Change the safari location.

I'm new to Safari and when I give :

new SafariDriver()

I get :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The expected Safari data directory does not exist: /Users/root/Library/Safari

I tried even the following:

        DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
        cap.setCapability("safari.dataDir","/Users/me/Library/Safari")
        driver = new SafariDriver(cap);

But facing the same issue. Where I'm making mistake?

Thanks.

When launching the hub and node, don't use 'sudo' as this would search for Safari at the root level, but you might have installed Safari under your login user name.

If you are admin on your Mac, try simply 'java -jar selenium-standalone.x.x.x.jar -role hub' from the account where you logged in to install latest OSX update/safari

This appears to be a known issue.

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5293

Does the folder you are searching for even exist?
