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

@federicoitaly:matrix.org

[m]

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: https://webdriver.io/docs/multiremote/

Clive Galway

@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

@federicoitaly:matrix.org

ok, maybe there is a boilerplate with multiremote

Clive Galway

@evilC

in cucumber, you don't seem to have control over newing up of the browser object?

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

@evilC just define multiremote capabilities in your wdio conf that uses cucumber

there is nothing special about it

Clive Galway

@evilC

Yeah I saw the cucumber boilerplate and it purports to implement multiremote but I can't find anywhere it uses it

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

the webdriverio cucumber boilerplate doesn’t use multiremote

but to do so just modify the capabilities in your wdio.conf

Erwin Heitzman

@erwinheitzman

@pyxis828 in that case, just console.log the arguments ^^;

@RevNight

Can anyone here help me with the syntax for WaitUntil()? I tried several ways to get the Function() typed properly, but it still isn't working

@evilC

Yeah I had a stab at that but got nowhere unfortunately.
Currently I have

  capabilities: [
    {
      // maxInstances can get overwritten per capability. So if you have an in-house Selenium
      // grid with only 5 firefox instances available you can make sure that not more than
      // 5 instances get started at a time.
      maxInstances: 5,
      //
      "goog:chromeOptions": {
        args: ["use-fake-ui-for-media-stream"],
      },
      browserName: "chrome",
      acceptInsecureCerts: true,
      // If outputDir is provided WebdriverIO can capture driver session logs
      // it is possible to configure which logTypes to include/exclude.
      // excludeDriverLogs: ['*'], // pass '*' to exclude all driver session logs
      // excludeDriverLogs: ['bugreport', 'server'],
    },
  ],

And I tried putting in what appeared to be along the lines of what I wanted

    capabilities: {
        browserA: {
            capabilities: {
                browserName: 'chrome',
            }
        },
        browserB: {
            capabilities: {
                browserName: 'chrome'
            }
        }
    },

But then everything stopped working, never even seemed to get the the point in my tests where I would normally execute browser.url(foo)

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

Yes because all step definitions don’t support multiremote because every result is now an array

you have to define your own step definitions

Clive Galway

@evilC

ERROR @wdio/cli:utils: A service failed in the 'onPrepare' hook

Right, but existingly, the first executed step goes something like

Given(/^I am logged in as an agent/, () => {
  pages["login"].open();

Which would execute

class Page {
  static open(path) {
    if (path === "login") {
      return browser.url(awsUrl);
