On Windows 10 (64bit, python3.6.8), I'm unable to open link via driver's get
method in case link was filled without http://
or https://
protocol specified.
I use selenium==3.141
and msedge-selenium-tools-3.141.2
with python.
Microsoft Edge version 85.0.564.51 (same as driver version).
The following code raises error:
from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge, EdgeOptions
options = EdgeOptions()
options.set_capability('platform', 'Windows')
options.use_chromium = True
path = r'<correct path to driver>'
driver = Edge(executable_path=path,
service_args=None,
options=options,
desired_capabilities={})
driver.get('google.com')
Error: selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidArgumentException: Message: invalid argument (Session info: MicrosoftEdge=85.0.564.51)
Browser state on error - browser is launched and points to data:,
url.
After some investigation, I found that in case I change driver.get('google.com')
to driver.get('http://google.com')
, issue is not reproducible.
After I tried to run the same code on another machine, it worked pretty well without any errors. For me it looks like some issues with setup or Parallels VM I used on first machine
