Does Remote WebDriver support SafariDriver

[Swaroop Swaroop]

Hi Everyone,

Please be patient as i explain my situation:

Today i checked if WebDriver supports Safari browser version 5.1.7 on Windows 7 32bit operating system and found that it does support since SafariDriver comes builtin with Selenium Server jars.

The question is since we have DesiredCapabilities.Safari() available how can we pass the SafariDriver instance into RemoteWebDriver. Here i tried with casting SafariDriver with capabilties but webdriver said we cannot cast SafariDriver to Capabilities.

Is there a code that can show how to pass SafariDriver instance into RemoteWebdriver. Please reply.

Regards,
Swaroop

Have you tried using this : 

RemoteWebDriver rwd = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(url), DesiredCapabilities.safari());

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan,

Yes i have tried it and it is not giving any response.

public class InvokeSafari {

public WebDriver driver;

@Test

public void TestOpenSafari() throws MalformedURLException{

RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://Test2-PC:4444/wd/hub"), DesiredCapabilities.safari());

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("Cheese");

driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com");

try {

Thread.sleep(2000);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

@AfterTest

public void afterSuite(){

driver.quit();

}

}

I am wondering if Safari is supported by RemoteWebdriver or not....Please let me know....

Thanks and Regards,

Swaroop

I am not having any troubles using the RemoteWebDriver with Safari on Windows platform.

In my Test base class I have the following set up to initialize the driver (WebDriver)

DesiredCapabilities SafariBrowser = DesiredCapabilities.Safari();
SafariBrowser.SetCapability("browserName", "safari");
SafariBrowser.SetCapability("version", "5");
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), SafariBrowser);

The Hub finds the appropriate node (also running windows) and executes the test.

I will note that it took > 20s to find the node and create the driver the very first time I executed a test but after that,  finding an appropriate node was only a few seconds.

Hope that helps.

Hi Swaroop,

I am using C# so I cannot validate your code which I believe is in java?

It would be useful if you could include a few details such as the failure message when the test fails, as well as how you started the node where the Safari browser is running....

I am not sure what the failure message is but it would be helpful to see what its complaining about...

Hi Sean,

I have added safari.exe into the environment variables path in my system and safari version is 5.1.7 on windows 7 32bit operating system.

How do I start the Safari Node:

First start the hub using a batch file

Then use the below code in another batch file to register safari browser with the Selenium Hub.

cd/

java -jar sss.jar -role webdriver -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -browser browserName="Safari"

The below error message is comming when i execute the testng.xml file.

Hi Swaroop, as Krishnan points out compilation error should be your number one focus.  Once that is resolved some thoughts: 

I start the node very differently from you. For example you are using the following

java -jar sss.jar -role webdriver -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -browser browserName="Safari".

"-role webdriver" seems off to me, the role should be node?

I use JSON configuration to set the properties - not saying yours is wrong, I am just not familiar... 

I use the following

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role node -nodeConfig nodeConfig.json - Dwebdriver.ie.driver=C:\QAS\BrowserDrivers\IEDriverServer_x64_2.42.0\IEDriverServer.exe -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=C:\QAS\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver_win32_2.9\chromedriver.exe 

and my nodeConfig.json file look like the following

{

  "capabilities":

      [

        {

          "browserName": "firefox",

  "version": "29",

          "maxInstances": 5,

          "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"

        },

{

          "browserName": "safari",

  "version": "5",

          "maxInstances": 5,

          "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"

        },

        {

          "browserName": "chrome",

  "version": "34",

          "maxInstances": 5,

          "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"

        },

        {

          "browserName": "internet explorer",

          "version": "11",

          "maxInstances": 1,

          "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"

        }

      ],

  "configuration":

  {

    "proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy",

    "maxSession": 5,

    "port": 5555,

    "host": IP of the node,

    "register": true,

    "registerCycle": 5000,

    "hubPort": 4444,

    "hubHost": IP of the Hub

  }

}

Again, not saying yours is wrong, just different.

you can read all about the json config here - https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/Grid2

Hope this helps.

Hi Sean,

Thanks a lot for sharing this information. I have worked with Json files.....but this is really informative. Yes i think i missed the node role......i shall check on this.Appreciate your time in this regard.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the code. It Works!!!!

Selenium Remote WebDriver still supports Safari browser 5.1.7. Feels great as i overcome one more challenge with Selenium.........

I have attached below the screenshot so that it may help others.
