Compatible Microsoft EDGE version for latest selenium webdriver

Question

Currently I'm using:

<selenium.version>4.0.0-alpha-5</selenium.version>

for Microsoft EDGE browser version 103.0.1264.62 (64 bit) and all my automation scripts are working perfectly . When i'm updating the selenium version with latest one i.e 4.3.0 then scripts are started failing:

INFO: Detected upstream dialect: W3C
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

Could you please provide a minimal code snippet which can reproduce the issue? I test with selenium server 4.3.0 and Edge version 103.0.1264.71, it works well. But my Java version is newer which is 1.8.0_341. It would be better that you upgrade your Java and Edge to the latest version and test again. — Yu Zhou, Jul 26 '22 at 05:55

Use the latest Selenium dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.0</version>
</dependency>

Additionally ensure that JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u331.

Try folowing:-

        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
            <version>4.3.0</version>
        </dependency
    <!--

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
        <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
        <version>5.2.1</version>
    </dependency>

Then try this:-

String browserName = "EDGE";
//String chromeProfilePath = prop.getProperty("ChromeCookies"); //Use cookies

if(browserName.equals("chrome")){
    WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("start-maximized");
        //options.addArguments("chrome.switches", "--disable-extensions");
        //options.addArguments("user-data-dir=" + chromeProfilePath);
        //options.addArguments("--headless");
        //options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
        options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches",Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));    
        contr0l = new ChromeDriver(options);
}
else if (browserName.equals("Edge")) {
    WebDriverManager.edgedriver().setup();
    contr0l = new EdgeDriver();
}
else if (browserName.equals("Firefox")) {
    WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
    contr0l = new FirefoxDriver();
}
else if (browserName.equals("Safari")) {
    WebDriverManager.safaridriver().setup();
    contr0l = new SafariDriver();
}

I tried what you suggested but still not working for me . WebDriverManager.edgedriver().setup(); driver = new EdgeDriver(); System.out.println("APP URL :"+app_url); driver.get(app_url); Browser gets launched but failed to print "APP URL" thats mean code not reaching to driver.get(app_url) — Little bird, Jul 26 '22 at 08:41
