Is there a Selenium WebDriver available for the Microsoft Edge browser?

Question

As of the date of this post the name \"Microsoft Edge\" has just been officially announced as the default browser for the new Windows 10.

It may be premature to ask

Answer 1

The Microsoft Edge driver for Selenium can be automatically downloaded (for Java) using the library webdrivermanager as follows:

EdgeDriverManager.getInstance().setup();

The variable webdriver.edge.driver is also exported by webdrivermanager with the proper path of MicrosoftWebDriver.exe.
