I have trouble running MS Edge test on MAC using Selenium Remote web driver.

I tried to set System property for edge binary as below:

dc = DesiredCapabilities.edge();
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "/Users/username/Softwares/Work/jars/msedgedriver");
dc.setCapability("edge_binary","/Applications/Microsoft Edge Beta.app");

I checked that msedge driver version and version of MS Edge browser that I have installed. Both are - 80.0.361.48

This is the log on Selenium node:

020-02-11 18:06:37.533:INFO:osjshC.ROOT:qtp1800659519-12: org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.WebDriverServlet-59309333: Initialising WebDriverServlet 18:06:37.551 INFO - Found handler: org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.commandhandler.BeginSession@47c6497e 18:06:37.555 INFO - /session: Executing POST on /session (handler: BeginSession) 18:06:37.632 INFO - Capabilities are: Capabilities {MicrosoftEdge_binary: /Applications/Microsoft Edg..., browserName: MicrosoftEdge, platform: MAC, version: } 18:06:37.633 INFO - Capabilities {MicrosoftEdge_binary: /Applications/Microsoft Edg..., browserName: MicrosoftEdge, platform: MAC, version: } matched class org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.ServicedSession$Factory (provider: org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriverService) Starting MSEdgeDriver 80.0.361.48 (e1a3ff36578e440880567e6adcbeab38ec2956fa) on port 31883 Only local connections are allowed. Please protect ports used by MSEdgeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

Exception that I get when running code is as

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot find MSEdge binary Build info: version: '3.7.1', revision: '8a0099a', time: '2017-11-06T21:07:36.161Z' System info: host: '****-MacBook-Pro.local', ip: 'fe80:0:0:0:14d9:68c6:7d2c:87a%en0', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.15.2', java.version: '1.8.0_152' Driver info: driver.version: unknown

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot find MSEdge binary 
Build info: version: '3.7.1', revision: '8a0099a', time: '2017-11-06T21:07:36.161Z' 
System info: host: '****-MacBook-Pro.local', ip: 'fe80:0:0:0:14d9:68c6:7d2c:87a%en0', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.15.2', java.version: '1.8.0_152' 
Driver info: driver.version: unknown

...implies that the program was unable to locate MSEdge binary within your system.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

  • Though you are using compatable versions of MS Edge Driver v80.0 and MS Edge Browser v80.0
  • Your Selenium Client version is 3.7.1 of 2017-11-06T21:07:36.161Z which is almost 2.5 years older.
  • But your JDK version is 1.8.0_152 which is pretty ancient.

So there is a clear mismatch between JDK v8u152 , Selenium Client v'3.7.1 , MS Edge Driver v80.0 and the MS Edge Browser v80.0

Solution

Ensure that:

  • JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u241.
  • Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
  • Take a System Reboot.
  • Execute your @Test as non-root user.
