Cannot interact with elements while using Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer

[robertcorman89]

I tried to write a test that can be run on five different browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and IE. So far, I managed to succeed with Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, but I encountered some problems with the last two of them, meaning that the Edge and IE browsers open when the test starts, but IE cannot execute .click() command while Edge cannot perform any of the Nightwatch actions. I want to mention that I tried different versions of edge, ie or selenium drivers, but I ended up with the ones added below, which are the latest stable versions released. Please see the details in the following lines:

My Nightwatch test

searchForNightwatch.js

```js module.exports = { sampleTest: function(browser) { var googleSearchScreen = browser.page.googleSearch(); googleSearchScreen .assert.title('Google') .waitForElementVisible('@searchBar') .setValue('@searchBar', "nightwatchjs") .click('@submitSearch') } } ```

Run with command

$ node nightwatch --env edge,ie

Verbose output

debug.log

```txt For Edge: Error while running .isElementDisplayed() protocol action: TypeError [ERR_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS]: Request path contains unescaped characters at new ClientRequest (_http_client.js:151:13) edge at Object.request (http.js:46:10) edge at HttpRequest.createHttpRequest ...
