Applitools Example: WebdriverIO in JavaScript

Applitools Example: WebdriverIO in JavaScript

This is the example project for the WebdriverIO JavaScript tutorial. It shows how to start automating visual tests with the Applitools Eyes and WebdriverIO in JavaScript.

It uses:

• JavaScript as the programming language
• WebdriverIO for browser automation
• Google Chrome as the local browser for testing
• npm for dependency management
• Applitools Eyes for visual testing

It can also run tests with:

• Applitools Ultrafast Grid for cross-browser execution
• Applitools Execution Cloud for self-healing remote WebDriver sessions

To run this example project, you'll need:

1. A free Applitools account.
2. The Node.js version 12 or higher.
3. A good JavaScript editor, such as Visual Studio Code.
4. npm (typically bundled with Node.js).
5. An up-to-date version of Google Chrome.
6. A corresponding version of ChromeDriver.

To install project dependencies, run:

npm install
npm install chromedriver --detect_chromedriver_version

The main test case is acme-bank.test.js. By default, the project will run tests with Ultrafast Grid but not Execution Cloud. You can change these settings in the test file.

To execute tests, set the APPLITOOLS_API_KEY environment variable to your account's API key, and then run:

npm test
