New safaridriver with Safari 10.0 macOS Sierra

[Alexander Ustinov]

There is new feature safaridriver in the new version macOS Sierra.

command /usr/bin/safaridriver launch daemon /usr/libexec/wedriverd on some port (70XX)

How to use this option with selenium? :)

Ask Apple - check their support forums, docs?

As this isn't natively integrated into Selenium WebDriver bindings (like the current/old SafariDriver pre-Sierra), I would assume to use it, you would use RemoteWebDriver against the port you're using the new SafariDriver with and specify Safari desired capabilities, all after launching the Sierra SafariDriver on some given port. Then it should just work like any browser. And hopefully this new SafariDriver doesn't have the limitations of the current one (e.g. Action chains, native interactions API, javascript alert handling, file upload support).

As for Selenium Grid support, we'll have to see how you run the new driver binary with grid / in grid mode. Hopefully that's documented somewhere.

I have followed the instructions for Safari 10 automation on Sierra. I am using a Java client and am unable to launch Safari with RemoteWebDriver(capabilities) and with SafariDriver instantiation, like

 

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
capabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, new SafariOptions());
driver = new SafariDriver(capabilities);

 

I get this during visibility check of a WebElement -

 org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: Build info: version: '3.0.0-beta4', revision: '3169782', time: '2016-09-29 10:30:04 -0700'

I know SafariDriver should not be used as mentioned in the article but there seems to be a 3.0.0-beta4 jar for safaridriver and it does launch Safari. Can you point me in the right direction?

I got it working by setting the path in .bash_profile and updating my selenium to the latest jar.

Hi Jai,
Visibility check of element is broken on Safari10, I faced the same issue, however on Safari technology  preview version 16 its working fine. so you need to install Safari Technology preview on MAC os Seirra and use the following capability

desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
safariOptions.setUseTechnologyPreview(true);
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, safariOptions);

Hi Thank you for your reply.

I am able to run the safaridriver using the below code

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();

SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();

safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);

desiredCapabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, safariOptions);

desiredCapabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, new SafariOptions()); 

WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver(desiredCapabilities);

driver.get("http://etnabeta.cimm2.com");

driver.quit();

}

My selenium version is 3.0.0 . How do run the same using selenium grid. I am not able to run safaridriver using selenium grid. Please help.

Regards,

Hemanth Sridhar
