How to use Microsoft Edge with Selinum Java

Question

hope that you're fine. I'm trying to run my first Selinuim test but it fails every time, most of the tutorials use Chrome but I'm using Microsoft Edge and I would like to run tests each time on there, I downloaded the right Edge Webdriver version according to edge://settings/help, here what I did in my code and in the project files: My code:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
//import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;
public class Test {
   @org.testng.annotations.Test
   public void test() {
       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "msedgedriver.exe");
       driver.get("http://automationpractice.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account");
   }
} ```
The error:

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.3.0 FAILED: test java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver.

Why are you using the chrome driver and not the msedge driver instead. — Arundeep Chohan

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "msedgedriver.exe");

instead of relative path provide full path

also rearrange the order

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "c:\\somepath\\msedgedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

and instead of chrome use:

webdriver.edge.driver

use like

  System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver","D:\\msedgedriver.exe"); 
  WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver();
