I can't navigate with Edge using Selenium

Question

I'm trying to start Edge browser with Java Selenium:

if(browser.equals("edge")) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", driverPath+"\\MicrosoftWebDriver\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe");
driver = new EdgeDriver();
}

but i have this exception: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

My Edge version is:Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0,Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18363

I tried using both MicrosoftWebDriver.exe and msedgedriver.exe file, they don't work. How can I make it work?

Answer 1

It looks like that the code is ok, while WebDriver and Edge versions were not matching. I installed Edge from https://www.microsoft.com/it-it/edge then I went to https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/ and downloaded the correct Driver version. I have to use msedgedriver.exe

My code is:

if(browser.equals("edge")) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", driverPath+"\\MicrosoftWebDriver\\msedgedriver.exe");
driver = new EdgeDriver();
}
