What is @wdio/local-runner?

@wdio/local-runner is a part of the WebdriverIO test automation framework. It allows you to run WebdriverIO tests locally on your machine. This package is particularly useful for running end-to-end tests in a local environment, providing a streamlined way to execute and manage test suites.

What are @wdio/local-runner's main functionalities?

Running Tests Locally

This feature allows you to run WebdriverIO tests locally. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a local WebdriverIO session, navigate to a URL, retrieve the page title, and then close the session.

const { remote } = require('webdriverio');

(async () => {
    const browser = await remote({
        capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' }
    });

    await browser.url('https://webdriver.io');
    const title = await browser.getTitle();
    console.log('Title was: ' + title);

    await browser.deleteSession();
})();

Parallel Test Execution

This feature allows you to run multiple test instances in parallel, which can significantly speed up the test execution time. The code sample shows a configuration file where the `maxInstances` property is set to 5, allowing up to 5 parallel test executions.

exports.config = {
    runner: 'local',
    specs: [
        './test/specs/**/*.js'
    ],
    maxInstances: 5,
    capabilities: [{
        maxInstances: 5,
        browserName: 'chrome'
    }],
    ...
};

Custom Services

This feature allows you to integrate custom services like Selenium Standalone, Appium, etc., into your test runner. The code sample shows how to add the `selenium-standalone` service to the WebdriverIO configuration.

exports.config = {
    runner: 'local',
    services: ['selenium-standalone'],
    ...
};
