Cucumber Viewport Logger Service

wdio-cucumber-viewport-logger-service is a 3rd party package, for more information please see GitHub | npm

Cucumber Viewport Logger Service for WebdriverIO

This service adds the possibility to log your Cucumber steps and other debug info directly to your browser window in your WebriverIO-based solution. Especially useful it can be in cases using devices or virtual machines without direct physical access to them and the possibility to set up an interactive session for deep debugging your e2e tests.

demo

Quick Start

Install the package:

npm install wdio-cucumber-viewport-logger-service --save-dev

Add service to your services config section, e.g.:

  services: [
//...
'cucumber-viewport-logger',
//...
]

API

logToViewport(message, styles) - render custom message with custom CSS style (not mandatory), you can use this in your step definitions e.g.:

When(/^I render message: "([^"]*)"$/, { timeout: 120000 }, function (message) {
browser.logToViewport(message, { text: { color: 'green' } });
});

removeViewportLogMessage() - remove viewport messages section, can be useful for example to do a visual assertion

pointerEvents: 'none'

By default, all mouse events (clicking, hovering, etc.) go through the message section, for example: instead of clicking on the message section your click "pass" to the element next to the message (your app element), if you wish to change this behavior set wrapper style 'pointerEvents' option to 'auto', eq:


/ wdio.conf.js
exports.config = {
// ...
services: [
['cucumber-viewport-logger', {

styles: {
wrapper: { pointerEvents: 'auto' },
},
},]
]
// ...
};
