Not able launch multiple edge browser/instance in Selenium? Selenium allows only single instance for edge?

Question

Not able to launch multiple edge browser in selenium. I want to open second instance once I have done actions required in first application and cross check the same in another application without closing the first instance.

Answer 1

This is a known limitation of the driver for EdgeHTML-based versions of Microsoft Edge. It is not a problem with Selenium per se , but one with the driver, which is created an maintained by Microsoft. Criticism, complaints, and bug reports should be directed there. Having said that, note that the driver for Chromium-based Edge, now in beta , do not have this limitation.

Answer 2

This is a known issue , at the moment you can only run 1 instance of Microsoft Edge. That is a limitation of MicrosoftWebDriver. You could feedback this issue at the bottom of this site and create a pull request on github about this issue.
