Web Driver - How to override user-agent for Microsoft edge - node.js

Question

According to Web driver IO specification , I can set the browser's the user-agent for chrome as below:
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: ['user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 7_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/537.51.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0 Mobile/11A465 Safari/9537.53']
}
}
However, I could not find a way to override for Microsoft Edge using desiredCapabilities config in Webdriver.

Answer 1

Based on the information available on the official EdgeDriver page, I do not think MS Edge provides an option to change user agent : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver#w3c-webdriver
Also, here is the java doc for EdgeOptions : https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/edge/EdgeOptions.html which has a list of support EdgeOptions

Answer 2

Solution for PHP
$options = new ChromeOptions();
$options->addArguments(['--user-agent=' . $userAgent]);
$seleniumServerCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities::microsoftEdge();
$seleniumServerCapabilities->setCapability('ms:edgeOptions', $options);
For more intel checkout the source code of the Webdriver: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/trunk/java/src/org/openqa/selenium/edge/EdgeOptions.java

A quick google search gave me this :
For Desktop :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; <64-bit tags>) AppleWebKit/<WebKit Rev> (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/<Chrome Rev> Safari/<WebKit Rev> Edge/<EdgeHTML Rev>.<Windows Build>
