Edgedriver

This is a simple package that downloads Edgedriver and provides a node api for accessing the path to the binary. We want to keep this with minimimal dependencies.

How to use?

import driver from '@sitespeed.io/edgedriver';

// Downloads Edgedriver the first time, then returns the path to the binary
const binPath = await driver.ensureBinPath();
// launch edgedriver from binPath

The package has no install script, so npm install does not download Edgedriver. If you need the driver before the first run, for example when you build a Docker image or on a machine without internet access during tests, download it with:

node node_modules/@sitespeed.io/edgedriver/install.js

binPath() returns the path without a download.

You can override where you download the Edgedriver by setting process.env.EDGEDRIVER_BASE_URL. You can skip downloading Edgedriver by setting process.env.EDGEDRIVER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD.

You can download another Edgedriver version by setting process.env.EDGEDRIVER_VERSION.

EDGEDRIVER_VERSION=81.0.4044.20 node install.js

If you don't set a version, the version in the package.json is used.
