Geb Safari automation

[OCsite <oc...@ocs.cz>]

Hi there,

I'd like to use Geb for a Safari (not FF/Chrome) automation; can anyone help? I've tried steps from this article:

https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2013/02/browser-automation-and-acceptance-testing-with-geb/

just updated for Safari instead of Firefox and using current versions of the frameworks — but it does not work; it looks like not even the newest Geb supports Safari, based on the driver list?!? Searching the Web for “geb safari” I found a lot of hints it should work, but not one example howto, not even at https://gebish.org/manual/current/ — I must be missing something obvious :(

Can anyone help? Thanks!

I just started looking into this myself, and I haven't gotten this working
yet, but I came across this the other day during my initial investigation:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/testing_with_webdriver_in_safari

The Java library may need to be updated to work with Apple's own
Webdriver-Safari implementation.
