Contributing

Most the process is automated, but I still need to check MS Edge Driver's page and execute the batch file manually. I am trying to do this once a month. If you would like to have faster releases, please contact me to become a contributor.

Cross-platform building and publishing

Edge driver developers normally releases versions with win32, win64, mac and linux binaries, but sometimes they decide to release one version with just linux, or just mac and windows binaries. The automated process can only make nuget packages of full releases.

How to include the driver file into published files?

"msedgedriver(.exe)" isn't included in published files on default configuration. This behavior is by design and follows https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jsakamoto/nupkg-selenium-webdriver-chromedriver/ design. For more info reffer to guides at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jsakamoto/nupkg-selenium-webdriver-chromedriver.

To include published files, define PublishMsEdgeDriver property with value is "true" in MSBuild file (.csproj, .vbproj, etc...) to publish the driver file instead of define compilation symbol.

  <Project ...>
    ...
    <PropertyGroup>
      ...
      <PublishMsEdgeDriver>true</PublishMsEdgeDriver>
      ...
    </PropertyGroup>
...
</Project>
