How to use execute selenium automation scripts(java) using safari technology preview?

I wanted some help on running my automation scripts on Safari.
Im running my selenium webdriver scripts on Mac OS(High Sierra) and Safari 11.1.2
I have WebDriver Extension has been added to safari browser and I have enabled the 'Allow Remote Automation'
Here is the way i'm trying to invoke selenium webdriver:
SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
safariOptions.useCleanSession(true);
safariOptions.setUseTechnologyPreview(true);
WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver(safariOptions);
I have also installed Safari technology preview on my machine.
When I run my scripts, it throws below error:
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not create a session: A browser with name 'safari' version '(null)' could not be found on the system.

Inbetween it also said that "Safari driver requires safari 10 running on OSX EL Capitan or greater"

As occurs with other selenium webdrivers you should specify where is the binary of Safari to run it.
System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver", "/mypath/binary");
The path usually is /System/Library/CoreServices/SafariSupport.bundle/Contents/MacOS/safaridriver. And do it before your example lines.
And activate the Safari automation:

please set environment variable webdriver.gecko.driver in your machine and its value.
or you can pass the parameter webdriver.gecko.driver while starting your hub or registering your node. like
java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver="path to the gecko driver" {jar} -role node/hub

Firstly say the issue in your code, if you want to use the selenium server/grid please specify the webdriver path in command line when start selenium server,rather than specify by code. so below code is unnecessary, they are only necessary when you choose run test not using selenium server/grid, we call it 'directConnect' (your script communicate directly with webdriver.exe)
if(browser.equals("firefox"))
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
System.getProperty("user.dir")+"//geckoDriver//geckodriver");
else if(browser.equals("chrome"))
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
System.getProperty("user.dir")+"//chromeDriver//chromeDriver");
register node to hub argument example to specify webdriver.exe path:
java
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=C:\selenium\chromedriver_2.32.exe
-Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=C:\selenium\geckodriver-v0.18.0.exe
-jar C:\selenium\selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar
-role node
-port 4446
Reminder: please check the standalone.jar, specified webdriver.exe and browser on node are compatible with each other, otherwise the node will fail to launch browser in testing.

Unable to open firefox browser in Jenkins using selenium webdriver

I'm using Selenium version 3.4.0 and geckodriver version 0.16.1. My firfox version is 52.0.1.
I have started Jenkins server through command line java -jar jenkins.war
Jenkins server is working fine. But when I tried to execute Jenkins parameterized job (maven test) firefox opens for a moment and closes immediately.
Here is my trace log:

If I use chrome browser it is working fine in Jenkins.
NOTE: Same test is executing locally fine on firefox and chrome browser both.
My firefox configuration:
public static WebDriver driver = null;
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in");
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue ?

Here is the Answer to your Question:
The error says it all Missing 'type' parameter
It was a known issue on Missing 'type' parameter Build info: version: '3.4.0' on Selenium with Mozilla Firefox. You can find the discussion here.
Upgrading to Mozilla Firefox 53.x will solve your issue.
Let me know if this Answers your Question.

Java Selenium Webdriver Connection Refused

I am getting the all too common connection refused error on my selenium webdriver. The same code was executing a few weeks ago.
I have been reading in circles through existing posts and have tried updating geckodriver and FireFox to no avail. I can run the same code on another computer running the same versions of the driver, browser and libraries etc. How can I find the cause specific to this machine? the error is below.

And I get this running even the following basic code.
enter code here
package seleniumPrograms;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class Gecko_Driver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Debug 1");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
}
}
Example with chrome.
#Test
public void testGoogleSearch() throws InterruptedException {
// Optional, if not specified, WebDriver will search your path for chromedriver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/xhtml");
Thread.sleep(5000); // Let the user actually see something!
WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
searchBox.submit();
Thread.sleep(5000); // Let the user actually see something!
driver.quit();
}

Our security dept introduced a policy which blocked access to the execution of the geckodriver.exe. This was identified by attempting to run from cmd. Not sure why I didn't get the meaningful error in the IDE (blocked by group policy) for gecko, I did get this error for chrome and IE. In order to use the driver it needed to be saved in Program files though this may be specific to my situation. If you get this error for Geckodriver i would suggest trying to execute it from cmd to see if there is a policy issue.

Here is the solution to your Question:
I don't see any error as such in your code but the error stack trace HttpHostConnectException says it all.
Perform the following steps:
I don't see any necessity to use throws InterruptedException, you may consider to remove it.
As per best practices try to keep the geckodriver in convenient locations: e.g. C:\\your_directory.
Avoid using directory names with Temp.
Though you have taken help of DesiredCapabilities Class, you haven't passed it while you initiated the driver instance. You must be doing:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
Clear your Mozilla Firefox Browser cache.
From the Windows Task Manager, manually kill all the running instances of geckodriver.exe
You may require to run the CCleaner to keep off all the unwanted stuff.
Restart you machine.
Execute your Test. It should work well.
At the end of your Test Step do call driver.quit() to prevent geckodriver instances from dangling.
Here is your own working code block adding the System.setProperty line:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
System.out.println("Debug 1");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
Let me know if this helps you.

I was facing the same error here. After a system reboot, the code worked just fine.
My problem was that my code left some processes open at the end, and they were using a lot of RAM.
Try running:
pkill geckodriver
pkill firefox
pkill selenium
And then run your code again.

Issue launching Phantomjs Selenium Web Driver

I'm using phantom.js driver for selenium in some java code.
It's a large project so i'll only copy what I think is the relevant code.
I had it working fine with the firefox driver.
I instantiate it here:
Capabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
((DesiredCapabilities) caps).setJavascriptEnabled(true);
((DesiredCapabilities) caps).setCapability("takesScreenshot", true);
((DesiredCapabilities) caps).setCapability("timeoutInSeconds", 20);
((DesiredCapabilities) caps).setCapability(
PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY,
"/Applications/phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx/bin/phantomjs"
);
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps);
driver.get(base_url+searchQuery.urlString());
Then when I run the program I get a list of errors:
SEVERE: org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process exited with an error: 137 (Exit value: 137)
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

Its seems like it can't get the driver server to start.
