Execution on Safari browser using webdriver

[Payal]

Hi All,

Has anyone been able to achieve the execution on Safari browser using webdrivers. Please share your views on the same.

I have referred to wiki page available for safari extension setup.

http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/remote/DesiredCapabilities.html
With below mentioned Maven dependency, I am able to use DesiredCapabilities.safari().

<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
<version>2.21.0</version>
</dependency>

But I am getting following error :

I think that Web Driver does not support safari at all. I think that for safari you have to use Selenium RC

You could try this -

With 2.21 selenium jar, we can now use DesiredCapabilites.safari() just like for Firefox/IE. We have to use Safari 5 and above versions.

I have referred to the same wiki page : https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SafariDriver
for the installation of certificate and safari extensions.
