Running chromium edge web driver

Issue

I am facing an issue while setting binary path for Chromium edge browser Below is java code example to set binary path for the same

chromeOptions.setBinary(
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe");

EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions().merge(chromeOptions);
driver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions); 

Is there any way i can set the same with PHPUnit-Selenium

Answer 1

You could try to pass path to the binary when starting Selenium server like in this guide:

$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/path/to/msedgedriver.exe

Then still use chrome() to initiate the browser:

$capabilities = DesiredCapabilities::chrome(); 
$driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, $capabilities, 5000);

This approach is similar to the solution in this answer using java. You could have a try.
