WebdriverIO Runner has built-in support for Mocha, Jasmine, and Cucumber.js. You can also integrate it with 3rd-party open-source frameworks, such as Serenity/JS.

Integrating WebdriverIO with test frameworks

To integrate WebdriverIO with a test framework, you need an adapter package available on NPM. Note that the adapter package must be installed in the same location where WebdriverIO is installed. So, if you installed WebdriverIO globally, be sure to install the adapter package globally, too.

Integrating WebdriverIO with a test framework lets you access the WebDriver instance using the global browser variable in your spec files or step definitions. Note that WebdriverIO will also take care of instantiating and ending the Selenium session, so you don't have to do it yourself.

Using Mocha​

First, install the adapter package from NPM:

npm install @wdio/mocha-framework --save-dev

By default WebdriverIO provides an assertion library that is built-in which you can start right away:

describe('my awesome website', () => {
    it('should do some assertions', async () => {
        await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
        await expect(browser).toHaveTitle('WebdriverIO · Next-gen browser and mobile automation test framework for Node.js | WebdriverIO')
    })
})

WebdriverIO supports Mocha's BDD (default), TDD, and QUnit interfaces.

If you like to write your specs in TDD style, set the ui property in your mochaOpts config to tdd. Now your test files should be written like this:

suite('my awesome website', () => {
    test('should do some assertions', async () => {
        await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
        await expect(browser).toHaveTitle('WebdriverIO · Next-gen browser and mobile automation test framework for Node.js | WebdriverIO')
    })
})

If you want to define other Mocha-specific settings, you can do it with the mochaOpts key in your configuration file. A list of all options can be found on the Mocha project website.

Note: WebdriverIO does not support the deprecated usage of done callbacks in Mocha:

it('should test something', (done) => {
    done() // throws "done is not a function"
})

Mocha Options​

The following options can be applied in your wdio.conf.js to configure your Mocha environment. Note: not all options are supported, e.g. applying the parallel option will cause an error as the WDIO testrunner has its own way to run tests in parallel. The following options however are supported:

require​

The require option is useful when you want to add or extend some basic functionality (WebdriverIO framework option).

Type: string|string[]
Default: []

Type: boolean
Default: false

Using Cucumber​

First, install the adapter package from NPM:

npm install @wdio/cucumber-framework --save-dev

If you want to use Cucumber, set the framework property to cucumber by adding framework: 'cucumber' to the config file .

Options for Cucumber can be given in the config file with cucumberOpts. Check out the whole list of options here.

To get up and running quickly with Cucumber, have a look on our cucumber-boilerplate project that comes with all the step definitions you need to get stared, and you'll be writing feature files right away.

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Please note that this is a @wdio/cucumber-framework specific option and not recognized by cucumber-js itself

failAmbiguousDefinitions​

Treat ambiguous definitions as errors.

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Please note that this is a @wdio/cucumber-framework specific option and not recognized by cucumber-js itself

tagExpression​

Only execute the features or scenarios with tags matching the expression. Please see the Cucumber documentation for more details.

Type: String
Default: ``

Please note that this option would be deprecated in future. Use tags config property instead

profile​

Specify the profile to use.

Type: string[]
Default: []

Kindly take note that only specific values (worldParameters, name, retryTagFilter) are supported within profiles, as cucumberOpts takes precedence. Additionally, when using a profile, make sure that the mentioned values are not declared within cucumberOpts.

Skipping tests in cucumber​

Note that if you want to skip a test using regular cucumber test filtering capabilities available in cucumberOpts, you will do it for all the browsers and devices configured in the capabilities. In order to be able to skip scenarios only for specific capabilities combinations without having a session started if not necessary, webdriverio provides the following specific tag syntax for cucumber:

@skip([condition])

were condition is an optional combination of capabilities properties with their values that when all matched with cause the tagged scenario or feature to be skipped. Of course you can add several tags to scenarios and features to skip a tests under several different conditions.

You can also use the '@skip' annotation to skip tests without changing `tagExpression'. In this case the skipped tests will be displayed in the test report.

Here you have some examples of this syntax:

  • @skip or @skip(): will always skip the tagged item
  • @skip(browserName="chrome"): the test will not be executed against chrome browsers.
  • @skip(browserName="firefox";platformName="linux"): will skip the test in firefox over linux executions.
  • @skip(browserName=["chrome","firefox"]): tagged items will be skipped for both chrome and firefox browsers.
  • @skip(browserName=/i.*explorer/): capabilities with browsers matching the regexp will be skipped (like iexplorer, internet explorer, internet-explorer, ...).

