I wanted some help on running my automation scripts on Safari.

Im running my selenium webdriver scripts on Mac OS(High Sierra) and Safari 11.1.2

I have WebDriver Extension has been added to safari browser and I have enabled the 'Allow Remote Automation'

Here is the way i'm trying to invoke selenium webdriver:

   SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
    safariOptions.useCleanSession(true);
    safariOptions.setUseTechnologyPreview(true);
    WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver(safariOptions);

I have also installed Safari technology preview on my machine.

When I run my scripts, it throws below error:

    org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not create a session: A browser with name 'safari' version '(null)' could not be found on the system.

    at org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver.<init>(SafariDriver.java:78)
    at org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver.<init>(SafariDriver.java:60)

So when I uninstall the Safari technology preview, and change the code to 

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:24147

    at org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver.<init>(SafariDriver.java:60)

Inbetween it also said that "Safari driver requires safari 10 running on OSX EL Capitan or greater"

As occurs with other selenium webdrivers you should specify where is the binary of Safari to run it.

System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver", "/mypath/binary");

The path usually is /System/Library/CoreServices/SafariSupport.bundle/Contents/MacOS/safaridriver. And do it before your example lines.

And activate the Safari automation:

  • Thank you for your response. I tried specifying the path of safaridriver Eg:System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver", "/user/bin/safaridriver"); It did not work. Here is what I tried: System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver", "/user/bin/safaridriver"); SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions(); safariOptions.useCleanSession(true); // safariOptions.setUseTechnologyPreview(true); driver = new SafariDriver(safariOptions); – Megha Vinay Jul 30 '18 at 07:05
  • And here is the response: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:26940 Build info: version: '3.11.0', revision: 'e59cfb3', time: '2018-03-11T20:26:55.152Z' System info: host: 'Meghas-MacBook-Pro.local', ip: 'fe80:0:0:0:1c74:d309:2877:bd09%en0', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.13.4', java.version: '1.8.0_171' – Megha Vinay Jul 30 '18 at 07:08
  • do you have the preview software downloaded? from the store. – j.barrio Jul 30 '18 at 07:15
  • It worked for me a few months ago, but you are right. With the latest version of selenium and preview is not working, right now. – j.barrio Jul 30 '18 at 11:43
