Edge opens with wrong address

[nickserv]

When providing a URL and the -k flag, in some cases Edge will stay at example.com instead of switching the tab to the given URL. It seems like this could be a network related issue, since one of the users experiencing this was unable to access example.com, though I can access the website and I don't have this issue myself. Please see the comments of nickserv/karma-edge-launcher#27 for more information.

hello gents.

I can relate to this one. in my case , the solution from nickserv/karma-edge-launcher#27 doesn't even work, so I volunteer to repro and help you in any way.

my karma opens EDGE but I will not move further than this :

running something like this : MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrTbLXHKu8 -k

gives me this : Couldn't find Edge URL with URL: 01313080
Found

Hi everyone,

I started experiencing this issue myself. Edge launches example.com and hangs.

Cheers

Had this same issue today. Edge would launch but since http://example.com does not resolve on our network, edge just sat there and edge-launcher reported it cannot start edge. Had to change the hardcoded uri in the program and recompile. Maybe we can add another parameter or change how this matches edge tabs.

Does Edge have an equivalent to about:blank that would work offline as a workaround?

nickmccurdy: I started up Edge without a url, and the application does not have an about:blank like IE. The problem is that the launcher is using an exact match to a hardcode url to find the correct PID for the edge tab. Maybe we can make the matching more robust to account for the DNS issue I was experiencing. I need to check technet for various error states for edge.

Good point. In that case, wouldn't it be easier to fix it so it starts with the correct URL initially (without example.com or an other placeholders)?

Hi, I'm having this issue with my karma-edge-launcher, any tips on how to fix it?

I am facing the same issue, when I try to run karma start --browsers Edge. I am redirected to example.com which keeps on opening and closing and end with the following:

05 08 2020 17:08:47.367:INFO [karma-server]: Karma v5.1.1 server started at http://localhost:9876/ 05 08 2020 17:08:47.368:INFO [launcher]: Launching browsers Edge with concurrency unlimited 05 08 2020 17:08:47.375:INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Edge 05 08 2020 17:08:49.240:INFO [Edge 18.17763 (Windows 10)]: Connected on socket RAAAAEQWE89 with id 5345390 05 08 2020 17:08:49.688:ERROR [launcher]: Edge crashed. undefined 05 08 2020 17:08:49.688:ERROR [launcher]: Edge stdout: Waiting for process 40420 to exit... 05 08 2020 17:08:49.690:ERROR [launcher]: Edge stderr: 05 08 2020 17:08:49.693:INFO [launcher]: Trying to start Edge again (1/2). 05 08 2020 17:08:51.651:WARN [Edge 18.17763 (Windows 10)]: Disconnected (0 times)reconnect failed before timeout of 2000ms (transport close) Edge 18.17763 (Windows 10) ERROR Disconnectedreconnect failed before timeout of 2000ms (transport close)

The point mentioned in https://github.com/nickmccurdy/karma-edge-launcher/issues/27 regarding downloading edge-launcher 1.2.0.0, run MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe -k URL works fine with the format MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe URL -k. But yet can t run the unit tests.

It was working fine atleast locally till a month back but now the edge browser just keeps on crashing.

Please help on how to fix it.