Import Step Definition Helper​

In order to use step definition helper like Given, When or Then or hooks, you are suppose to import then from @cucumber/cucumber, e.g. like this:

import { Given, When, Then } from '@cucumber/cucumber'

Now, if you use Cucumber already for other types of tests unrelated to WebdriverIO for which you use a specific version you need to import these helpers in your e2e tests from the WebdriverIO Cucumber package, e.g.:

import { Given, When, Then } from '@wdio/cucumber-framework'

This ensures that you use the right helpers within the WebdriverIO framework and allows you to use an independent Cucumber version for other types of testing.

Using Serenity/JS​

Serenity/JS is an open-source framework designed to make acceptance and regression testing of complex software systems faster, more collaborative, and easier to scale.

For WebdriverIO test suites, Serenity/JS offers:

Serenity BDD Report Example

Installing Serenity/JS​

To add Serenity/JS to an existing WebdriverIO project, install the following Serenity/JS modules from NPM:

npm install @serenity-js/{core,web,webdriverio,assertions,console-reporter,serenity-bdd} --save-dev

Configuring Serenity/JS​

To enable integration with Serenity/JS, configure WebdriverIO as follows:

wdio.conf.ts
import { WebdriverIOConfig } from '@serenity-js/webdriverio';

export const config: WebdriverIOConfig = {

    // Tell WebdriverIO to use Serenity/JS framework
    framework: '@serenity-js/webdriverio',

    // Serenity/JS configuration
    serenity: {
        // Configure Serenity/JS to use the appropriate adapter for your test runner
        runner: 'cucumber',
        // runner: 'mocha',
        // runner: 'jasmine',

        // Register Serenity/JS reporting services, a.k.a. the "stage crew"
        crew: [
            // Optional, print test execution results to standard output
            '@serenity-js/console-reporter',

            // Optional, produce Serenity BDD reports and living documentation (HTML)
            '@serenity-js/serenity-bdd',
            [ '@serenity-js/core:ArtifactArchiver', { outputDirectory: 'target/site/serenity' } ],

            // Optional, automatically capture screenshots upon interaction failure
            [ '@serenity-js/web:Photographer', { strategy: 'TakePhotosOfFailures' } ],
        ]
    },

    // Configure your Cucumber runner
    cucumberOpts: {
        // see Cucumber configuration options below
    },


    // ... or Jasmine runner
    jasmineOpts: {
        // see Jasmine configuration options below
    },

    // ... or Mocha runner
    mochaOpts: {
        // see Mocha configuration options below
    },

    runner: 'local',

    // Any other WebdriverIO configuration
};

Producing Serenity BDD reports and living documentation​

Serenity BDD reports and living documentation are generated by Serenity BDD CLI, a Java program downloaded and managed by the @serenity-js/serenity-bdd module.

To produce Serenity BDD reports, your test suite must:

  • download the Serenity BDD CLI, by calling serenity-bdd update which caches the CLI jar locally
  • produce intermediate Serenity BDD .json reports, by registering SerenityBDDReporter as per the configuration instructions
  • invoke the Serenity BDD CLI when you want to produce the report, by calling serenity-bdd run

The pattern used by all the Serenity/JS Project Templates relies on using:

  • a postinstall NPM script to download the Serenity BDD CLI
  • npm-failsafe to run the reporting process even if the test suite itself has failed (which is precisely when you need test reports the most...).
  • rimraf as a convenience method to remove any test reports left over from the previous run
package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "serenity-bdd update",
    "clean": "rimraf target",
    "test": "failsafe clean test:execute test:report",
    "test:execute": "wdio wdio.conf.ts",
    "test:report": "serenity-bdd run"
  }
}

Using Serenity/JS Screenplay Pattern APIs​

The Screenplay Pattern is an innovative, user-centred approach to writing high-quality automated acceptance tests. It steers you towards an effective use of layers of abstraction, helps your test scenarios capture the business vernacular of your domain, and encourages good testing and software engineering habits on your team.

By default, when you register @serenity-js/webdriverio as your WebdriverIO framework, Serenity/JS configures a default cast of actors, where every actor can:

This should be enough to help you get started with introducing test scenarios that follow the Screenplay Pattern even to an existing test suite, for example:

specs/example.spec.ts
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Navigate, Page } from '@serenity-js/web'
import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions'

describe('My awesome website', () => {
    it('can have test scenarios that follow the Screenplay Pattern', async () => {
        await actorCalled('Alice').attemptsTo(
            Navigate.to(`https://webdriver.io`),
            Ensure.that(
                Page.current().title(),
                equals(`WebdriverIO · Next-gen browser and mobile automation test framework for Node.js | WebdriverIO`)
            ),
        )
    })

    it('can have non-Screenplay scenarios too', async () => {
        await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
        await expect(browser)
            .toHaveTitle('WebdriverIO · Next-gen browser and mobile automation test framework for Node.js | WebdriverIO')
    })
})
