WebDriver not working in mojave-base when it worked in high-sierra-base

[KronicDeth]

Build that were auto-upgraded from high-sierra-base to mojave-base or with an updated .cirrus.yml are stuck with the following prompt:

{"value":{"error":"session not created","message":"Could not create a session: You must enable the 'Allow Remote Automation' option in Safari's Develop menu to control Safari via WebDriver.","stacktrace":""}}
error: test failed, to rerun pass '--test web'

https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4760821944549376?command=lumen_web_test#L260

The .cirrus.yml already contained sudo safaridriver --enable calls, which do succeed, but unlike on high-sierra-base, this is not enough to get Safari working with Web Driver.

Can you enable some setting in the image to fix this?

Sorry to hear about the regression! Quick Googling doesn't show how to automate setting Allow Remote Automation via command line. Will investigate further to see how to modify the recipes for the images.

I wasn't able to find a viable way to automate this configuration. I prefer not to modify the VMs manually so not sure what to do here. How crucial for you testing on Safari?

[KronicDeth]

We’re running the macOS VMs specifically to get WebAssembly testing in Safari. There’s not really a point for the macOS builds without it for us until we start using the macOS build to create precompiled binaries, which isn’t for a 4-6 weeks.

Got it. Just manually modified the VM. Please try to re-enable the tests again.

The build (https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5356567184015360) is fixed (GetFirefly/firefly#319). Thanks @fkorotkov.
