webdriver clear cookies and empty caches

Hi,

I am a newbie here.

Using CucumberWithSerenity to execute tests along with Maven as build tool. When I execute launch tests for Chrome and Firefox, the CucumberWithSerenity clears all the cookies (and maybe caches) before launch of each test.

e.g

1. mvn clean install -Dwebdriver.driver=chrome

2. mvn clean install -Dwebdriver.driver=firefox

However when I do launch safari browser by using the command,

mvn clean install -Dwebdriver.driver=safari

the cookies are not cleared.

This affects the way the automated test cases are being designed.

Is there a way in SafariWebdriver that we can clear the cookies?

If there is list of files/folders which can removed before launch of the browser, can anyone provide such a list?

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)

I'm not aware about the tool Cucumber with Serenity , perhaps by entering in user library : macOS Sierra: Library folder

Find folders Caches and Cookies select all the contents and delete them , restart the machine and empty the trash .

And removing files / folders before launching the browser ? You have to open the browser , but there should be reason the files should be deleted.

Avoid unidentified apps in the system .

Hi tygb,

Cucumber is a software tool used by computer programmers for testing other software. It runs automated acceptance tests written in a behavior-driven development (BDD) style.

I do not know all the files and folders which serve as cache. Just didnt want to delete everything, hence the post here.
