Safari Webdriver Error

[ttcconnor]

I currently am running a test using Eclipse and TestNG and have the FireFox and Chrome webdriver installed. I am looking to run this test on Safari using the webdriver. I downloaded an Apple Safari certificate and set up the extension builder. When I run the test I get the following error:

FAILED: spawnSafari
org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

Does anyone know why this problem is occurring if the Safari Driver was installed successfully? Is anyone currently running the Safari webdriver successfully?

This is most likely because the Extension was not installed properly. 

Take a look at this blog post I created : http://rationaleemotions.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/working-with-safari-driver/

It refers to 2.21.0 and talks about using a pre-built extension that Luke created (you can replace that part with building the extension). 

Hope that helps.

I came across that website you posted and that is how I installed the extension. All of those steps I have done, except for the last, which the test runs successfully. I have opened the Extension builder and it says it is installed correctly and is linked to a certificate. I eventually want to run these tests remotely on Jenkins. Is the Safari driver made to do this kind of testing at this point in time?

Oh btw, are you running on Safari 5.1 or above ?

Per http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SafariDriver

The SafariDriver requires Safari 5.1+

I'm running out as well! Thank you for your help, I appreciate the effort.

I would suggest starting from scratch and rebuilding the extension and installing it with a new certificate 

I have installed this 8 times and not had one problem perhaps it could be with permissions of the machine you are trying to install it on?

Did you run your tests using java by any chance?
