Introduction
Advanced Configuration and Reporting in WebDriverIO is where things get serious. I love customizing my config to add reporting, parallelization, retries, and better error logging.
Config Tweaks
In wdio.conf.js
:
JavaScript
maxInstances: 2,
retry: 1,
waitforTimeout: 10000,
logLevel: 'info',
Adding Allure Reporting
Bash
npm install --save-dev @wdio/allure-reporter
Update config:
JavaScript
reporters: ['spec', ['allure', { outputDir: 'allure-results' }]],
Run tests:
Bash
npx wdio run wdio.conf.js
Generate reports:
Bash
allure generate allure-results --clean -o allure-report
allure open
Conclusion
With proper configuration and reporting, your test suite becomes a powerful asset in the QA pipeline. You’ve now reached the advanced tier of WebDriverIO usage. Stay tuned as I explore even more testing tools and frameworks!
