Safari 12 refuses to parse dataURLs #4964
Description
Bug report
- Node Version:
v10.11.0 - Protractor Version:
5.4.1 - Angular Version:
6.1.8 - Browser(s):
Safari 12 - Operating System and Version
macOS 10.13.6 - Your protractor configuration file
The configuration file is the same as the one which was generated by the CLI. Only the browserName was changed and the directConnect property was removed.
// ... as provided by @angular/cli
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'safari'
},
// remove the directConnect property
// ...- A relevant example test
It's enough to just run the default tests.
ng e2e- Output from running the test
should display welcome message
- Failed: Could not parse requested URL 'data:text/html,<html></html>'
- Steps to reproduce the bug
npx --package @angular/cli ng new safari-test
cd safari-test
# Change the browserName in the config to 'safari' and remove the directConnect property.
ng e2eA workaround is to add browser.resetUrl = 'about:blank'; to the onPrepare function. But I think it would be nice if Protractor works with Safari out of the box. A fix for Safari which does at least not break tests with Chrome would be to change the DEFAULT_RESET_URL to 'about:blank'. But I don't know if that has implications which affect other browsers.

Please let me know if you think it is a viable solution. I'm happy to provide a pull request for changing that.
