WebdriverIO

---

Homepage | Developer Guide | API Reference | Contribute

This library is a Webdriver (browser automation) module for Node.JS. It makes it possible to write super easy Selenium tests in your favorite BDD/TDD test framework, that will run locally or in the cloud using Sauce Labs, BrowserStack or TestingBot.

WebdriverIO is agnostic with regards to the test framework you want to use. Cucumber, Jasmine and Mocha+Chai are supported by the configuration wizard.

Installation

npm install webdriverio

or if you want to use the wdio test runner

npm install -g webdriverio

Getting started

Simply run wdio config and the configuration helper wizard will get you set up:

With all that done, have a look at the many examples.

Plugins

Syntax example

browser.url('http://google.com');
$('#q').setValue('webdriver');
$('#btnG').click();

Notice how this is far simpler than with the original selenium-webdriverjs,

driver.get('http://www.google.com');
driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');
driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id('btnG')).click();

and significantly simpler than with WD.js:

browser
  .get("http://www.google.com")
  .elementById('q')
  .sendKeys('webdriver')
  .elementById('btnG')
  .click()

For more details on the comparison between WebdriverIO, selenium-webdriverjs and WD.js, read this discussion. Also see more WebdriverIO examples in the example folder.
