Downgrade (Selenium.WebDriver and Selenium.Support) nuget packages to 3.141.0....your issue will be resolved.

For now, WinAppDriver is not supported by Selenium 4 due WinAppDriver is not yet W3C compliant.
#pawansinghncr You should install Selenium Pre 4.0 (e.g. version 3.4) for all Selenium libraries. Also, set up an appropriate appium nuget.

C# Automation Edge Browser - using Edge Driver - auto testing program - Failure: No matching capabilities found (SessionNotCreated)

Greetings stackoverflow community,
I am trying to compile and run the programcode from this website:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7bdafd2a-be91-4f4f-a33d-6bea2f889e09/c-sample-for-automating-ms-edge-chromium-browser-using-edge-web-driver
I followed all the instructions listed in the link and set my paths were I wanted them.
The program and the edge driver starts running, but then an error appears.
"An error exeption "System.InvalidOperationException" appeared in WebDriver.dll.
Further Inforamtion: session not created: No matching capabilities found (SessionNotCreated)"
This is the code from my program, more or less copied from the link above:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Edge;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var anaheimService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(#"C:\edgedriver_win64", "msedgedriver.exe");
// user need to pass the driver path here....
var anaheimOptions = new ChromeOptions
{
// user need to pass the location of new edge app here....
BinaryLocation = #"
C: \Program Files(x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe "
};
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(anaheimService, anaheimOptions); -- error appears at this line
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https: //google.com/");
Console.WriteLine(driver.Title.ToString());
driver.Close();
}
}
}
I would really appreciate your help!
Best Regards
Max

The article you refer to is a bit out of date. Now we don't need to use ChromeDriver to automate Edge. You can refer to the official doc about how to use WebDriver to automate Microsoft Edge.
I recommend using Selenium 4. Here I install Selenium 4.1.0 NuGet package and the sample C# code is like below:
using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Edge;
namespace WebDriverTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var options = new EdgeOptions();
options.BinaryLocation = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe";
var driver = new EdgeDriver(#"C:\edgedriver_win64", options);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com");
Console.WriteLine(driver.Title.ToString());
driver.Close();
}
}
}

C# SELENIUM: Can't access URL after setting custom FIREFOX profile

I am trying to connect to profile, its successfully connect to custom firefox profile, but the problem after that is command FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options); no more works, works only if i remove options then no custom profile.
the before last line returns error OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: 'Process unexpectedly closed with status 0' or The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver timed out after 60 seconds, it only works if I remove options inside FirefoxDriver: FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
Also, doing options.AddArgument("-profile" + "C:\Users\Chill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5k2mdm2k.myprofile"); instead of spliting the 2 arguments does not launch firefox in the right profile.
Or even options.AddArgument("no-sandbox") or options.AddArgument("-no-sandbox") or options.AddArgument("--no-sandbox") doesn't works, also --profile instead of -profile does not open the right profile also, here is my code anyway:
using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium; // nuget package name: Selenium.WebDriver
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox; // nuget package name: Selenium.WebDriver.GeckoDriver
namespace ConsoleApp2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.AddArgument("-profile");
options.AddArgument(#"C:\Users\Chill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5k2mdm2k.myprofile"); /* type about:profiles in firefox bar to create and manage firefox profiles, from there you will see which profile used, make sure to not use the default one and use root directory */
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options); /* code stops here and puts error after closing browser or waiting until it close itself after 60 sec */
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com/"); /* can only reach this part of code if i remove turn FirefoxDriver(options); to FirefoxDriver(); on the line upper, but no more custom profile so */
}
}
}
Hope you can help im blocked on this step for 3 days

Using these nugget versions:
<PackageReference Include="Selenium.Firefox.WebDriver" Version="0.27.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriver" Version="4.0.0-beta4" />
This works for me:
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using System;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var options = new FirefoxOptions();
var profile = new FirefoxProfile(#"C:\Users\CatalinR\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\f9n067l1.default");
options.Profile = profile;
var driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com/");
}
}
}

c# Selenium WebDriver - How to disable notifications on Facebook Page?

I am a beginner in Selenium WebDriver, and I have a problem with poping out notification on Facebook page while I'm trying to log in. I searched a lot, but i did not find anyhing usefull. I found code in java, convert into C# but it didn't work.(I hope that a did it properly) I tried something like this, but nothing. Please, help with this if you can.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Dictionary<string, object> hash = new Dictionary<string, object>();
hash.Add("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
ChromeOptions op = new ChromeOptions();
op.AddAdditionalCapability("hash",hash);
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver("path to googlewebdriver");
driver.Url = "http://facebook.com";
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
driver.FindElement(By.Id("email")).SendKeys("my email");
driver.FindElement(By.Id("pass")).SendKeys("mypassw" + Keys.Enter);
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[#id='content_container']")).Click();
}
}
}

If you simply want to disable "all" notification on chrome browser, you can use switch --disable-notifications
Code in C# to launch chrome with this switch:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--disable-extensions"); // to disable extension
options.AddArguments("--disable-notifications"); // to disable notification
options.AddArguments("--disable-application-cache"); // to disable cache
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Here's list of switches available for chrome browser: Chromium Comamnd Line Switches
Alternatively, you have options to handle alert by using this code statement:
options.UnhandledPromptBehavior = UnhandledPromptBehavior.Dismiss;
You have other options available here to accept, dismiss, ignore etc.

To disable the annoying "some-annoying-website wants to: 🔔 Show notifications", set your ChromeOptions like this:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
And pass it to your ChromeDriver:
using (var chrome = new ChromeDriver(options)) ...

ChromeOptions op = new ChromeOptions();
op.AddArguments("--disable-notifications");
Most importantly need to check the versions of Chrome Driver. Some versions it may not support.
