Unable to launch safariDriver through Jenkins

I want to run my selenium/java scripts on safari browser.
Local runs work fine (Im able to see safari launch & scripts work fine).
But I am facing an issue when I try to run it through Jenkins. It errors out at this statement , does not launch safariBrowser driver = new SafariDriver(options);
Please note, Im able to run the scripts fine, when I login to the VM, and try to run on the VM. But when the scripts are triggered through Jenkins, it errors out.
This is my code :
SafariOptions options = new SafariOptions();
options.setCapability(CapabilityType.SUPPORTS_JAVASCRIPT, "true");
driver = new SafariDriver(options);
Error thrown :
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException:
java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:9504

Other alternative tried :
Tried to check in other stackoverFlow posts.
I found few posts which says to launch safariDriver using automator script. But when I try to launch a safariDriver using automator script, I can see a "safariDriver" process started in the "activity monitor", But when my scripts run, there's no way to hook up to the same port, and use the already running safariDriver
This is the automator script that was used :
security unlock-keychain -p '<password>'
/usr/bin/safaridriver --enable
/usr/bin/safaridriver --port 7050
Any help on this is much appreciated !

...implies that the WebDriver was unable to communicate with the Browsing Context i.e. Browser session.
Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:
You are using java.version: '1.8.0_181'
But you are using Selenium version: '3.12.0' of 2018-05-08T14:04:26.12Z which is old and ancient.
Solution
Ensure that:
Selenium is upgraded to current released Version 3.141.59.

Selenium chromeDriver crash “UnreachableBrowserException/

Hi I apologise for a repost but I am new to selenium and tried to launch this simple command to open youtube in a google. However, it keeps crashing and showing this error. Directly below is the code I am running.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver"));
WebDriver driver3 = new ChromeDriver();
driver3.get("https://www.youtube.com/");
Could anyone point me in the right direction of where I'm going wrong. Thank you

Your webdriver.chrome.driver point to Chrome browser but it should point to chromedriver. For reference: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started
You need to download chromedriver from here: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads and set path to this file in webdriver.chrome.driver.

I have used following trouble shooting steps.
1. Tried disabling the gpu-watchdog in chrome
2. Re-Installed Chrome
3. Re-cloned all my project from git hub
4. Installed older version.
I don't have luck to run this. Can some one point me in right direction If I am missing something here.
My concern is these scripts ran till yesterday and suddenly I am getting this error.
Thanks in Advance.

After running out all possible options, At last I found a little solution for this. I played a trick with the chrome driver versions, But not sure why and how it worked. I have followed these steps
I have downloaded the latest version of chrome driver and ran my
selenium tests by configuring System.setProperty()
Now I double clicked the old chrome driver version (which I have used it for my
script earlier) while running my selenium script.
Then I configured my script back to my old version.
That's it my scripts are running smooth without any exceptions. :-)

While initiating the ChromeDriver getting an exception

I'm very new to Selenium. Below given is my first test script.
Question: Does it require selenium server to test a local website (which is hosted in the same machine as the test scripts being run).
Also tried executing the same script from Internet Explorer also, still getting the same.
It just opens the browser and closes(because of finally block) it.
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class TestScript {
/**
* #param args
* #throws InterruptedException
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
ChromeDriver driver = null;
try
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
System.out.println("Opening the Browser");
driver.get("http://localhsot:5080/myWebSite/8450191#");
System.out.println("Open the Browser");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Title" +driver.getTitle());
}
catch (Exception ie)
{
ie.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
System.out.println("Quitting the Browser");
driver.close();
driver.quit();
}
}
}

Quitting the Browser
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException

You are getting a little confused about what you need to point Selenium to.
Here:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
This setting, webdriver.chrome.driver is a setting that Selenium will read to find out where the ChromeDriver is located, not the actual Chrome installation.
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
You must download the ChromeDriver and where it is located should be what you pass in for the webdriver.chrome.driver property.
I imagine it's the same reason when you try with IE, it also requires a driver which I guess you don't have:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver
In terms of whether you need a "server" -> for your tests, no, you are not running them remotely. Once you decide to run them remotely (i.e use the RemoteWebDriver instead of ChromeDriver) then you will need the Selenium server.

I would recommend instead of using System.setProperty() to put your drivers in the same folder and point to that folder in System Variables Path. Then you don't need to point to it at all in code and updating your driver won't require a code rewrite.

PhantomjsDriver not working on both Windows and Linux

I have an application that uses Selenium Webdriver to get some information from a site. It works fine with FirefoxDriver and ChromeDriver, but when I tried to switch to PhantomJSDriver, I encountered some difficulties.
On a Windows machine , it starts normally, then immediately begins spitting out the following lines over and over again:
Jan 05, 2014 7:28:43 PM org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector tryEx
ecute
INFO: I/O exception (org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException) caught when processing request: The target server failed to respond
This is repeated probably several hundred times for about 10 minutes until it finally loads the page; sometimes it doesn't even manage to load it at all.
On a Linux machine, it tries to start, then returns the following:
Exception in thread "thread1"

What am I doing wrong? I've read a lot about how Phantomjs is so much faster than the other drivers, and would really like to use it, but if it takes 10 minutes to load each page, that's obviously not feasible.
I am running Selenium WebDriver version 2.38.0 and Phantomjs version 1.9.2.
Thank you very much in advance,
bsg
EDIT
Just to clarify, I don't think this has anything to do with my code; the errors on Linux are being thrown on the line where I try to start the PhantomJS driver, below.
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
caps.setCapability(
PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY,
phantombinary//"/home/p/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs"
);
// Launch driver (will take care and ownership of the phantomjs process)
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps);
System.out.println("starting driver");

If it is still not working for you on Linux, try below piece of code, it is working for me on Mac.
capabilities.setCapability("phantomjs.binary.path", "path of phantom binary/phantomjs")

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException clearly something to do with Phantom. On Windows ensure Phantom is running (Set Environment variable and add PATH)
Check that Remote Machine hub address is correct and you should be able to run phantomjs.
Note: Selenium Server must be running on the desired remote machine.
DesiredCapabilities phantomBeast = DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs();
try {
webDriverInstance = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubUrl), phantomBeast);
} catch (Exception e) {
//Do something
}
