Unable to start msedgedriver in macos catalina

Sri Harsha 1

Hi There,

Starting the msedgedriver(86,87) in macos throws an error dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libc++.dylib.

Can you provide any info/resolutions for this!

Thank you !

Are you using msedgedriver on selenium to automating Edge Chromium in macos? If so, the error shows in which line of code? Please provide a minimal code snippet which can reproduce the issue or provide the steps to reproduce the issue. Besides, you need to use the right msedgedriver version. I suggest you can try to check if the version of the msedgedriver is the same as the Edge browser you use.

Hi There,

Thanks for the reply. No am not using msedgedriver to run Selenium scripts.

Am trying to start msedgedriver locally and hit the WebDriver api commands via postman.

Edge browser version: 86.0.622.38
Driver version : V 86.0.622.38 download from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/ for mac 64
MacOs version: 10.15.7.

after setting in path, Starting the msedgedriver in terminal > msedgedriver gives me error

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libc++.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/sriharsha/Desktop/drivers/msedgedriver
Reason: image not found
zsh: abort msedgedriver

Please let me know if any more info is required!

Thank you !

I tested it on macos 10.15.6 and the msedgedriver can work well. I didn't add it to path but use the full path to start it in terminal and it can work:

I suggest you to run msedgedriver using the full path in terminal to see if it can work.

Hi There,

Thanks for the reply. Am sure of the issue but reinstalling the edge-browser fixed the issue. looks like the third party software cleaning app in my mac removed few/core files from the edge while cleaning up.

Thank you !
