Automation test chromium edge - selenium-webdriver

Question

I try to run selenium test with chromium edge version 79.0.309.56.
This is the code for the test but I got an error
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unrecognized Chrome version: Edg/79.0.309.56
the code is:
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "<path to driver>\\msedgedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setBinary("<path to browser>\\msedge.exe");
DesiredCapabilities m_capability = DesiredCapabilities.edge();
m_capability.merge(chromeOptions);
EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions().merge(chromeOptions);
try{
RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://<ip>:80/wd/hub"), m_capability);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I didn't find a solution for this error.
Thanks

What version of selenium server and Microsoft Edge (Chromium) driver are you using? I use selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar and Microsoft Edge (Chromium) driver 79.0.309.43 and the code can work well when automating Microsoft Edge (Chromium) 79.0.309.56.
How do you launch the hub and the node? You could refer to my steps below:
Launch a hub: using the command prompt, navigate to the path of selenium server, then type on the command prompt:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar -role hub -maxSession 10 -port 4444
Launch a node: navigating to the same path and type on the command prompt:
java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="your\path\to\webdriver\msedgedriver.exe" -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar -role webdriver -hub http://<your_ip>:4444/grid/register -port 3333
After launching successfully, run the code you providing and the Capabilities will show on the command prompt like this:
INFO [ActiveSessionFactory.apply] - Capabilities are: {
"browserName": "chrome",
"goog:chromeOptions": {
"args": [
],
"binary": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge Beta\\Application\\msedge.exe",
"extensions": [
]
},
"platform": "WINDOWS",
"version": ""
}
