In this blog, we’ll find out how to run our Selenium Test Scripts on Safari Browser.
Safari Browser implements the WebDriver protocol using SafariDriver. The SafariDriver is that the link between your tests in Selenium and therefore the Safari Browser. SafariDriver has been implemented as a plugin in safari browser and this provides an ideal match of client and server machine where SafariDriverServer acts as server and Selenium-Java/Language binding acts as client.
Note: Previously SafariDriver was supporting safari browser on Windows machine but recently Apple has decided to get rid of its support for windows then execution on safari has become the work of Mac machine. So for an equivalent , we’d like mac machine where safari browser should be installed.
Let us consider a test suit during which we’ll attempt to automate the subsequent scenarios in Safari browser.
• Launch Safari browser.
• Open URL: www.google.com
• Type the worth “tecklearn”
• Click on the Search button.
• Close the browser
We will create our fifth test suit within the same test suite (Demo_Test).
Step1. Right click on the “src” folder and make a replacement Class File from New > Class. Give your Class name as “Fifth” and click on on “Finish” button.

Step2. Open URL: https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ in your Safari browser. it’ll direct you to the ‘downloads’ page of Selenium official website. Scroll down through the online page and locate SafariDriver.
Step3. Click on the “Latest Release” choice to download the newest version of SafariDriver.

Step4. Double click on the downloaded file.

This will launch a pop-up box on your Safari browser extension window. Click on the “Trust” button to configure WebDriver in your Safari browser.

Step5. Restart your browser.
Before writing the test script, allow us to first understand how we will initialize SafariDriver in Selenium. Safari browser is represented by a category called SafariDriver within the org.openqa.selenium.safari package. All we’ve to try to to is to make an instance of SafariDriver class.
Here may be a sample code to try to to that:

1. WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();

Step6. Now, it’s time to code. we’ve embedded comments for every block of code to elucidate the steps clearly.

1. import org.openqa.selenium.By;
2. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
3. import org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver;
4.
5. public class Fifth {
6.
7. public static void main(String[] args) {
8.
9. // Instantiate a SafariDriver class.
10. WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
11.
12. // Launch Website
13. driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com/");
14.
15. // Click on the search text box and send value
16. driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("tecklearn");
17.
18. // Click on the search button
19. driver.findElement(By.name("btnK")).click();
20.
21. // Close the Browser
22. driver.close();
23.
24. }

Step7. Right click on the Eclipse code and choose Run As > Java Application.

Upon execution, the above test script will launch the Safari browser and automate all the test scenarios.
