WDIO Static Server Service
Some projects are front-end assets only and don't run on more than a static server. This service helps you to run a static file server during testing.
Installation
The easiest way is to keep wdio-static-server-service
as a devDependency in your package.json
.
{
"devDependencies": {
"wdio-static-server-service": "^1.0.0"
}
}
You can simple do it by:
npm install wdio-static-server-service --save-dev
