[DEFECT] Incorrect LATEST_STABLE build version link for Edge on Linux in webdriver_manager=3.5.0

[rsavu98]

Code from driver.py

class EdgeChromiumDriver(Driver):
    def __init__(self, name, version, os_type, url, latest_release_url):
        super(EdgeChromiumDriver, self).__init__(name, version, os_type, url,
                                                 latest_release_url)
        self.browser_version = ""

    def get_latest_release_version(self):
        # type: () -> str
        if os_name() == OSType.LINUX:
            latest_release_url = "https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net/LATEST_STABLE"
        else:
            major_edge_version = chrome_version(ChromeType.MSEDGE).split(".")[0]
            latest_release_url = self._latest_release_url + '_' + major_edge_version
        resp = requests.get(latest_release_url)
        validate_response(resp)
        return resp.text.rstrip()
        

Currently, there are only Beta and Dev versions available for Linux, but the latest_release_url points to the latest stable build version which is not available for Linux.
It should be either latest_release_url = "https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net/LATEST_BETA" or latest_release_url = "https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net/LATEST_DEV" since only these Edge builds are available for Linux.

Please let me know if you need any more details. I'll be happy to provide them.
Thanks

@rsavu98 please provide more details

• os package of linux
• edge browser version available now at this os repo (and installed on your machine)
• latest_stable version of edge driver what you saw

I will try to reproduce on virtual machine and find a solution if there is an issue.

Hi @aleksandr-kotlyar, thanks for a quick reply!

• os package of Linux - Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
• Browsers version installed in my machine: Edge Beta - Version 95.0.1020.14. Edge Dev - Version 96.0.1032.0.
• The code points me to the 94.0.992.38 latest_stable version
  The error I'm getting:

[WDM] - There is no [linux64] edgedriver for browser  in cache
[WDM] - Trying to download new driver from https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net/94.0.992.38/edgedriver_linux64.zip

I copied the link from the error above and here's the result.

@rsavu98 how do you check edge version at ubuntu? What command do you use?

Upd: and how do you install them? What commands apt-get ... smth-edge-word-with-what-word?

[rsavu98]

@aleksandr-kotlyar I check the Edge version in the Settings of the browser.

I've installed the Edge browser using this link https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download?platform=linux-deb and then double-click on the downloaded .deb file to complete the installation.

@aleksandr-kotlyar, thanks a lot for a quick fix! It works now.
