WDIO OpenFIn Service

---

This service helps you to run ChromeDriver seamlessly when running tests with the WDIO testrunner and OpenFin Runtime. It uses the chromedriver NPM package that wraps the ChromeDriver for you. Major version number of this serivce matches that of chromedriver. A branch is created for each majnor ugrade of chromedriver with 'v[major#]' as the name.

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

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