is there anyway I can implement to follow page object pattern?

@dmarimoutou if you are using typescript you have to extend the Global interface as

declare module NodeJS {
    interface Global {
       mySharedData: any
    }
}

@rajukrish:matrix.org yes you can use it in other classes, just not in spec files outside of an 'it' block is my understanding.

ok thanks Olga

@dmarimoutou

Thanks a lot @osmolyar . Do you know why I'm facing this Typescript error: Object is possibly 'undefined'.ts(2532) when I declare my shared object in my step definition like that this.mySharedData = myvalue?

hi everybody, does anyone use parallel testing with wdio cucumberjs appium and browserstack?

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

that's a very generic question, if you have a specific question I suggest asking that instead

@erwinheitzman: thanks, currently I use wdio with maxInstances: 1, so it runs features sequentially

since ios tests takes long time I am wondering to run test in parallel on different devices

my worry is related to the external report

i create a json for the cucumberjs report

it works for single thread

but I increase maxInstances let's say to 2

what will happen?

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

I think that depends on the reporter

but you'd probably get two json files

Federico Francia

import cucumberJson from "wdio-cucumberjs-json-reporter";

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

however, running it once and see what happens would have been faster and more reliable then to ask here :P

I have never used that reporter myself so I don't really know how it generates files

Hi there!

For someone still stuck on version 5, is there somewhere where I can find docs on the hooks as they were in that version? I know they have different params, and I can't seem to find reference docs now - the site will only take me to the version 7 docs for the hooks.

@pyxis828

I have tried that - not helpful

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

how is it not helpful? we have documentation for al versions back to v4

Kirstin Walsh

@pyxis828

the hook documentation doesn't seem to be there - at least I can't find it

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

http://v4.webdriver.io/guide/testrunner/configurationfile.html

that's v4 sorry

Kirstin Walsh

@pyxis828

might be good though - I'll try it

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

https://v5.webdriver.io/docs/options.html#hooks

all info should be available

Kirstin Walsh

@pyxis828

just gives a list of what hooks are available, no params

thanks @dmarimoutou

I try to ask my question there

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

@pyxis828 the documentation keeps updating, I suggest to take the latest documentation in cases where you feel you are missing some details

Hi, could anyone advise how I would use multiremote with wdio/cucumber-framework? To be more specific I am trying to do automated testing of a chat-type application (ie two browsers open, one for each side of a conversation)

Kirstin Walsh

@pyxis828

@erwinheitzman I appreciate your suggestion, but I know for a fact that the params were changed in version 7, and do NOT match what was there in v5 - it was a huge problem for me and 1 of the main reasons I have not yet updated to V7 (along with some other sync/async errors that I have occurring), along with the fact that I have 0 time to work on the upgrade. And now I am going to add another before hook to throw some more confusion into the mix for the future upgrade, lol

@evilC

@federicoitaly:matrix.org Yes, I see that, but I am rather new to wdio/cucumber and have no idea how to do that in cucumber-framework

Federico Francia

ok, maybe there is a boilerplate with multiremote
