Steps C# Edge driver and Selenium Test Project

Create NUnit or MSTest project

In project manager, install pacakge: Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools

Package will install:

• Microsoft.Edge.SeleniumTools

Navigate to: WebDriver - Microsoft Edge Developer

Download latest Microsoft Edge Driver.

Open downloaded Microsoft Edge Driver zip file and save msedgedriver.exe to a local drive.

Must change driver's name from msedgedriver.exe to MicrosoftWebDriver.exe. 

**Changing name is a must or an error message:

Reference EdgeDriver within Test fixture.

        public void Test1()
        {

            //Open Browser
            IWebDriver webDriver = new EdgeDriver(@"C:\Selenium\EdgeDriver");
            //Navigate to site
            webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://yoopergreens.com");

            //Assert.Pass();
        }

This post is for the purpose of my notes only and sometimes a rant.

“I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready and then it is inevitable. To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.”
