What happens when you run on the terminal |
|
Sorry, I meant, what happens when you run |
|
If you turn on logging and run it, we can get more insight — https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/logging/ If you have a driver on PATH and don't specify anything, Selenium will first locate the Edge Browser then will take the driver it finds on PATH and tell it to use the browser it found. If you specify the browser location, Selenium will use the provided browser and take the driver it finds on PATH. The behavior should be exactly the same if the location provided matches the location Selenium finds by default. |
|
I wonder if it is actually a ChromeDriver renamed to MSEdgeDriver by accident. I do not see how else a MSEdgeDriver binary can open Chrome. |
|
Yes, this is the error you would get for a chromedriver trying to open Edge, but that doesn't track with how the issue has been reported, so I'm interested in seeing logs. |

I have checked again and the webdriver is correct. The webdriver log with default settings is: Selenium Manager binary found at: /my/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/linux/selenium-manager

Microsoft Edge WebDriver was started successfully.And if I specify the webdriver path, the webdriver log is: Started executable: `/my_path_to/msedgedriver` in a child process with pid: 1665688

There seems no errors during launching the msedgedriver. Maybe something happened when the msedgedriver launches the edge browser. How could I get the detailed info? |
|
Here's how you get the driver logs for Edge - https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/browsers/edge/#service |
|
I set the msedgedriver log level to ALL. from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service
executable_path = '/my_path_to/msedgedriver'
service = Service(executable_path=executable_path, log_path='my.log', service_args=['--log-level=ALL', '--readable-timestamp'])
driver = webdriver.Edge(service=service)
driver.quit()It's strange that the msedgedriver indeed launches /usr/bin/google-chrome, even if I set Edge as the default browser. [08-10-2023 16:12:03.238302][INFO]: Starting Microsoft Edge WebDriver 115.0.1901.200 (64b0164e9f6a43a530acd52f6525ddd6fe990817) on port 58289

A few things...
But also, Selenium 4.11 should not be affected by this bug! Selenium locates the correct browser, gets the right driver, then passes the location of the browser to the driver. Since your logs aren't showing that, something isn't right in your setup. Update to Selenium 4.11 and remove existing drivers from your system and it should do what you expect. |

Hi, @fz0000. You can see if the feature is passing in the Web Platform Tests. If it is something new, please create an Issue with the MSEdgeDriver team. Feel free to comment the issues that you raise back in this issue. Thank you. |
|
Yes, a similar issue has been tracked in MSEdgeDriver team recently, if anyone meets the same issue, please refer to MicrosoftEdge/EdgeWebDriver#102 for details. Thanks everyone. |

What happened?
I have installed both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu.
Default setting(i.e.
webdriver.Edge()without params) works correctly.But when I use a specific webdriver path, Chrome is launched unexpectedly.
So I have to specify the msedge binary location too, as a workaround:
btw, this issue does NOT occur on Windows.
How can we reproduce the issue?
