I'm having a problem adding and deleting cookies with the native SafariDriver in Safari 10.0: A generic WebDriverException is thrown and I'm looking for a fix or a workaround.
This is occurring with the following components:
- Mac OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
- Safari 10.0 [provides native implementation of SafariDriver]
- Selenium 3.0.1
The following document indicates that the native SafariDriver in Safari 10 no longer requires installation of the Selenium SafariDriver extension, but depends on Selenium 3.0 or higher. And I've ensured that Selenium 3.x is being used and that Selenium 2.x is not on my system.
While testing, the browser window has the orange SmartSearch field, and throws the exception below when clicking the test window. I know the test framework is using the correct audio driver because of the following system property,and the fact that the exception thrown indicates the Selenium version as 3.0.1
The webdriver.safari.driver Mac OS X system property is set to /usr/bin/safaridriver
The following works with Safari:
driver.manage().getCookies();
The following fails with Safari, but works with Chrome
driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
Exception stack trace for addCookie()

This was a known issue in safaridriver. It is fixed in Safari 11.
