selenium: [🐛 Bug]: Unable to obtain MicrosoftEdge using Selenium Manager

What happened?

Yet another “Unable to obtain … using Selenium Manager” after upgrading to version 4.11.0.

In my case the error occurs when I call CreateDefaultService() without passing the webdriver location path parameter (in .NET project).

It works only on the development machine but not when deployed by ClickOnce. It also works when I pass the location of the webdriver executable to CreateDefaultService(), e.g. CreateDefaultService("C:\\webdriver\\msedgedriver.exe"); .

Context:

• Visual Studio 2022
• .NET / C# / VSTO (MS Office 2010)
• x86 build (MS Office Add-In)
• x64 machine
• ClickOnce deployment

I have tried to build the latest nightly pre-release but this was not successful at all. So I couldn’t say, whether the bug has been fixed meanwhile.

How can we reproduce the issue?

EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions() { };
edgeOptions.AddArgument("no-sandbox");
edgeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
EdgeDriverService edgeService = EdgeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
EdgeDriver edge = new EdgeDriver(EdgeService, edgeOptions);
