the "the driver failed to open the listening port 127.0.0.1:55981 within 10sec" error likely means that you have the i ncorrect version of the webdriver installed. Double-check your browser and webdriver version numbers to make sure they are the same.

jimhubbard  you can find the latest EDGE library for Selenium on the following link:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/

 

Remember to rename the file to >edgedriver.exe< and copy it under the directory C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\SeleniumBasic

 

I hope that solve your problem.

    RickyBologna Thanks, this solved my error. Had to copy the file to (...)\AppData\Local\SeleniumBasic; and also not just update the EdgeDriver, but the SeleniumBasic (because i was getting Error "This version of Microsoft Edge WebDriver only supports Microsoft Edge version 124 Current browser version is 123.0.2420.97", even though i had it updated; but i hdant copied the file, the documents/installation are not clear about this NEEDED STEP to use MS Edge Driver. So, THANK YOU.
