Session not created Selenium/webdriver when using Safari 12

Question

Since upgrading to Safari 12, my automated scripts are now getting this error:

SessionNotCreatedError: Request body does not contain required parameter \'capabil         


        

Answer 1

This will also work if you get an error for 'await' when trying @mjdease solution above.

new webdriver.Builder()
    .usingServer(new safari.ServiceBuilder().addArguments('--legacy').build().start())
    .forBrowser('safari')
    .build();
