What steps are needed to configure Selenium Grid for WebdriverIO tests?

Hi Dipen,

First, set up Selenium Grid by configuring hub and node servers. Then, update the WebdriverIO configuration file (wdio.conf.js) to include your Selenium Grid URL in the hostname field.

Please refer to the below article for more details:

WebdriverIO can be integrated with popular test runners like Mocha or Jasmine. You can set up your test suite using these test runners, configuring them to execute WebdriverIO tests.

Use commands like npm test to execute your test suite, which will run WebdriverIO tests as part of the test runner’s execution flow.

Here are a few steps you can follow to configure Selenium Grid and WebdriverIO:

  • Integrate WebdriverIO tests into your CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or other CI/CD platforms. Configure pipeline steps to install dependencies, build your project, and execute WebdriverIO tests.

  • Use configuration files (e.g., Jenkinsfile, GitHub Actions workflow) to define stages and steps for running tests and deploying applications.

The above methods are alternative methods for running WebdriverIO tests beyond setting up Selenium Grid and configuring the wdio.conf.js file directly. They offer flexibility depending on your project’s requirements and preferred workflow automation tools.
