With Chrome you can add options when creating the driver. You just do
options = Options()
options.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH\TO\DRIVER, options=options)
But for some reason when trying to do the same with Microsoft Edge
options = Options()
options.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Edge(PATH\TO\DRIVER, options=options)
I get this error
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'options'
For some reason Edge's driver doesn't accept any other parameters than the file path. Is there any way to run Edge headless and add more options just like in Chrome?
options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True
options.add_argument("headless")
options.add_argument("disable-gpu")
Try above code, you have to enable chromium to enable headless

This works only for new edge chromium not for edge legacy versions. In legacy versions headless is not supported
Full code
from msedge.selenium_tools import EdgeOptions
from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge
# make Edge headless
edge_options = EdgeOptions()
edge_options.use_chromium = True # if we miss this line, we can't make Edge headless
# A little different from Chrome cause we don't need two lines before 'headless' and 'disable-gpu'
edge_options.add_argument('headless')
edge_options.add_argument('disable-gpu')
driver = Edge(executable_path='youredgedriverpath', options=edge_options)
webdriver.Edge
does not accept any options
so i switched it to the following: It worked for me.
# imports
from selenium import webdriver
from msedge.selenium_tools import EdgeOptions
# options
options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("disable-gpu")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(
executable_path="resources/msedgedriver.exe", options=options)
browser.get(gen_token)
The version of Microsoft Edge that I am using is:
Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.774.57 (Official build) (64-bit)
This worked for me.
for Edge browser
options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True
options.add_argument('--allow-running-insecure-content')
options.add_argument("--ignore-certificate-errors")
self.wd = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install(), options=options)
self.wd.maximize_window()
For Edge headless
options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("disable-gpu")
options.add_argument('--allow-running-insecure-content')
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
self.wd = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install(), options=options)
self.wd.maximize_window()
