Version

1.50.1

Steps to reproduce

Get msedge package from following command:

 npx playwright@1.50.1 install --force msedge

Launching msedge:

  var args = new List<string> {
                    "--no-sandbox",
                    "--disable-setuid-sandbox",
                    "--disable-dev-shm-usage",
                    "--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas",
                    "--no-first-run",
                    "--no-zygote",
                    "--process-per-site",
                    "--start-maximized",
                    "--disable-gpu"
                    };
                    if (launchChromeIncognitoMode)
                    {
                        args.Add("--incognito");
                    }
                    launchOptions.Args = args.ToArray();
                    var message = string.Empty;
                    if (browserType.IsAnaheim())
                    {
                        message = ".MicrosoftEdge";
                        launchOptions.ExecutablePath = Path.Combine(browsersPath, "msedge", "msedge-win", "msedge.exe");
                    }
                    browser = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync(launchOptions);
}

Expected behavior

Msedge browser launching without exceptions.

Actual behavior

Does it work without specifying any args/executablePath? Why do you have msedge in a different location?

[maneet057]

Tried using Channel = "msedge" to launch edge window and it is throwing "threw exception: Microsoft.Playwright.PlaywrightException: Chromium distribution 'msedge' is not found" exception. Is there anything else that can help?

[mxschmitt]

You can install Edge via npx playwright install msedge - what does this yield to?

[maneet057]

We are running test on an Azure VM with D series, and if needed we can login into machine to debug.

[mxschmitt]

This does not answer the question - why does npx playwright install msedge not work / what does it yield to?

[maneet057]

When trying to install using npx playwright install msedge I can see latest msedge binaries in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application and the following message:

║ ATTENTION: "msedge" is already installed on the system! ║
║ ║
║ "msedge" installation is not hermetic; installing newer version ║
║ requires removal of a current installation first. ║
║ ║
║ To uninstall current version and re-install latest "msedge": ║
║ ║
║ - Close all running instances of "msedge", if any ║
║ - Use "--force" to install browser: ║
║ ║
║ npx playwright install --force msedge ║

I'll close it for now since it was verified in a private conversation that a normal fresh "npm init playwright" project with Edge works. So this is most likely related to the environment or way how you bundle Edge. This is outside of the scope for Playwright. We only look at global installed Edge versions.
