WDIO ChromeDriver Service

This service helps you to run ChromeDriver seamlessly when running tests with the WDIO testrunner. It uses the chromedriver NPM package that wraps the ChromeDriver for you.

Note: this service does not require a Selenium server, but uses ChromeDriver to communicate with the browser directly.

Obviously, it only supports:

1capabilities: [{
2    browserName: 'chrome'
3}]

Installation

The easiest way is to keep wdio-chromedriver-service as a devDependency in your package.json.

1{
2  "devDependencies": {
3    "wdio-chromedriver-service": "^8.0.0"
4  }
5}

You can simple do it by:

1npm install wdio-chromedriver-service --save-dev

Note: You have to install chromedriver separately, as it's a peerDependency of this project, and you're free to choose what version to use. Depending of which version of Chrome you have installed on your system you should install the same version of chromedriver. Install it using:

1npm install chromedriver --save-dev
2# if you have Chrome 104 installed on your machine do
3npm install chromedriver@104 --save-dev

Instructions on how to install WebdriverIO can be found here.

Configuration

By design, only Google Chrome is available (when installed on the host system). In order to use the service you need to add chromedriver to your service array:

1// wdio.conf.js
2export.config = {
3  outputDir: 'all-logs',
4  // ...
5  services: [
6    ['chromedriver', {
7        logFileName: 'wdio-chromedriver.log', // default
8        outputDir: 'driver-logs', // overwrites the config.outputDir
9        args: ['--silent']
10    }]
11  ],
12  // ...
13};

Options

port

The port on which the driver should run on

Example: 7676

Type: number

path

Example: /

Type: string

protocol

pollTimeout

The startup timeout in ms, it checks if the port is open before starting ChromeDriver and then checks again if the it is closed after starting it.

Example: wdio-chromedriver.log

Type: string

chromedriverCustomPath
