Robot Framework + Selenium2Library + Microsoft Edge

[George Peng]

In the Selenium2Library the "Open Browser URL IE" works fine with IE, if I want to use Microsoft Edge browser instead, how to change the Open Browser URL ?? with the browser name? In other words, what is the name used in the Open Browser command for Edge browser?

[Mukesh T]

I could not find the browserName to be passed as argument for Edge - both in selenium2library keyword documentation as well as the _browsermanagement.py (in which the 'Open Browser' definition resides I believe).

Looks like the implementation for Edge is still missing for Selenium2Library?

PS:
I tried to open Edge in webdriver python API as below:

"driver = webdriver.Edge()"

,and it seems to work (looking at the exception it throws : "The EdgeDriver executable needs to be available in the path.")

Best,
Mukesh

Here is update: Add an entry in BROWSER_NAMES in _browsermenagement.py and couple of places so it will start edge eventually, yes, there is a Edge driver installed by default in the /Selenium folder that make it happen.

However when I run command "Open Browser URL edge", it opens a edge with the startup page, not the URL given.

Ugh

Edge has support from selenium, but the Microsoft EdgeDriver has limited functionality [1] ready. But Microsoft says that they will build full support for webdriver in the future. This may explain why not all feature's work as expected, or there might be something more which needs to be adjusted in the Selenium2Library side. Hard to say for sure because you are first one to ask for Edge support in Selenium2Library.

But it seems that you are in good progress and if you get it working, even with limited functionality, would you be interested to make a pull request and share the code?

In case anyone's counting, I would love Edge support as well...

I added Edge in my pr https://github.com/robotframework/Selenium2Library/pull/552

P.S. if u want to use driver = webdriver.Edge() without passing path to edgedriver you can place it in C:/Windows/System32

Another option for that would be to add EdgeDriver's directory path to the system path?

[dm08]

Yes, that will work as well
