Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

MSEdgeDriver

An NPM wrapper for Chromium-based MS Edge Driver.

The module detects Edge browser version, installed on the local system and downloads the driver of the same version.

Install

npm install ms-chromium-edge-driver

Or download the source and run

node lib/install.js

The package fetches MS Edge browser binary for path and version. Then it downloads the driver of the same version.

The package supports MacOS(darwin) and Windows. Linux based platforms are not supported since there is no MS Edge browser released on it yet.

Usage

import { installDriver } from 'ms-chromium-edge-driver';
import { Builder } from 'selenium-webdriver';
import edge from 'selenium-webdriver/edge';

const edgePaths = await installDriver();
const edgeOptions = new edge.Options();
edgeOptions.setEdgeChromium(true);
edgeOptions.setBinaryPath(edgePaths.browserPath);
const driver = await new Builder()
  .forBrowser('MicrosoftEdge')
  .setEdgeOptions(edgeOptions)
  .setEdgeService(new edge.ServiceBuilder(edgePaths.driverPath))
  .build();

Custom binaries url

To use a mirror of the MSEdgeDriver binaries use PATH variable EDGEDRIVER_CDNURL. Default is https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net.

EDGEDRIVER_CDNURL=https://<mirror address> npm install ms-chromium-edge-driver

Custom browser binary path and driver version

To override the default binary path use the npm config property npm_config_edge_binary_path.

npm install ms-chromium-edge-driver --npm_config_edge_binary_path=/path/to/Microsoft Edge

Another option is to use the PATH variable EDGE_BINARY_PATH

EDGE_BINARY_PATH=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe

On Windows there is an option to pass custom HKEY by using the PATH variable EDGE_HKEY:

EDGE_HKEY=SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Current\\Version\\Uninstall\\Microsoft Edge

In addition, custom driver version can be specified with the npm config property npm_config_edgedriver_version

npm install ms-chromium-edge-driver --npm_config_edgedriver_version=80.0.361.103

Another option is to use the PATH variable EDGEDRIVER_VERSION

EDGEDRIVER_VERSION=80.0.361.103

If both browser binary path and version are provided, the package will skip binary fetch step and start with the driver download.

Custom driver binary

To get the msedgedriver from the filesystem instead of a web request use the npm config property npm_config_edgedriver_path.

npm install ms-chromium-edge-driver --npm_config_edgedriver_path=/path/to/msedgedriver.exe

Or add property into your .npmrc file.

npm_config_edgedriver_path=/path/to/msedgedriver.exe

Another option is to use the PATH variable EDGEDRIVER_PATH

EDGEDRIVER_PATH=/path/to/msedgedriver.exe

If both the binary path and driver path are provided, the package will return it skipping browser fetching and driver download steps.

Download driver during npm install

Driver is not downloaded during npm install by default.

To change this behaviour set the npm config property npm_config_edgedriver_download_on_install

npm install ms-chromium-edge-driver --npm_config_edgedriver_download_on_install=1

Another option is to use the PATH variable EDGEDRIVER_DOWNLOAD_ON_INSTALL

EDGEDRIVER_DOWNLOAD_ON_INSTALL=1
