WebdriverIO NULL-DRIVER Service

Some complex test suites mix browser and API interactions. This service lets WebdriverIO create a lightweight null session for API-only participants, so you don't waste real browser sessions—especially when running against Selenium Grid.

Installation

The easiest way is to add wdio-null-driver-service as a devDependency in your package.json, via:

npm install wdio-null-driver-service --save-dev

Instructions on how to install WebdriverIO can be found here.

Configuration

To use the null driver service, add null-driver to your service array:

// wdio.conf.js
export const config = {
    // ...
    services: ['null-driver'],
    // ...
};

Options
