Run the Website using Microsoft edge browser

[MRAJ]

its running but behind the browser one script is running in command prompt which is keep on running with destroying results, not sure what it is.

[Danp2]

That would be the webdriver console. You can hide it with _WD_ConsoleVisible() if you desire

[Danp2]

Just noticed that you are calling _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities) twice in your script. Remove the 2nd one.

[MRAJ]

i removed the 2nd one, but when i am running the script , background in Command shell so many scripts are running until i am not manually closing the Command shell..not sure why it is running behind the browser..any idea.

[Danp2]

Didn't I already answer that question above?

[MRAJ]

This is my script now, any changes in order or anything need to add.

 

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession, $sElement

SetupEdge()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com")

Func SetupEdge()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose')

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "' & StringReplace (@ProgramFilesDir, "\", "/") & '/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe", "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false}}}}'
EndFunc

There are so many data running behind in command shell GUI while running the script.

[Danp2]

@MRAJ I'm not sure that I understand your concern. Does the script run successfully for you? Why are you so focused on the webdriver console? I explained above how you can hide it if it bothers you so much.

When exiting your script, you should be cleaning up with something like this --

_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

That will close the browser session and remove the webdriver console.

Thanks script is running and opening the browser

Sorry i didnt see your old post.. now i configured the script as below to hide the Webdriver console using _WD_ConsoleVisible(), but still console is running behind and closing after the browser shut down.

Is there any way to hide the console. 

 

 

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession, $sElement
_WD_ConsoleVisible()
SetupEdge()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com")

Func SetupEdge()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose')

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "' & StringReplace (@ProgramFilesDir, "\", "/") & '/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe", "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false}}}}'

EndFunc

_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

You need to put _WD_ConsoleVisible() after _WD_Startup()

On the side note, please use this tool, when you post code.

Do not mix func code with main code, put all you main code BEFORE the functions.

Forgot to tell you, put some sleep (2000) between to give time to the driver to load.  Like this :

SetupEdge()
_WD_Startup()
Sleep(2000)
_WD_ConsoleVisible()

 

[MRAJ]

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"


Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession, $sElement

SetupEdge()
_WD_Startup()
Sleep(2000)
_WD_ConsoleVisible()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com")

Func SetupEdge()

_WD_Option('Driver', 'msedgedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose')

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": "' & StringReplace (@ProgramFilesDir, "\", "/") & '/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe", "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false}}}}'

EndFunc

_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

I tried the above script and changed Sleep(2000), still first Console is opening and wait for 2 seconds then browser is opening.

[Danp2]

You could also set the following at the beginning of your script --

$_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_None ; Could also use $_WD_DEBUG_Error

This will cause the console window to be hidden by default, but it will reduce the amount of information written to the Scite console for debugging purposes.

[MRAJ]

Awesome Dan..Thanks console is not visible now.

Thanks Nine:)

Anyone figure out how to prevent MSEdge from pinning a shortcut to the taskbar every time it gets launched via msedgedriver?

Edit: I solved it by creating a master_preferences file. More details found here.
