Description
Hi so irrespective of me mentioning the browser version upon creating a HtmlDriver instance the driver is always defaulting to IE8

My Test Case
`@Test
public void testLoginCorrectCredentialsCorrect() throws Exception {
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME, true) {
@Override
protected WebClient modifyWebClient(WebClient client) {
final WebClient webClient = super.modifyWebClient(client);
// you might customize the client here
webClient.getOptions().setCssEnabled(false);
return webClient;
}
};
webDriver.get("https://reflectionsstaging.optisolbusiness.com");// step 2 web driver navigation
//ReflectionHome webElements = new ReflectionHome(webDriver);
if (webDriver.getTitle().equals("Reflection"))// step 3 locating an element
{
System.out.println(webDriver.getPageSource());
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver,30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.name("email")));
webDriver.findElement(By.name("email")).sendKeys("yopmail.com"); // step 4,5 wait for return from the // browser
webDriver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("123");
// driver.findElement(By.linkText("Inventory Master")).click();
// driver.findElement(webElements.inventoryListItem).click();
} else {
fail("tes failed");
}

My Imports:
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.BrowserVersion;
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient;
The output I get from page source where I verify that IE8 was called(obtained by using the getpagesource function)

If you notice in this output that I have shared IE8 is the browser that is being called. I opened IE Edge and emulated to see that my site does indeed throw the above error message in IE8 only. Would someone have a look at it and let me know how i can go about fixing this.

Research direction
Start with the HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME, true) construction and the modifyWebClient override shown in the test case, then inspect how the selected BrowserVersion is passed to the underlying client. Reproduce the navigation and page-source output, and verify that the resulting user-agent behavior no longer identifies the browser as IE8.
