[SafariDriver] Failed to open the application URL

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7133

I tried to run selenium test in safari browser. I am facing an exception and not able
to launch the application. The weird point is every time i am getting different exception.

Code Snippet:
-------------

WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
driver.get("Application URL");

Expected: Need to open the given application URL.
Actual:

1. Exception: 

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Failed to connect to SafariDriver

, please don't suggest something unless it's working for you -

I am having the same issue.
 I am running a jenkins test that uses the Imac as a slave to run a webdriver test.

My tests do run as designed from the this machine when I launch them from eclipse.

 This was working but now after updating to OS X Yosemite and Safari 8.0 I am receiving
the same error. 

I also receive the following error message on the Safari Browser: Unable to establish
a connection with the Safari Driver extension. 

There is also a popup window that states: A keychain cannot be found to store "Safari."

On my local Safari, I have the Webdriver 2.38.0 extenstion loaded and enabled. 

On the launched Safari that errors out, when I navigate to the extension, it is loaded
but NOT enabled. 

Here is a copy of my stack trace. Kind of surprised not to see a single comment on
here with so many people having the issue. 

The only difference is that this is on the admin account and the jenkins test is on
a jenkins account. 

Here is my stack trace:

In response to comment #8.
There is also a popup window that states: A keychain cannot be found to store "Safari."
When this happens the scripts hang.

On my local Safari, I have the Webdriver 2.38.0 extenstion loaded and enabled.
I am running the scripts via a test automation server (STAF) so the tests are triggered
in the root context, but the driver is launched as the machines local user.

I have tried all solutions for this popup.
Please help resolve this.

I am using selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar and have taken the webdriver out of
this.

Could at least someone respond to this thread so we at least know someone is looking
into the issue? Or is this just crazy talk....

Reported by jackcwestis on 2014-11-04 15:59:05

To update comment #8. I could not find a solution for this so I down graded my OS X
to Maverick 10.9. Now the Test actually runs for a period of time before the popup
with the same error message is displayed. Another difference is that if I click cancel
the test continues. I have tried to use the Keychain first aid but this does nothing.

Reported by jackcwestis on 2014-11-04 16:42:09

To update comment #12. Observed the same with an older version of mavericks/safari.
More moving to ml to see if it goes away entirely :)

Reported by mithran77 on 2014-11-04 16:46:48

[lukeis]

As an update to #13 this is also happening on ML 10.8.5 Safari 6.1.6.
Is there any version of OSx Safari where there is no popup for "A keychain cannot be
found to store Safari."?

If anyone can answer this that would be great!

I had this working in mountain lion before I upgraded to Yosemite. I do not remember
what version OS X I was working on and I did not use time machine. I do know that the
test currently works on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I was facing the similar issue: createDriver
org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Failed to connect to SafariDriver
after 10342 ms

To get it resolved after trying some things, I registered myself at the Apple Site
for “Safari Developer Program” and generated a certificate to use in Safari. Installed
the certificate in my Key-chain and added the Safari Extension to the browser.

Can refer the site for steps to proceed: https://rationaleemotions.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/working-with-safari-driver/

I am using software configurations like:
Selenium: selenium-server-standalone-2.43.1.jar
Safari: 7.1.3
Mac: 10.9.5

Even tested on latest Selenium 2.44.0 and Safari 8.0. This approach works.

Reported by udaykthakur on 2015-02-04 14:54:03

Is there a workaround aside from signing up for the Apple Developer Program?  It's not
free to sign up, and I'd rather not pay just for the privilege of running tests against
Safari.
