I am trying to run automated tests using Selenium by launching Microsoft Edge in headless mode. Despite researching and attempting a few configurations, I haven’t found a reliable solution yet. I’m looking for information on the specific settings and command-line arguments needed to properly initialize Edge without a graphical interface. Detailed steps or an alternative approach to correctly configure and run these Selenium tests would be very helpful. Any insights or sample guidelines are much appreciated.
hey, have you tried configuring edgeoptions? i used options.add_argument(‘headless’) and options.add_argument(‘disable-gpu’) before launch. check if your edgedriver version matches browser. might be a version mismatch causing issues, try updating them and see if it works for you.
I have worked with Selenium on headless Edge setups over the past few months. In my experience, creating and configuring an EdgeOptions object is the foundation, but ensuring you include the correct command-line argument, specifically ‘–headless’, is essential. I also encountered issues when there was a mismatch between the Edge driver and the browser version, so keeping both updated helped solve several problems. Detailed logging was invaluable for troubleshooting, and checking the environment configuration further ensured that all settings were correctly applied.
In my experience running Selenium tests in a headless Edge environment, attention to initialization details is critical. I encountered issues where residual configurations interfered with test execution until I ensured a clean environment before each run. I found that setting not only the headless mode argument but also adjusting timeouts and checking session persistence helped avoid unexpected behavior. Moreover, a mismatch between driver and browser versions proved problematic; constant verification saved me time and troubleshooting efforts. Refining these settings allowed for a more stable and repeatable testing process.
hey, i used an experimental capability and made sure my edgedriver was on path. a fresh driver reinstall in a clean env helped me out. maybe double-check your setup and try that approach, hope it works for u.
Based on my experience, I found that troubleshooting headless Edge with Selenium often requires a more detailed investigation of your environment. I encountered issues that were resolved by not only ensuring the driver and browser versions were aligned but also by enabling verbose logging to pinpoint configuration problems. Occasionally, I temporarily ran tests in non-headless mode to verify behavior and fine-tune options before switching back to headless. Checking driver path settings and reinstating experimental capabilities further enhanced reliability in my automation scripts.
