Older Internet Explorer #1063

Open ScottFreeCode opened 7 years ago

ScottFreeCode commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to test on AppVeyor using versions of Internet Explorer older than 11 (directly, as opposed to through some additional server such as SauceLabs), and if so does anyone know what's involved or where some good guides are? I am particularly interested in testing JavaScript with Karma, if that makes any difference.

Currently, it's impossible as it's tied to operating system which is always Windows Server 2012 R2. But IE 11 is the latest one, no?

ScottFreeCode commented 7 years ago

Well, in some sense, the latest IE is the "new" Edge browser; but on the other hand, I'm more concerned (relatively) about testing things on older versions of IE than newer (since newer is more standards-compliant and less likely to do anything unexpected when coding toward modern browsers in general).

I guess I will look into whether Microsoft allows downloading specific IE versions and whether they could be installed in a scripted fashion, and if I discover a solution I'll post it here.

Thanks!

I believe the only supported way from MS to test older IE versions is through their own VMs https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
