Motivation/Description of the PR
🛩️ With the release of WebdriverIO version
v8.14.0
, and onwards, all driver management hassles are now a thing of the past 🙌. Read more here.One of the significant advantages of this update is that you can now get rid of any driver services you previously had to manage, such as
wdio-chromedriver-service
,wdio-geckodriver-service
,wdio-edgedriver-service
,wdio-safaridriver-service
, and even@wdio/selenium-standalone-service
.For those who require custom driver options, fear not; WebDriver Helper allows you to pass in driver options through custom WebDriver configuration.
If you have a custom grid, use a cloud service, or prefer to run your own driver, there's no need to worry since WebDriver Helper will only start a driver when there are no other connection information settings like hostname or port specified.
Example:

For example:
