Selenium WebDriver Java 启动带有解压扩展的 Edge Chromium

Question

I need to use Selenium to launch the Edge (Chromium) browser. I can do this without any problems.

However, I want to launch the said browser with an unpacked extension installed. I have the path for the extension. I'm able to do this in Chrome by adding an argument called --load-extentsion=<path> in my ChromeOptions . However, the same doesn't work for Edge Chromium.

Reading the docs for the MsEdgeDriver, I found this:

So, I tried to package the extension using this button shown in the image below:

And used the code below:

EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();
File extension = new File(extensionPath + File.separator + "my-extension.crx");
byte[] fileContent;
WebDriver webDriver;
try {
    fileContent = Files.readAllBytes(extension.toPath());
    edgeOptions.setCapability("extensions",Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(fileContent));
    webDriver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

THe browser launches fine, but my extension is not loaded.

I need to be able to load an unpacked extension , without having to publish it on Chrome or Edge app stores.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks Sriram

You should add the extension like this:

    var outPutDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
    var extensionName = "3.1.3_0.crx";

    var options = new EdgeOptions();
    options.AddExtensionPath($@"{outPutDirectory}\{extensionName}");

Alternatively you can use the AddExtension(string pathToExtension)
