WDIO GeckoDriver Service  

This service helps you to run GeckoDriver seamlessly when running tests with the WDIO testrunner. This service does not require a Selenium server, but uses the geckodriver NPM package that wraps the GeckoDriver for you or uses a global installed binary.

Example capabilities:

``js
capabilities: [{
browserName: 'firefox'
}]
`

Installation

`bash
npm install wdio-geckodriver-service --save-dev
`

Configuration

By design, only Firefox is available (when installed on the host system). In order to use the service you need to add geckodriver to your service array:

`js
// wdio.conf.js
export.config = {
// MANDATORY: Add geckodriver to service array.
// Default: empty array
services: [
[
'geckodriver',
// service options
{
// The path where the output of the Geckodriver server should
// be stored (uses the config.outputDir by default when not set).
outputDir: './logs',

// pass in custom options for Geckodriver, for more information see
// https://github.com/webdriverio-community/node-geckodriver#options
geckodriverOptions: {
log: 'debug' // set log level of driver
}
}
]
],
};
`
