[🐛 Regression,Edge]: Edge Driver will not start on Linux

[lprimak]

What happened?

Selenium Manager / Edge driver download is broken:

java.lang.RuntimeException:

Also happens on Intel architecture with Java 17:

System info: os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '5.15.0-1057-aws', java.version: '17.0.11'

How can we reproduce the issue?

Run any test without Edge being downloaded into the `.cache` directory or installed locally on machine.
This only breaks on Linux, not Mac.

Hi, @diemol
I am not sure I understand your comment and closing this issue.
Problem happens on multiple linux machines on multiple networks.
The link provided doesn't seem relevant to this problem.
This is a regression, this has been working well for over a year on the same systems.
I can't get Edge tests to work on the brand new Linux VMs either.

Please reopen this.
Thank you

The error says that your machine could not connect to the repository where Selenium Manager can download MS Edge or MsEdgeDriver. That's why I suggest you check the network configuration and link the troubleshooting section.

[lprimak]

I cannot seem to create any Linux machine that does this successfully.
This suggests the repository no longer exists, or it doesn't exist in a format that Selenium Manager is expecting.
Broke about a week ago.
