Safari specific functionality

Unlike Chromium and Firefox drivers, the safaridriver is installed with the Operating System. To enable automation on Safari, run the following command from the terminal:

safaridriver --enable

Options

Capabilities common to all browsers are described on the Options page.

Capabilities unique to Safari can be found at Apple’s page About WebDriver for Safari

Starting a Safari session with basic defined options looks like this:

Move Code

• Java
• Python
• CSharp
• Ruby
• JavaScript
• Kotlin

        SafariOptions options = new SafariOptions();
        driver = new SafariDriver(options);

    options = webdriver.SafariOptions()
    driver = webdriver.Safari(options=options)

            var options = new SafariOptions();
            driver = new SafariDriver(options);

      options = Selenium::WebDriver::Options.safari
      @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :safari, options: options

      .setSafariOptions(options)
      .build();

  val options = SafariOptions()
  val driver = SafariDriver(options)

Mobile

Those looking to automate Safari on iOS should look to the Appium project.

Service

Service settings common to all browsers are described on the Service page.

Logging

Unlike other browsers, Safari doesn’t let you choose where logs are output, or change levels. The one option available is to turn logs off or on. If logs are toggled on, they can be found at:~/Library/Logs/com.apple.WebDriver/.

• Java
• Python
• CSharp
• Ruby
• JavaScript
• Kotlin

                .withLogging(true)

    service = webdriver.SafariService(service_args=["--diagnose"])

      service.args << '--diagnose'

Safari Technology Preview

Apple provides a development version of their browser — Safari Technology Preview

• Java
• Python
• CSharp
• Ruby
• JavaScript
• Kotlin

    Selenium::WebDriver::Safari.technology_preview!
    local_driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :safari
