Configuring Microsoft Edge for Test Studio Automation
To configure Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium) for web automation with Test Studio, there are certain settings required. Complete the following steps to adjust the browser for test recording and execution.
1. Install Progress Extensions
Install the latest Edge extension from the Chrome Web Store - Progress Test Studio Extension.
Note! Currently Edge Chromium supports installing extensions from the Chrome store and this will be used until Test Studio extension is published in the official Edge store. If you face any troubles when installing or enabling the extensions please expand the Extension Install Procedure section below.
2. Browser Calibration
To ensure flawless and consistent automation process there are some settings to apply to the browser. We call this browser calibration and have implemented a feature to automatically calibrate the browser out of the box and no manual interaction is required.
If you need to double check manually, if all settings are correct, expand the Manual Configuration section below.
1. The Edge extension is not automatically installed with the Test Studio installation.
In case you haven't performed the above recommendation to install the Progress extension manually, when you first start recording against Edge, the browser will load the recording start page and will try to load the extension. If that is missing, the recorder will search for it for the set *ClientReady* Timeout (the default is 60 seconds).
2. In case the Progress extension is not yet loaded after that timeout a link to the Web Store will be displayed to install the extension.
3. By clicking on Get It Free From Chrome Web Store you will be directly navigated to the Progress extension in the Web Store.
4. By clicking the Add to Chrome button the extension will be added after confirmation.
5. The version of an installed extension could be double checked by clicking on its icon located on the right of the address bar.
