This is the issue --

• Change log for IEDriverServer was updated 3 months ago to v4.16.0
• Last release is from 6 months ago for v4.14.0

Please provide
Links to check

Links come from entry in $_WD_SupportedBrowsers

[mlipok]

So the solution is to just wait until the appropriate version is available for download?

[Danp2]

Yes, unless someone can come up with a more reliable way to retrieve this webdriver that works with the current functionality of _WD_UpdateDriver.

[mlipok]

So, since this is beyond our scope, should we consider this issue closed for our project?

[Danp2]

I suggest leaving it open to prevent further reports on the same issue.

Is it a valid consideration to skip the support of the IE driver variant in the near future? Or do you think it's good to support that driver as long as possible? I am just curious what you both think of 😇 ?

Best regards

As long as possible, as long selenium support it.
