Is there anyway to update the new edge browser using selenium web driver? Can we do it by setting any option or capabilities?
My present code:
EdgeOptions op= new EdgeOptions();
op.UseChromium = true;
op.BinaryLocation = #"msedge.exe";
var msedgedriverDir = #"webdriver location";
var driver = new EdgeDriver(msedgedriverDir, op);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("my site");
I try to search online and on this site for a solution but did not get any working solution.
We can use the Selenium web driver to automate the websites. We cannot access the update related settings of the Edge browser using the selenium web driver. So we cannot update the Edge browser by using the selenium web driver.
If you want to control the Edge updates for many users then you can try to deploy the Edge browser using Configuration Manager and try to manage updates by using it.
For a single user, by default Edge will download and install the updates automatically. You can control the updates using group policy.

Hello,
I want to achieve this by having an option inside the EdgeDriver but I cant seem to find it anywhere on the map?
I am trying to open a page in IE mode inside Edge with Selenium and EdgeDriver.
Is there a way to achieve this great thing? [pun intented]
I can see 2 questions in this thread.
Is there a way to activate IE mode in Edge Options?
There is no way to activate IE mode bypassing the Edge options parameter in the Selenium Edge driver.
I am trying to open a page in IE mode inside Edge with Selenium and EdgeDriver. Is there a way to achieve this great thing?
Yes, it is possible to automate the IE mode in the new MS Edge browser using the Selenium web driver.
The new Microsoft Edge allows you to run IE11 validation for legacy sites in addition to your modern experiences. To run your IE11 tests in Microsoft Edge, download the IEDriverServer from Selenium. Then you must pass in a capability to put Microsoft Edge into IE Mode and then run your tests.
Because this capability puts the whole browser into IE11 Mode, you cannot simultaneously test content that should render in the modern Chromium engine, but you should be able to run all of your IE11 tests and validate the rendering in Microsoft Edge. Note that this code requires an update to IEDriverServer which should be included in the next release of Selenium.
After you download the new IEDriverServer from SeleniumHQ and follow the directions for the “Required Configuration” as documented here, you can run the following code to launch the new Microsoft Edge in IE11 mode and run some tests:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var dir = "{FULL_PATH_TO_IEDRIVERSERVER}";
var driver = "IEDriverServer.exe";
if (!Directory.Exists(dir) || !File.Exists(Path.Combine(dir, driver)))
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to find {0} in {1} folder.", dir, driver);
return;
}
var ieService = InternetExplorerDriverService.CreateDefaultService(dir, driver);
var ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions{};
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgechromium", true);
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgepath", #"\\msedge.exe");
var webdriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieService, ieOptions, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
webdriver.Url = "http://www.example.com";
}
Output:
Notes:
Make sure you are using the latest version of the IE driver server.
I suggest making a test with the latest version of the Stable Edge browser.
Try to pass the full path of the Edge browser in the 'ie.edgepath' capability. For example:
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgepath", #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe");
Make sure you close all the already opened instances and tabs of the Edge browser before running the code. Otherwise, it will generate an error.

Below code (which is in VB.NET, but you can easily modify it to C#) will start Chromium Edge in IE Mode
Dim ieService = InternetExplorerDriverService.CreateDefaultService("DIRECTORY_PATH_HAVING_IEDriverServer.exe", "IEDriverServer.exe")
Dim ieOptions = New InternetExplorerOptions
ieOptions.IgnoreZoomLevel = True
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgechromium", True)
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgepath", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe")
Dim driver = New InternetExplorerDriver(ieService, ieOptions, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60))
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://example.com")
You can download IEDriverServer from https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/
I have written some ATPs using Selenium Web Driver in C#. Currently I am using ChromeDriver to execute my scripts. But I want to take the driver information(like chrome, firefox...) dynamically from some source(like config file) and create driver object accordingly.
One way to do that is getting the driver information from config file and instantiating driver object accordingly using switch case...
Is there any other way to do that??
Thanks in advance.
Running Locally
I have created the function for choosing the driver dynamically based on browser value from config file, using the Switch case that you suggested. I believe this is the only way to dynamically initialize driver locally.
Running Remotely
In case, you want to create driver remotely, say on Saucelabs or Selenium Grid, there is a better approach than using the switch case. It can be initialized using the DesiredCapability object.
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.setBrowserName(browserName); //browser value is dynamically taken
capability.setPlatform(platform);
capability.setVersion(version);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(remoteURL),capability);
return driver;
I am testing a website using selenium web driver. The particular site contains nested iframes. I cannot access content of Iframes, because of the Same Origin Policy. Therefore I disabled web security in chrome web driver and access those contents using following Jquery script.
$(‘#data’).find(‘iframe’).contents().find(‘html’)
I achieved this in chrome by setting these features when it is initializing.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--allow-file-access-from-files");
options.AddArguments("--disable-web-security");
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
(Domain of iframes are differ with my hosted domain.)
