Microsoft has released the new Microsoft Edge browser based on Chromium https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/01/15/new-year-new-browser-the-new-microsoft-edge-is-out-of-preview-and-now-available-for-download/ and it would be nice to include it in the images. We are adding support for Edge to Cypress.io test runner but would like to run smoke tests on CI to make sure it works.

   Yep, it will be included in the next update: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/3287

   Btw, do you know a good way to disable "First time experience" in freshly installed Edge using a script? :) VS 2019 image is built with Packer.

   When Cypress launches the browser it appends a whole bunch of flags to be able to control it. Below is the full list of flags, but the most important I think is --no-first-run

   Full set of CLI flags

   --test-type --ignore-certificate-errors --start-maximized 
   --silent-debugger-extension-api --no-default-browser-check 
   --no-first-run --noerrdialogs --enable-fixed-layout --disable-popup-blocking 
   --disable-password-generation --disable-save-password-bubble 
   --disable-single-click-autofill --disable-prompt-on-repos 
   --disable-background-timer-throttling --disable-renderer-backgrounding 
   --disable-renderer-throttling --disable-restore-session-state 
   --disable-translate --disable-new-profile-management 
   --disable-new-avatar-menu --allow-insecure-localhost 
   --reduce-security-for-testing --enable-automation 
   --disable-device-discovery-notifications --disable-infobars 
   --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --disable-site-isolation-trials 
   --metrics-recording-only --disable-prompt-on-repost --disable-hang-monitor
    --disable-sync --disable-web-resources --safebrowsing-disable-auto-update 
   --safebrowsing-disable-download-protection --disable-client-side-phishing-detection 
   --disable-component-update --disable-default-apps --use-fake-ui-for-media-stream 
   --use-fake-device-for-media-stream --disable-ipc-flooding-protection 
   --disable-backgrounding-occluded-window --disable-breakpad 
   --password-store=basic --use-mock-keychain 
   --proxy-server=http://localhost:60273 --proxy-bypass-list=<-loopback> 
   --remote-debugging-port=60283 --remote-debugging-address=127.0.0.1 
   --load-extension=/Users/gleb/Library/Application Support/Cypress/cy/development/browsers/edge/interactive/CypressExtension,/Users/gleb/git/cypress/packages/extension/theme

   Great, that makes sense! No need to bother from our side then. Thanks for sharing!
