selenium 2.45 with mac 10.11 and safari 9 not able to run

Question

I am not able to run selenium with mac 10.11 and safari 9. Error is : org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: SafariDriver requires Safari 10 running on OSX El Capitan or greater.

Configuration I used are : Selenium : 2.45.0; 2.48.0 Safari browser version : 9.1.3 Mac OS 10.11.6 OS X El Capitan Java JDK : 1.8

Safari extension I used is from 2.45 or 2.48 selenium from link http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html and have installed safari extension in safari. I am using maven to download selenium.

Any pointers is appreciated.

Did it used to work? Did you try to diagnose this at all? There is not enough information present to help you. — Brian Burg, Aug 10 '17 at 18:41

Well the exception says
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: SafariDriver requires Safari 10 running on OSX El Capitan or greater.

And you said you are using:

Safari browser version : 9.1.3

I'd say you have to update your browser.

I was also facing issues in initiating safari browser on mac machine, and below solution helped me. I am using Java 8, Selenium Webdriver, TestNG, Page Object Model, Page Factory in my GUI automation framework.

if (browserType.equals("safari")) {
            // System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver", workingDir +
            // "//driver//SafariDriverServer.exe");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver",
                    "/driver/SafariDriver.safariextz");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.noinstall", "true");
            DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities
                    .safari();
            SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
            safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
            safariOptions.getUseCleanSession();
            safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
            desiredCapabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY,
                    safariOptions);

            // deleteCookies();
            driver = new EventFiringWebDriver(new SafariDriver());

            ThreadDriver.set(driver);
            // driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1024, 850));
            getDriver().manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3,
                    TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
        }
