Hello,
I need an advice regarding WebView2 automation testing.
We have recently started a project which is a VSTO add-in with WebView2-based UI along with O365 add-in. Hence, we now have to consider automation testing for both apps on Desktop. Of-course, we can test both apps using native approach, but is there a way to use Selenium Web-Driver for this purpose?
I have tried this guide Automate and test WebView2 apps with Microsoft Edge WebDriver - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Learn to connect to my WebView2 in Outlook add-in, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Please let me know if there are any suggestions.
Best regards

Hi @Lisa Yurchenko ,
Are you trying to launch your WebView2 app via WebDriver or attach the WebDriver to your app?
Hi @Anonymous , I am trying to attach the WebDriver to my application, which is an Outlook Add-in with WebView2-based UI
Hi @Lisa Yurchenko ,
Got it. Have you seen any error message during your attempt? And make sure the remote debugging port is consistent.

That is possible to do, but you need to follow all the steps in the Microsoft guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/how-to/webdriver. I have it working on my end but it does have glitches though.
you can reach out if you would like to know how in detail
