pop i tryed with below capabilities  but its not working so kindly help us

edgeOptions.setExperimentalOption("credentials_enable_service", false);
edgeOptions.setExperimentalOption("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);

PraveenRaj13 this article should be able to help you. It has information for different versions of Selenium and WebDriver, though 2.53 is too old - it does not have any knowledge of Microsoft Edge, unfortunately.

leiwang 

thank u so much.  I'm able to do navigate browser is there any possibility to use selenium 2.53 version or   what are the versions support for selenium for this please give your solution 

PraveenRaj13 

This problem is very probably related to the Microsoft Chromium Edge's version,  before version 80, you can treat it like a chrome browser; but from version 80 you have to use EdgeDriver and EdgeOptions to handle it.

See my detail explanation at stackoverflow

does not work  please have u look my code and provide some solution

ChromeOptions co=new ChromeOptions();

Where's the NuGet package for installing the Edge Chromium drivers?

nhatekar yes. Really the best way is to update to the Alpha build of Selenium 4 because that's where we updated Selenium to recognize the new Edge browser. 

Here is just a quick C# example that works with Selenium 4 (you can get it from nuget or here:

Selenium 4 

                // EdgeOptions() requires using OpenQA.Selenium.Edge
                // Construct EdgeOptions with is_legacy = false
                var edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions(false);
                edgeOptions.BinaryLocation = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe";

                var msedgedriverDir = @"c:\drivers";
                var msedgedriverExe = @"msedgedriver.exe";


                // Construct EdgeDriverService with is_legacy = false too
                var service = EdgeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(msedgedriverDir, msedgedriverExe, false);
                service.EnableVerboseLogging = true;

                var driver = new EdgeDriver(service, edgeOptions);
                driver.Url = "http://www.example.com";

Is there a straight forward way to use and launch the Edge Chromium driver with Selenium? Thank you. 

leiwang 

I'm able to get chromium edge to launch with setting the webdriver.chrome.driver property to that of the edge driver (appropriately downloaded for the version i'm using), however, I receive a timeout, which force closes the browser. The browser immediately reopens and continues on, but the initial instance is killed off. 

Other code which has worked for me is: 

			System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "Path to > msedgedriver.exe");
			// Setup the Edge chromium driver options for this operating system
			final ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
			chromeOptions.setBinary(applicationPath);
			chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
			chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));

			final EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions().merge(chromeOptions);

			final WebDriver webDriver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions);

Does "using ChromeDriver and setting the "webdriver.chrome.driver" property" still work?

I am using "chromium edge" Version 80.0.361.5 (Official build) dev (64-bit) and selenium 3.14.0, I doesn't work.

I started the "selenium server" with option -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="pathTo\msedgedriver.exe"

I added the folder containing Edge executable "msedge.exe" on the environment PATH

Then I ran the following code, but it failed

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\SeleniumPlus\\extra\\msedgedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities m_capability = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();m_capability.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, BrowserType.CHROME);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(m_capability);

I tried another way and it worked for me:

I started the "selenium server" with option -Dwebdriver.edge.driver="pathTo\msedgedriver.exe"

I added the folder containing Edge executable "msedge.exe" on the environment PATH

System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "C:\\SeleniumPlus\\extra\\msedgedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities m_capability = DesiredCapabilities.edge();
WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(m_capability);

new EdgeDriver(m_capability); is deprecated, we can use the RemoteWebDriver instead as below:

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), m_capability);

Now I'm having a question, I can we set the "experimental options" for "Chromium Edge"? I asked the same question on stackoverflow at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59299282/how-to-remove-the-infobar-microsoft-edge-is-being-controlled-by-automated-test

Team , I am unable to run the selenium tests in Chrome and Edge(Chromium) in parallel mode . Separately , I am able to execute tests in either of the browsers , but in parallel mode ,only one test is getting succeeded.

mmiky123 Yes, that's correct. Each browser must have it's own Driver that specifically runs that version of the browser. So if you want to automate the Old Edge, you'd use MicrosoftWebDriver. If you want to automate the new Edge, you'd use MSEdgeDriver (and for the time being, tell it where to find the EXE to launch msedge.exe instead of chrome.exe).

aseema31 for the time being (hopefully not too much longer), yes, sort-of. You want to use the Chrome* classes and explicitly point them to the msedge on your machine. When the language bindings are all updated and stable, then you can rename to use Edge* classes.

Here is a code sample in C# for what I mean:

                    var anaheimService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"c:\drivers", "msedgedriver.exe");
                    var anaheimOptions = new ChromeOptions
                    {
                        BinaryLocation = @"C:\Users\johnjan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe"
                    };
                    //anaheimOptions.AddArgument("--headless");
                    driver = new ChromeDriver(anaheimService, anaheimOptions);

mmiky123 

Please help me understand here, the only action taken here is to rename msedgedriver.exe to chromedriver.exe? Rest entire code remains the same as if we were using chromedriver? If so is the case can you please help me understand what to expect when we launch broswer
? Are we expecting chrome or edge to launch when ran in non headless mode?
Thank you

mmiky123 glad to hear that. Yeah, we need to get our language bindings merged into Selenium to avoid the rename. I forgot to mention that. Glad your test worked, though!
