Running tests in Edge browser

[Scobee]

Hello, Is it possible to run tests on Edge browser using Mink Selenium2 driver and Selenium 4 grid ?

I've tried using:

default:
    suites:
      default:
        filters:
          tags: ~@wip
        paths: ['%paths.base%/storage/features']
    gherkin:
      cache: ~
    extensions:
      Behat\MinkExtension:
        base_url: http://www.google.com
        javascript_session: selenium2
        browser_name: edge
        selenium2:
          capabilities:
            browserName: MicrosoftEdge
            browser: edge
            extra_capabilities:
              edgeOptions:
                args:
                  - "--no-sandbox"
                  - "--disable-dev-shm-usage"
                  - "--headless"
                  - "--disable-gpu"
                  - "--dns-prefetch-disable"
                  - "--disable-setuid-sandbox"
                  - "--window-size=1920,1080"
                  - "--remote-debugging-port=9222"

But this gives me some errors saying that the DevToolsActivePort file does not exist:

Is there any way to make this work?

@Scobee , I've tried googling [SEVERE]: bind() failed: Cannot assign requested address (99) and found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55844788/how-to-fix-severe-bind-failed-cannot-assign-requested-address-99-while .

Maybe other search results would prove useful.

@aik099 thanks for your answer! I've read basically everything there was online, but could not find a real solution Although, to be honest, I'm just trying to learn if IT SHOULD work (not necessarily how to make it work .. bc if it should, I'll spend more time with it)

So .. is this config: behat + mink selenium2 driver + selenium 4 grid + edge browser possible ?

According to https://www.browserstack.com/guide/launch-edge-browser-in-selenium Edge (since the 2020 year) can be used with Selenium.

I recommend trying changing something to see if it works:

1. try a different web browser (e.g. Firefox, Google Chrome)
2. try a different selenium grid version (I know, that Selenium 2 works, but Selenium 3 might have issues, never used Selenium 4)
3. try a different EdgeDriver version (it might be specific to the used Edge version, like with GoogleChrome)
