Selenium Edge Driver

Selenium Edge Driver is a Microsoft Edge WebDriver implementation for Selenium WebDriver browser automation. It extends the ChromiumDriver base class and provides Edge-specific functionality including EdgeOptions for browser configuration, EdgeDriverService for managing the EdgeDriver executable, and full WebDriver API compatibility.

Package Information

  • Package Name: selenium-edge-driver
  • Package Type: maven
  • Language: Java
  • Installation: 
    <dependency>
  <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
  <artifactId>selenium-edge-driver</artifactId>
  <version>4.33.0</version>
</dependency>

Core Imports

import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriverService;

Basic Usage

import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;

// Basic usage with default options
EdgeDriver driver = new EdgeDriver();

// With custom options
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
EdgeDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

// Navigate and interact
driver.get("https://example.com");
String title = driver.getTitle();
driver.quit();

Architecture

Selenium Edge Driver is built around several key components:

  • EdgeDriver: Main WebDriver implementation extending ChromiumDriver for Edge browser control
  • EdgeOptions: Configuration class extending ChromiumOptions for Edge-specific browser options and capabilities
  • EdgeDriverService: Service management class for EdgeDriver executable lifecycle and configuration
  • EdgeDriverInfo: Metadata provider and factory for EdgeDriver instances with capability matching
  • Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP): Advanced browser control via AddHasCdp for debugging and performance monitoring
  • Casting Support: Media streaming capabilities via AddHasCasting for Chromecast functionality

Capabilities

Edge Driver

Core WebDriver implementation providing full browser automation capabilities for Microsoft Edge. Supports both regular Edge browser and WebView2 applications.

public class EdgeDriver extends ChromiumDriver {
    public EdgeDriver();
    public EdgeDriver(EdgeOptions options);
    public EdgeDriver(EdgeDriverService service);
    public EdgeDriver(EdgeDriverService service, EdgeOptions options);
    public EdgeDriver(EdgeDriverService service, EdgeOptions options, ClientConfig clientConfig);
    
    @Beta
    public static RemoteWebDriverBuilder builder();
}

Edge Driver

Edge Options

Configuration and capability management for EdgeDriver with Edge-specific options and WebView2 support.

public class EdgeOptions extends ChromiumOptions<EdgeOptions> {
    public static final String CAPABILITY = "ms:edgeOptions";
    public static final String LOGGING_PREFS = "ms:loggingPrefs";
    public static final String WEBVIEW2_BROWSER_NAME = "webview2";
    
    public EdgeOptions();
    public EdgeOptions useWebView(boolean enable);
    public EdgeOptions merge(Capabilities extraCapabilities);
}

Edge Options

Edge Driver Service

Lifecycle management for the EdgeDriver executable with extensive configuration options for logging, networking, and operational behavior.

public class EdgeDriverService extends DriverService {
    public static final String EDGE_DRIVER_NAME = "msedgedriver";
    public static final String EDGE_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY = "webdriver.edge.driver";
    
    public EdgeDriverService(File executable, int port, Duration timeout, List<String> args, Map<String, String> environment);
    public String getDriverName();
    public String getDriverProperty();
    public Capabilities getDefaultDriverOptions();
    
    public static EdgeDriverService createDefaultService();
    
    public static class Builder extends DriverService.Builder<EdgeDriverService, Builder> {
        public Builder withAppendLog(boolean appendLog);
        public Builder withBuildCheckDisabled(boolean noBuildCheck);
        public Builder withLoglevel(ChromiumDriverLogLevel logLevel);
        public Builder withSilent(boolean silent);
        public Builder withVerbose(boolean verbose);
        public Builder withAllowedListIps(String allowedListIps);
        public Builder withReadableTimestamp(Boolean readableTimestamp);
    }
}

Edge Driver Service

Edge Driver Info

Metadata provider and factory for EdgeDriver instances with capability matching and WebDriver integration.

public class EdgeDriverInfo extends ChromiumDriverInfo {
    public String getDisplayName();
    public Capabilities getCanonicalCapabilities();
    public boolean isSupporting(Capabilities capabilities);
    public boolean isSupportingCdp();
    public boolean isSupportingBiDi();
    public boolean isAvailable();
    public boolean isPresent();
    public Optional<WebDriver> createDriver(Capabilities capabilities);
}

Common Usage Patterns

WebView2 Automation

EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.useWebView(true);
EdgeDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

Custom Service Configuration

EdgeDriverService service = new EdgeDriverService.Builder()
    .withVerbose(true)
    .withLogFile(new File("edge-driver.log"))
    .withAllowedListIps("127.0.0.1")
    .build();
EdgeDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(service);

Remote WebDriver Builder

EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
RemoteWebDriver driver = EdgeDriver.builder()
    .oneOf(options)
    .address("http://localhost:4444")
    .build();
