Akshay Pachkhede
I am unable to instantiate Safari browser through Selenium Automation Framework on Mac-machine.
I am using SafariDriver Version 2.45.0 and Selenium WebDriver Version 2.46.0.
Please refer the Steps I have followed to instantiate Safari and suggest any corrections to it.
1)Downloaded Safari Extension from https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SafariDriver this link.
2)Installed Safari Extension to the Safari browser.
3)Created a java project in eclipse and added a code to instantiate safari browser.
4)I am getting following error mentioned in logs,please refer logs attached.
