Unable to run remote tests using Selenium Grid Chrome in MAC OS

Question

I am having problems running my selenium grid in mac. I have downgraded my server standalone from 3.4 to 3.0.1. I get a System.InvalidOperationException using 3.4 so I downgraded till I get to 3.0.1 instead. I was able to open up the browser but the test won't continue. The exception that I generally get is:

 Only local connections are allowed.

I am stuck in this issue and well, I also tried using the older versions and it won't help.

UPDATE: I am now able to run it on Safari 9 but having problems running it with Chrome in MAC OS. The error is:

I have updated the google browser and used the older chromedriver so it would pull up the browser at least.. :(

Answer 1

Be sure that you have enabled automated test runs for Safari:

1. Ensure that the Develop menu is available.
   1. It can be turned on by opening Safari preferences (Safari> Preferences in the menu bar), going to the Advanced tab, and ensuring that the Show Develop menu in menu bar checkbox is checked.
2. Enable Remote Automation in the Develop menu. 1.This is toggled via Develop> Allow Remote Automation in the menu bar.
3. Authorize safaridriver to launch the webdriverd service which hosts the local web server.
   1. To permit this, run /usr/bin/safaridriver once manually and complete the authentication prompt.

Here is the code I use to start a Grid Node (Note: I keep my .jar in Documents/Selenium):

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Documents/Selenium/
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar -browser browserName=safari,platform=MAC -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register

• Marj: I still am not able to run it :( I have an outdated mac, and safari as well. I use Safari 9
• Marj: Now i am able to run it, I had to downgrade to 2.53.0. Thanks @kirbycope

Answer 2

I started my server using 2.53.0 of selenium grid, to run Safari 9.1.3. In order for me to run tests on chrome in MAC, I had to use 3.3.1 of selenium grid.
