EdgeDriver

Run your Nightwatch.js tests in Edge can be achieved using the Microsoft Edge WebDriver.

Downloading EdgeDriver

Step 1. Download Microsoft Edge WebDriver - Depending on the version of your Edge Browser, download the relevant Microsoft Edge WebDriver.

Step 2. Configure the path - You can either add the path to the Microsoft Edge WebDriver binary to the system PATH or set the location in the cli_args key under the selenium key in your nightwatch.json file as follows:


"localEdge": {
       selenium_host: "127.0.0.1",
       selenium_port: 4444,
       selenium: {
           start_process: true,
           host: "127.0.0.1",
           port: 4444,
           cli_args: {
               "webdriver.edge.driver": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Web Driver\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe",
           }
       },
        desiredCapabilities: {
           platform: "Windows 10",
           browserName: "MicrosoftEdge",
           javascriptEnabled: true
       }
}

Alternatively, add the server_path in the "edge" configuration:


    edge: {
      desiredCapabilities: {
        browserName: 'MicrosoftEdge',
        'ms:edgeOptions': {
          w3c: true,
          // More info on EdgeDriver: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium/capabilities-edge-options
          args: [
            //'--headless'
          ]
        }
      },

      webdriver: {
        start_process: true,
        // Follow https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium/?tabs=c-sharp#download-microsoft-edge-webdriver
        // to download the Edge WebDriver and set the location of extracted `msedgedriver` below:
        server_path: 'C:\\Users\\user\\edgedriver\\msedgedriver.exe',
        cli_args: [
        ]
      }
    },
