Cypress not finding beta/dev builds of Edge on linux

[CarbonCollins]

Current behavior

After installing Edge Beta and Edge Dev on my machine I do not see them listed as an option to run my E2E tests against. The Stable version does appear in the UI with no issues.

After looking into how Cypress knows about browsers I noticed two potential issues with the version regex in the packages/launcher/lib/browsers.ts file and the binary names.

For the version regex I'm not sure if this would be the cause of the issue but the regex for Edge Dev is /Microsoft Edge Dev (\S+)/m and for Edge Beta is /Microsoft Edge Beta (\S+)/m but when running /usr/bin/microsoft-edge-dev --version it returns Microsoft Edge 110.0.1587.6 dev which would not match the regex string. This is the same for the beta version where it returns Microsoft Edge 109.0.1518.49 beta

The second potential issue I see is that the Edge Beta is missing a listing for microsoft-edge-beta which is present for the stable and dev versions. This looks like it was done in #8931 but the beta and canary channels were missed.

I have raised #25456 to add the alternate binary names for Edge Beta and Edge Canary

[CarbonCollins]

#25457 was also raised to potentially resolve the version string matching

Thanks for posting this issue and particularly for the PRs to fix it. We'll take a look at them and get back to you with any feedback.

This issue still has an open PR, there were two issues found causing Cypress not to be able to find the Edge binaries. One being Manjaro linux has microsoft- as a prefix to the binary names and that Cypress version regex is not matching the format that Edge is returning when running edge --version
