UI Automation (edge chromium)
- Apr 18, 2019
BobbyCannon we plan on having an MSEdgeDriver very soon, and you can also use puppeteer and headless. In addition, you can use ChromeDriver for the time being by passing in the path to msedge.exe in a ChromeOption. Is there anything specifically you would like?
johnjansen I have an automation open source project that I want to add support for Edge.
I would suggest, if you can do this, to stick with the Chrome way of automating. It's uber nice to not have to download yet another thing to get automation working. I never supported Edge due to the fact that I'd have to instruct TestR to download the "driver" to enable support. Just too much friction.
One of the benefits of TestR over other automation frameworks is that it just works with very little friction. IE and Chrome just works and FireFox has very little configuration requirements. You can reference one nuget package, add a few lines of code, and boom you are automating browsers and desktop applications.
