Selenium Edge WebDriver (Chromium) – session not created: No matching capabilities found

I’m trying to run a Selenium test with Java and Edge driver (based on Chromium).

The version of my Edge Dev installed on Windows 10 is 83.0.478.37 (Official build dev 64-bit):

Selenium Version : 3.141.59

I’m using webdrivermanager setup for this and used the example provided here.

I tried many options it includes without using webdriver manager but still gives the error.

Without Using Webdriver Manager

System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")
                            + "\drivers\msedgedriver.exe");

EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();

chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("disable-gpu");
chromeOptions.setBinary("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe");
edgeOptions = edgeOptions.merge(chromeOptions);

remDriver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions);

AND followed other solutions from here

Am i missing something?

Answer

Fixed it with little tweaks, and used the WebdriverManager.

Observed an issue with WebdriverManager, it is downloading a different version of edgedriver and eventually it is failing because of the driver/browser incompatibility.

Check the browser version against the available driver version. If both are different, set the edge driver version like below.

In my scenario – Edge Browser Version is 84.0.522.49 but its downloading 84.0.524.0

WebDriverManager manager = WebDriverManager.edgedriver();
manager.config().setEdgeDriverVersion("84.0.522.49");
manager.setup();
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
driver = new EdgeDriver(options);
