WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");

I have also gone through the official website but that is also not working.

The old SafariDriver implementation is no longer maintained and should not be used. You do not need to download anything besides Safari 10 to get the Apple-developed driver. This article explains everything https://webkit.org/blog/6900/webdriver-support-in-safari-10/

On MAC-System, in Safari browser -safari webdriver will be installed by default.To make selenium scripts to run on safari browser you have to make following settings in browser:

Provide the default setting for the Selenium Webdriver Extension:

  1. Click on “Safari” > “Preferences” > “Extensions” > You will find Selenium extension
  2. Select “Enable Webdriver”

Safari Webdriver setup():

WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");

Now all the settings are done and now we should be able to launch our Selenium scripts using Safari browser
