How to Connect the Chromium DebuggingAddress while using IE Mode?

Harsha C S 6

Just like 'ie.edgechromium' and 'ie.edgepath' is there any addtional option available to connect to already opened Chromium Edge in IE mode similar to Chromium Edge?

EdgeOptions eo = new EdgeOptions();
eo.DebuggerAddress = "localhost:8888"

Hi @Harsha C S

There's a prerequisite to automate Edge IE mode:

Make sure to close all the Edge browser tabs and window before running the code.

You can refer to this answer. If we don't close all the windows, it will cause the code to fail.

I think we can't attach the Edge IE mode window to an already opened Edge, as we even can't open an Edge window before we run the Edge IE mode code.

@Yu Zhou-MSFT : Thanks for the answer. But when I try to open my application in IE mode, it is working as expected. On clicking a button, the original window will close and new window will launch. When I try to get driver.WindowHandles.Count it shows as 0. Driver is not retaining instance of newly opened window. So I thought of attaching the existing Edge in IE mode just like we do in Chromium edge using DebuggerAddress option.

Is there any way you can address why driver variable is not retaining the newly opened window?

I tried the same way which you suggested in the above answer.

Thanks
