[ERROR] Driver for edge not found (valid browsers chrome|edge|firefox|opera|chromium|iexplorer)

Warning: There are some errors during "Updating web driver...". The results may not be as expected.

The main error is that there is no permissions to acces to that path,

java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Katalon\packages\KSE-10.0.1\configuration\resources\drivers\edgechromium_win64\msedgedriver.exe

I have checked the access to this this path and it is available.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @amartinezalf,

Thank you for sharing your issue.

Doing some quick research, the error message indicates that Katalon Studio is unable to update the Edge WebDriver due to a file access permission issue (AccessDeniedException).

I would like to suggest you as follows:

1. Run Katalon as Administrator

  • Close Katalon Studio.
  • Right-click the Katalon Studio shortcut and select “Run as administrator”.
  • Try updating the WebDriver again.

2. Manually Delete the Old WebDriver

  • Navigate to:
    C:\Katalon\packages\KSE-10.0.1\configuration\resources\drivers\edgechromium_win64\
  • Delete the existing msedgedriver.exe file manually.
  • Restart Katalon and update the WebDriver again.

3. Check File Permissions

  • Right-click msedgedriver.exe > Properties > Security Tab.
  • Ensure your user account has Full Control.
  • If not, click Edit and grant Full Control.

4. Disable Antivirus/Windows Defender Temporarily

  • Sometimes, security software prevents file modifications.
  • Temporarily disable your antivirus and try updating the WebDriver again.

5. Use WebDriverManager Manually
If the automatic update fails, try downloading the Edge WebDriver manually:

  1. Go to Microsoft Edge WebDriver
  2. Download the version matching your Edge browser.
  3. Replace the existing msedgedriver.exe file in:
    C:\Katalon\packages\KSE-10.0.1\configuration\resources\drivers\edgechromium_win64\
  4. Restart Katalon and try running the test again.

Hope that this can help

Thanks @Elly_Tran for the idea, I have manually removed the drivers folder and have updated all the web drives Manually again. It Works!!
