I'm launch Microsoft Edge in IE mode using Selenium Java.
Can someone help me with the required configuration settings?
To launch Microsoft Edge browser in IE mode and navigate to a website e.g. http://www.bing.com you can use the following configuration and settings:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerOptions;
public class IEDriverSample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
ieOptions.attachToEdgeChrome();
ieOptions.withEdgeExecutablePath("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);
driver.get("http://www.bing.com");
}
}
The code below open a new blank window
any solution?
tanks!
Chrome Version 90.0.4430.72 (Official Build) (32-bit)
ChromeDriver 90.0.4430.24
and tried with version
Chrome version 100.0.4896.127
\command line code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application>chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222 -user-data-dir="D:\Programing\Programing App\chromedriver_win32\chromedata"
\ java code:
package selenium1;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class Chromeoptiontest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"D:\\Programing\\Programing App\\oldChromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions option = new ChromeOptions();
option.setExperimentalOption("debuggerAddress", "127.0.0.1:9222");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(option);
}
}
It's officially not supported.
However, there is some working code which claims to support this:

I'm new to this site and I would like to request your help and expert opinion on this issue.
I'm currently trying to run a simple code using Netbeans and Selenium, but everytime I run the code I get the error "Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException: invalid argument: user data directory is already in use, please specify a unique value for --user-data-dir argument, or don't use --user-data-dir"
This is the code I'm trying to run, something weird is that I can successfully run the same code on a different computer.
package selenium.test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class SeleniumTest {
private static WebDriver driver = null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\\Users\\Kevin\\Documents\\Selenium\\Driver\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get ("https:\\www.google.com");
}
}
Chrome Version: 77.0.3865.90
ChromeDriver Version: 77.0.3865.40
Netbeans: 8.2
Thank you very much for your help
Use ChromeOptions. You can specify a directory that's not your user's directory:
ChromeOptions co = new ChromeOptions();
co.addArguments("user-data-dir=C:\\Some\\valid\\data dir\\");
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import init.Constants;
public class TestSelenium {
private static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+Constants.getChromeDriver());
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am getting the error as below
Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402 (536cd7adbad73a3783fdc2cab92ab2ba7ec361e1) on port 45163
Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.
The chrome browser is opening but the url is not coming up.
I am using
Chrome driver - 72.0.3626.69
WebDriver - 3.0
You can use bonigarcia dependency for your automation. Then you don't need to keep chromedriver.exe or setting up system variables. It will do all the configurations automatically for all the platforms and all the browsers as well.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0</version>
</dependency>
Below is a sample class to get chrome browser instance. You can modify this class as per your requirement.
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class DriverFactory {
public static WebDriver getDriver() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
return new ChromeDriver();
}
}
I have tested this with Selenium 3.14.0 and Chrome Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)
You mentioned using Chrome driver - 72.0.3626.69 but error shows Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402. Check if you have correct chrome driver.
The possible reasons:
Old selenium (download 3.14.xx from https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/)
older chrome driver (consider update to the latest chromedriver https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=73.0.3683.68/)
Chrome browser version mismatch (check the browser version and chromedriver compatibility at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads/version-selection)
Older Java version (latest Java version 11.0.2)
it does not open because you have not specify the path of the chromedriver.exe file
please find the below code snippet.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class TestChrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
// Initialize browser
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open facebook
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
Try to first set the Chrome driver path before calling the Chrome driver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
Try to set chrome options:
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--whitelist-ip *");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
Step 1: Check your browser version with your webdriver version on this page: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Step 2: If after followed above step till you have the same issue then follows the below method:
public class TestSelenium {
private static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","user.dir");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am new to automation with selenium and trying to run a basic program to launch Firefox and open Google.com. But I get Firefox launched with "about:blank&utm_content=firstrun" Please help. Am on Windows 10 and Firefox version is: 48.0 (latest). I have the latest Selenium drivers and JRE versions too.
Here is my code:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

}
