Edgedriver returns a 404 error

2022-02-14_15-56-10

Since this weekend (02/12) we get an error when trying to initiate a driver for MSEdge: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

What does this mean?

Edge browser version: 98.0.1108.50 Selenium version: 4.1.0 WebDriverManager version: 2.12.3

        public IWebDriver GetEdgeDriver()
        {
            _driverManager.SetUpDriver(new EdgeConfig());
            EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions
            {
                AcceptInsecureCertificates = true,
            };
            var edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(options);
            edgeDriver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
            return edgeDriver;
        }

We did not change anything about our UITest setup. The driver for Chrome (also using WebDriverManager) works just fine.

For temporary solution we can try this also. You can match the browser version and download the drivers. new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new EdgeConfig(), VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser);

@rosolko, yes that’s what I want, to download the latest driver and that’s what is failing. The source code indicates that is the Url it uses to get the latest driver. I have a full generic framework for qa automation and in it, I have a driver library that heavily relies on this nuget package since I don’t wanna be constantly updating my framework and updating all the projects that uses it.

I used to just do this :

var path = new WebDriverManager.DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new WebDriverManager.DriverConfigs.Impl.EdgeConfig());

then the path would be used to create a very specific edge service setup. Now in the mean time, I’ve decided to put this temporary patch until the main issue is fixed :
