Can someone help me with the required configuration settings?

Answer 1

To launch Microsoft Edge browser in IE mode and navigate to a website e.g. http://www.bing.com you can use the following configuration and settings:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerOptions;

public class IEDriverSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {        
        InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
        ieOptions.attachToEdgeChrome();
        ieOptions.withEdgeExecutablePath("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);
        driver.get("http://www.bing.com");
    }
}
