The downloads are happening from Beta channel and the beta channel has no build for mac

+1 for this, For mac m1 pro, its downloading the windows driver "exe" file

selenium/msedgedriver/mac-arm64/105.0.1343.42/msedgedriver.exe: cannot execute binary file

I have just tested this in an macOS M1. Indeed, the downloaded driver for an Edge 105 is edgedriver_arm64, nevertheless, this driver works for driving Selenium tests:

Microsoft Edge WebDriver was started successfully.

So, I do not understand the difference with the M1 version.

Moreover, WebDriverManager uses the metadata provided my msedgedriver to find out the proper driver version. In the case of Edge 105 for macOS, the announced driver version is found reading this file:

https://msedgedriver.azureedge.net/LATEST_RELEASE_105_MACOS

Which, as you can see, is 105.0.1343.34, and not 105.0.1343.33.

This has recently started to happen to me as well. Seems to be related to the edge version. For example 101.0.1210.53 correctly downloads the mac version of the webdriver and 105.0.1343.53 downloads the windows version.

As a quick fix (workaround), I've downloaded the proper msedgedriver for version 105 from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/ and I extracted it to the default location that webdriver manager uses (/Users/YOUR_USER/.cache/selenium/msedgedriver/mac-arm64/105.0.1343.53)

Native M1 builds for Mac are now available too https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/EdgeWebDriver/issues/17#issuecomment-1258326485

still present for v106, I had to manually download the m1 mac version from microsoft and put in the .cache folder

[bonigarcia]

Thanks for reporting. I am in peek of work now, but I try to solve and release a new version it as soon as possible.

@bonigarcia I experienced the same problem on my Mac M1. I found a solution, see PR https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager/pull/921

P.S. This is my info:

shortDriverName="edgedriver"
driverVersion = "106.0.1370.47"
getLatest = false
os="MAC"
architecture="ARM64"
isEdgeArm64=true
isMac=true
builtUrl="https://msedgewebdriverstorage.blob.core.windows.net/edgewebdriver/106.0.1370.47/edgedriver_arm64.zip"

BUT file name "edgedriver_arm64.zip" is incorrect - it downloads a *.exe file for Windows. For Mac M1, we need file "edgedriver_mac64_m1.zip".

[bonigarcia]

Thanks for contributing, @asolntsev. Your PR is merged now, it will be available for next version (I think I will release it in November).

This fix is available on WebDriverManager 5.3.1, just released.
