how do we pass edge option from serenity.property file ?

[varmavg]

We are getting pop up message “we couldn’t load the extensions from:” when trying to open Edge (chromium).

We handled this in chrome like chrome.switches = -disable-extensions

Just wondering if there is there anything equivalent to chrome.switches in Edge chromium to provide options in sereity.properties ?

[varmavg]

can any one help us ?

does Serenity support new Edge Chromium?

[wakaleo]

I don’t use Edge or Windows myself, so the best would be to look into the code and see what you need to do to add support for these options

[varmavg]

ok thank you

@varmavg were you able to run yours tests successfully on microsoft edge chromium browser successfully.?

[varmavg]

yes we were able to run successful tests in Edge chromium. use edge chromium 32 bit driver (x86 version) https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/

@varmavg Thanks for the quick response.
Can you let me know what is that you passed in serenity.conf file or anything that you would have done to run your tests on edge chromium browser using serenity .

[varmavg]

(1) POM.xml here is my configurations

<properties>
	<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
	<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
	<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
	<serenity.version>2.0.40</serenity.version>
	<serenity.maven.version>2.0.40</serenity.maven.version>
	<serenity.cucumber.version>1.9.31</serenity.cucumber.version>
	<tags></tags>
	<parallel.tests>4</parallel.tests>
	<webdriver.base.url></webdriver.base.url>
	<webdriver.driver>edge</webdriver.driver>
	<!-- <webdriver.driver>iexplorer</webdriver.driver> -->
	<parallel.tests>3</parallel.tests>
</properties>

(2) Serenity.properties

chrome

webdriver.chrome.driver=C:\Automation\Drivers\chromedriver.exe
chrome.switches=--start-maximized --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests --ignore-certificate-errors --disable-machine-cert-request -disable-extensions

edge

webdriver.edge.driver=C:\Automation\Drivers\msedgedriver.exe

(3) installed 32bit Edge drive (compatible with you edge version) in above location.

(4) run configuration
clean verify

@varmavg Thanks for the response.
Looks like in the latest versions of serenity ,running scenarios on chromium edge browser is not possible.

@kiranAdiga Have you tried to remove the path of the Edge webdriver of the serenity.conf. And put the following code in the object inheriting from PageObject and that all of your custom PageObject inherit from :

    static{
        System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "your/path/to/the/webdriver/msedgedriver.exe");
    }

It worked for me.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed as to be able to pass edgedriver within the serenity.config file like we do with other web drivers?

[brunofelix1711]

i am also trying to pass edge driver from edge.properties file but it was not working for me and also i tried with webdriver manager it launching the browser of different version .

errors

[main] INFO net.serenitybdd.core.webdriver.driverproviders.ProvideNewDriver - Instantiating driver
[main] INFO net.serenitybdd.core.webdriver.driverproviders.ProvideNewDriver - Driver capabilities: Capabilities {browserName: MicrosoftEdge, loggingPrefs: org.openqa.selenium.logging...}

@moebius23 Hello could you please help me with the solution that you shared before??
I Should set this
static{ System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "your/path/to/the/webdriver/msedgedriver.exe");
}
Where exactly??? I'm new in SerenityBDD and I need to run a couple of tests on Edge.
Thanks.

No, is not working through Serenity.confing file.

So in my serenity.conf file, I have set "webdriver.driver = edge".

In my project, every part of the front have its PageObject inheriting from net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject (example: NavigationPage, HeaderPage, ProductsPage, and so on). But they don't inherit directly. I have an object than inherit from PageObject, and every specialised Page inherit from. Let's call it MyProjectPage.

Then the inheritance path should look like this:
PageObject->MyProjectPage->ProductsPage

I have put the static block that we are talking about inside MyProductPage class, at the beginning.

I hope it will work for you !
