Writing Your First WebDriverIO Test Script

Estimated reading: 1 minute 74 views

Introduction

Writing Your First WebDriverIO Test Script is where the fun begins. Now that I’ve set up the framework, it’s time to test the login form on our demo app.

Creating the Test File

Inside the /test/specs/ directory, I create a file:

Bash

touch signin.e2e.js

Then I write this basic test:

JavaScript

describe('Sign In Page Test', () => {
  it('should load the sign in page and check title', async () => {
    await browser.url('/pages-signin.html');
    const title = await browser.getTitle();
    expect(title).toContain('Sign In');
  });
});

Running the Test

I execute:

Bash

npx wdio run wdio.conf.js

The browser opens the sign-in page and verifies the title contains “Sign In”.
