Unable to launch Safari 12 browser in Mac OSX using Selenium and Java

Recently I updated mac OS to "Mojave version 10.14" and "safari version 12.0" after that i am unable to lunch safari browser. Earlier it was running fine. I am selenium "3.0.0" here is my code:

Scenario 1:

case "safari":
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
driver = new SafariDriver(cap);
break;

Error:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities [{browserName=safari, safari.options=org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariOptions@10eff, version=, platform=MAC}], required capabilities = Capabilities [{}]

Driver info: driver.version: SafariDriver

Scenario 2:

SafariOptions options = new SafariOptions();
options.setUseTechnologyPreview(true);
WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver(options);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.quit();

  • This error message...

    org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities [{browserName=safari, safari.options=org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariOptions@10eff, version=, platform=MAC}], required capabilities = Capabilities [{}] Build info: version: '3.0.0', revision: '350cf60', time: '2016-10-13 10:48:57 -0700' System info: host: 'xxxx-MacBook-Pro.local', ip: 'xxxxx', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.14', java.version: '1.8.0_131'

    ...implies that the SafariDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowser i.e. Safari Browser session.

    Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

    So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u131 , Selenium Client v3.0.0
