Please add support for Edge (chromium based)

[RafalSkorka]

Currently when trying to run Nightwatch 1.3.2 with the newest Edge based on Chromium I get this error:

Error: An error occurred while trying to start the Nightwatch Runner: Unsupported browser: microsoftedge. There is no available driver.

Since the browser is now based on Chromium, it should support the same set of webdriver commands as Chrome.

I've workaround the issue with downloading the new Edge driver and adding to config for Edge only webdriver options with path to the driver .EXE file. However it works only on Windows system. Try also change MicrosoftEdge to Edge.

thanks @pawlakmaly! I have worked around this for now by setting the browser name to 'chrome' and providing the path to new ms edge driver like this:

const msedgedriver = require('msedgedriver');
const edgeChromium = fs.existsSync('c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe');
const EDGE = {
    desiredCapabilities: {
        alwaysMatch: { 'ms:edgeOptions': { args: ['--headless'] } },
        browserName: edgeChromium ? 'chrome' : 'MicrosoftEdge'
    },
    selenium: {
        'start_process': !edgeChromium
    },
    webdriver: {
        'default_path_prefix': '',
        'server_path': edgeChromium ? msedgedriver.path : "c:\\Windows\\System32\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe",
        'start_process': edgeChromium,
        'use_legacy_jsonwire': false
    }
};
