Capabilities and EdgeOptions

Capabilities are options that you can use to customize and configure an EdgeDriver session. To learn about starting a new EdgeDriver session, see Automating Microsoft Edge. This article describes all supported capabilities for Microsoft Edge and provides details about passing the capabilities to EdgeDriver sessions.

Capabilities are passed to a WebDriver session as a JSON map, but it is not necessary or recommended to set them this way. WebDriver testing frameworks (such as Selenium) provide language bindings which typically have convenience methods so you don't need to configure the JSON map yourself. For example, Selenium configures capabilities through the EdgeOptions class.

To learn more about how to configure capabilities, consult the documentation for your preferred WebDriver testing framework. For more information, see Choose a WebDriver testing framework.

Using the EdgeOptions class

Create an instance of EdgeOptions, which provides convenience methods to set Microsoft Edge-specific capabilities. After you configure the EdgeOptions object, pass EdgeOptions into the EdgeDriver constructor.

var options = new EdgeOptions();
options.AddExtensions("/path/to/extension.crx");
var driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

To use capabilities that don't have an associated convenience method, use the AddAdditionalEdgeOption method. You must pass the full name of the capability and a value with the correct type. For the full list of accepted capabilities and value types, see EdgeOptions object.

options.AddAdditionalEdgeOption("wdpAddress", "remotehost:50080");

Recognized Capabilities

For standard capabilities that EdgeDriver accepts, see Selenium documentation and the W3C WebDriver standard. This article only lists capabilities specific to Microsoft Edge.

EdgeOptions object

Most Microsoft Edge-specific capabilities are exposed through the EdgeOptions object. In some languages, the capabilities are implemented by the EdgeOptions class. In other languages, the capabilities are stored under the ms:edgeOptions dictionary in DesiredCapabilities.

Capability Type Details
args list of strings List of command-line arguments to pass to the Microsoft Edge process on launch. Arguments with an associated value should be separated by an = sign (for example, ['start-maximized', 'user-data-dir=/tmp/temp_profile']). If you're launching a WebView2 app, then these arguments are passed to your app instead of the underlying Microsoft Edge browser process. To pass arguments to the browser process when launching a WebView2 app, use webviewOptions.additionalBrowserArguments instead.
binary string Path to the Microsoft Edge binary to use (on macOS, the path should be the actual binary, not just the app. for example, /Applications/Microsoft Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge).
debuggerAddress string An address of a debugger server to which to connect, in the form of hostname/ip:port, for example 127.0.0.1:38947.
detach boolean Default value = false. If false, Microsoft Edge quits when the WebDriver service shuts down, even if the WebDriver local end hasn't closed the session. If true, Microsoft Edge only quits if the WebDriver local end closes the session. If true, and the WebDriver local end doesn't close the session, EdgeDriver doesn't clean up the temporary user data folder used by the Microsoft Edge instance.
excludeSwitches list of strings List of Microsoft Edge command line switches to exclude that EdgeDriver by default passes when starting Microsoft Edge. Avoid the -- prefix for switches.
extensions list of strings A list of extensions to install on startup. Each item in the list should be a base-64 encoded packed extension (.crx).
localState dictionary A dictionary with each entry consisting of the name of the preference and the value. The preferences are applied to the Local State file in the user data folder.
minidumpPath string Directory to store Microsoft Edge minidumps. (Supported only on Linux.)
mobileEmulation dictionary A dictionary with either a value for deviceName, or values for deviceMetrics and userAgent.
perfLoggingPrefs dictionary An optional dictionary that specifies performance logging preferences. For more information, see perfLoggingPrefs object.
prefs dictionary A dictionary with each entry consisting of the name of the preference and the value. The preferences are only applied to the user profile in use. For examples, see the Preferences file in the user data folder of Microsoft Edge.
wdpAddress string An address of a Windows Device Portal server to connect to, in the form of hostname/ip:port, for example 127.0.0.1:50080. For more information, see Remote Debugging - Windows 10 devices.
wdpPassword string Optional password to use when connecting to a Windows Device Portal server. Required if the server has authentication enabled.
wdpUsername string Optional user name to use when connecting to a Windows Device Portal server. Required if the server has authentication enabled.
wdpProcessId integer The required process ID to use if attaching to a running WebView2 UWP app, for example 36590. This information can be found in browserProcessId on http://<Device Portal URL>/msedge.
webviewOptions dictionary An optional dictionary that can be used to configure the WebView2 environment when launching a WebView2 app. For more information, see webviewOptions object.
windowsApp string Application user model ID of a Microsoft Edge app package to launch, for example Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MSEDGE. Use windowsApp instead of binary when connecting to a Windows 10X device or emulator using Windows Device Portal.
windowTypes list of strings A list of window types that are displayed in the list of window handles. For access to Android webview elements, include webview in the list.

perfLoggingPrefs object

The perfLoggingPrefs dictionary has the following format. All keys are optional.

Key Type Default value Details
bufferUsageReportingInterval positive integer 1000 The requested number of milliseconds between DevTools trace buffer usage events. For example, if 1000, then once per second, DevTools reports how full the trace buffer is. If a report indicates the buffer usage is 100%, a warning is issued.
enableNetwork boolean true To collect (or not collect) events from Network domain.
enablePage boolean true To collect (or not collect) events from Page domain.
traceCategories string (empty) A comma-separated string of Microsoft Edge tracing categories for which trace events should be collected. An unspecified or empty string disables tracing.

webviewOptions object

The webviewOptions dictionary is used to configure the WebView2 environment when launching a WebView2 app. It has the following format. All keys are optional.

Key Type Default value Details
browserExecutableFolder string (empty) Path to a folder containing a fixed version WebView2 runtime to use. For more information about using a fixed version runtime distribution with WebView2, see Distribute a WebView2 app and the WebView2 Runtime.
userDataFolder string (empty) Path to the user data folder that WebView2 will use. If userDataFolder isn't specified, Microsoft Edge WebDriver will create a temporary user data folder. For more information about managing the user data folder with WebView2, see Manage the user data folder.
additionalBrowserArguments list of strings List of command-line arguments that WebView2 will pass to the browser process on launch. Arguments with an associated value should be separated by an = sign (for example, ['start-maximized', 'log-level=0']).
releaseChannelPreference string Preferred WebView2 evergreen runtime distribution to use. Can be "stable" or "canary".

Returned capabilities

The following list contains all of the Microsoft Edge-specific capabilities that EdgeDriver returns when you create a new session.

Capability Type Details
msedge.msedgedriverVersion string The version of EdgeDriver.
msedge.userDataDir string The path to the user data folder used by the Microsoft Edge instance.