Now I need to do this in Firefox. I followed instructions in this URL. But that is not working.
about:config -> security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy -> false
Then I tried with these edits
about:config -> security.mixed_content.block_active_content -> false
about:config -> security.mixed_content.block_display_content -> false
Then I loaded Firefox profile and init web driver using that.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(#"C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0nan0gbv.default");
IWebDriver driver = new OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox.FirefoxDriver(profile);
I haven't got what I expected using above edits. Error was Permission denied to access property 'document'
Then I tried set these settings into new Firefox profile(not use default one in my machine) and load it.
OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox.FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.SetPreference("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", true);
profile.SetPreference("security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy", false);
profile.SetPreference("security.mixed_content.block_active_content", false);
profile.SetPreference("security.mixed_content.block_display_content", true);
IWebDriver driver = new OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox.FirefoxDriver(profile);
Then I got this error and couldn't able to find proper solution.
Preference security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy may not be overridden: frozen value=False, requested value=False
I found this question has many ways to overcome SOP. But those are not answers for my problem.
There should be way to achieve this. I am using Firefox 29.0.1
I use Selenium WebDriver in my C# winforms application. When I run application and open Firefox, my addons are disabled. How to leave the addons enabled?
You can explicitly set the desired addons to ON. For example, if you want to enable firebug, find out the location of the zip or xpi of the addon and then use the following code:
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
ffprofile.AddExtension("C:\\firebug.xpi");
ffprofile.SetPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "1.11.4");
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
The only thing I did to resolve is just by adding following to the pom.xml and it worked fine for me. Currently I'm running tests on Firefox 43.0.3 with Selenium 2.48.2. and also by have a dependency for the Firefox browser in the pom.xml.
org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-firefox-driver 2.48.2
org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 2.48.2
After using this if you fail to use your add on than drop message I will provide you some more options but hope fully you will get result from this.
I'm trying to use Selenium WebDriver to automatically login in to a site with a user-name and password. I've done my research and I don't believe this feature is supported by WebDriver, so I need to find another way. The site I'm trying to automate logging into is located here.
When prompted to login a popup window comes up that doesn't seem to be part of the browser. I'm using Firefox and Chrome. It seems Windows API may be required? I already tried passing the credentials in the URL but that didn't work. Also tried sendkeys, but received a Windows exception that the application was not accepting Windows messages. I also tried switching the current handle using driver.windowhandles but the popup doesn't seem to be a new handle.
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm kinda stuck. The preliminary code to get to the popup window is:
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.portal.adp.com");
string currentWindow = driver.CurrentWindowHandle;
IWebElement userLogin = driver.FindElement(By.Id("employee"));
userLogin.Click();
The popup you are seeing is prompted by web server and is a authentication prompt. Selenium doesn't support this operation.
One of the way to handle this limitation is to pass user and password in the url like like below:
http://user:password#example.com
More info available here : http://aleetesting.blogspot.in/2011/10/selenium-webdriver-tips.html
I wanted my answer out there because I think I've solved it. This answer does not require passing the credentials through the URL (for those of you that are unable to like me). It also does not require any custom Firefox Profiles or extensions to be installed or included with the solution or installed onto the browser eliminating cross-machine compatibility issues.
The issue with me was that the authentication could not be completed via passing the credentials through the URL because the login was behind a proxy.
So, I turned to windows automation toolkits and found AutoIT. Using AutoIT and Selenium, you can login automatically by sending the username and password to the windows dialog that appears. Here's how (note the steps below are for c#:
1 - Download AutoIT from http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/
2 - Add the autoit .dll to your project references.
Right click on references, select Add Reference. Next click the browse button and browse to the dll location (most default installations it will be c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoItX\AutoItX3.dll), and add to project.
3 - use AutoIT and Selenium like this (assuming your web driver is already initialized):
//Initialize AutoIT
var AutoIT = new AutoItX3();
//Set Selenium page load timeout to 2 seconds so it doesn't wait forever
Driver.Manage().Timeouts().SetPageLoadTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));
//Ingore the error
try
{
Driver.Url = url;
}
catch
{
return;
}
//Wait for the authentication window to appear, then send username and password
AutoIT.WinWait("Authentication Required");
AutoIT.WinActivate("Authentication Required");
AutoIT.Send("username");
AutoIT.Send("{TAB}");
AutoIt.Send("password");
AutoIT.Send("{ENTER}");
//Return Selenium page timeout to infinity again
Driver.Manage().Timeouts().SetPageLoadTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(-1));
Anyway, that's it, and it works like a charm :)
Also note that there are some special characters that need to be escaped in AutoIT using the sequence "{x}". For example, if your password is "!tRocks", you'd need to pass it into AutoIT as "{!}tRocks".
Happy automating.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.SetPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);
profile.SetPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", hostname);
Driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
hostname is your URL (example.com) then try to
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(http://user:password#example.com);
I just got done working on a prototype project that is supposed to handle exactly this kind of situation.
It utilizes BrowserMob, a popular open source proxy, to perform the authentication.
SeleniumBasicAuthWrapper Hope it helps! It is still a work in progress, but hopefully we'll get any kinks or defects ironed out in the near future.
