Hi guys,
Part of the research I’m doing with regards to the phasing out of Internet Explorer and transitioning to Edge, is to find out whether we can execute our automated scripts on Edge. This work is specifically for the execution of the scripts, not development.
Unfortunately there is no way to programmatically enable compatibility mode in the Edge browser. However, it is possible to set those values manually and I believe through changes in the Group Policy.
I wanted to reach out to you guys to give you the heads-up on how important this work is; and to ask for your support to get some resources aligned to help us out.
What I suspect we need to do is, to create a special policy group entry –whether by name or any other parameter … I’m not sure, that would launch the browser in compatibility mode by default. Once this is accomplished, then I would modify my automation scripts to launch the browser (Edge) and log into one of our Test environments (QR3, QR4, etc.) and then attempt to execute our regular tests.
If we are successful in executing tests on the Edge browser under compatibility mode, then we would take those settings and apply them to the Jenkins servers (master and slave), and then test whether the Jenkins server behave the same way.
This being said, we have tried Use Internet Explorer Driver to automate IE mode in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Docs and RWEHMs (microsoft.com) as well as using setting-default and running it compability mode. but everything fails, please help
