[Mayank Mittal]

Hi Guys!!

I'm getting  Unable to start the server: another safaridriver is already running.

Already enabled "allow remote automation" option in develop menu.

Kindly help.

Thanks & Regards

package Test;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver;

public class BrowserInvoke {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();

driver.get("https://google.com");

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

}

}

This is the test. I tried killing the process and run again. It worked, But when I tried again it gave the same error.

Do I need to kill the process each and every time I run the case on Mac? Please help.

The bug lies in your code. You have not invoked driver.quit()

If you don’t invoke driver.quit() the server binary is not exited and that’s why you are getting that error.

 

Here’s a sample that shows what I am talking about :

 

public class SafariDriverTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SafariDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
        try {
            driver.get("http://www.google.com");
            System.err.println("Title :" + driver.getTitle());
        } finally {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

 

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards
