C:\Selenium>go safari
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

According to this answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/9303889/… it could be due to using the 32-bit vs 64-bit version. – Sam Woods Dec 6 '12 at 16:59

You don't need to any more. As of 2.30.0 The Safari Driver extension is bundled inside the Selenium jar and automatically installed into Safari when you run tests against it.

It now just works :)

To quote https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SafariDriver

Starting with Selenium 2.30.0, the SafariDriver comes bundled with the Selenium server. If you wish to build the driver from source, head over to the SafariDriverInternals page. For now, grab a copy of the Selenium jar and add it to your classpath. Writing a test for Safari is just as straightforward as using the FirefoxDriver:

I am still struggling to get Safari working with version 2.30.0 - do we definitely not need to create the extension for Safari, then? – Tyler Feb 26 at 16:12

Positive, I've added a link to the SafariDriver wiki entry and pulled out the relevant quote. – Ardesco Feb 27 at 9:31
