Edge specific functionality

Microsoft Edge is implemented with Chromium, with the earliest supported version of v79. Similar to Chrome, the major version number of edgedriver must match the major version of the Edge browser.

All capabilities and options found on the Chrome page work for Edge as well.

Options

Starting an Edge session with basic defined options looks like this:

• Java
• Python
• CSharp
• Ruby
• JavaScript
• Kotlin

        EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
        driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

    options = EdgeOptions()
    driver = webdriver.Edge(options=options)

            var options = new EdgeOptions();
            var driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

    options = Selenium::WebDriver::Options.edge
    @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :edge, options: options

      let options = new edge.Options();
      driver = await env.builder()
        .setEdgeOptions(options)
        .setEdgeService(new edge.ServiceBuilder(edgedriver.binPath()))
        .build();

Arguments

The args parameter is for a list of Command Line Switches used when starting the browser. Commonly used args include --start-maximized and --headless=new

Add an argument to options:

• Java
• Python
• CSharp
• Ruby
• JavaScript
• Kotlin

        EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--headless=new");
        driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

    options = EdgeOptions()
    options.add_argument("--headless=new")

            var options = new EdgeOptions();
            options.AddArgument("--headless=new");

    options = Selenium::WebDriver::Options.edge(args: ['--headless=new'])
    @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :edge, options: options

Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode

Microsoft Edge can be driven in “Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode”, which uses the Internet Explorer Driver classes in conjunction with Microsoft Edge. Read the Internet Explorer page for more details.
