Here is my pom.xml

\<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java --\>
\<dependency\>
\<groupId\>org.seleniumhq.selenium\</groupId\>
\<artifactId\>selenium-java\</artifactId\>

\<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager --\>
\<dependency\>
\<groupId\>io.github.bonigarcia\</groupId\>
\<artifactId\>webdrivermanager\</artifactId\>
\<version\>5.3.1\</version\>
\</dependency\>

Here is my script :

WebDriverManager.edgedriver().setup();

EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();

options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(options);

driver.get("https://google.com");
System.out.println("success");
driver.quit();

This is happening when I'm using webdrivermanger and even I declare the path of the webdriver.

What I noticed is that the edgedriver can only run properly when it is in headless mode. (Which is weird)

In Mac, I can see the edge browser is appearing on the menu bar. However, it crashed after a few seconds.

I can verify this is happening to me. Selenium-Java version 4.7.2, webdrivermanager 5.3.1

Driver msedgedriver 109.0.1518.55

Thank you for reporting this. I have verified that Edge and msedgedriver 109.0.1518.52 work on an intel based Mac. I haven't been able to test on an M1 Mac yet. Adding this to our team's internal backlog for investigation.

I am also facing this issue, only in Selenium 4 versions
