it('should get/delete current session using the protocol command', function () {
    // retrieve the resolved capabilities of the specified session
    var caps = browser.session();
    console.log(caps); // outputs: { browserName: "...", ... }

    // you can also just call (see http://webdriver.io/guide/testrunner/browserobject.html)
    console.log(browser.desiredCapabilities);

    // delete the session (equivalent to `end` action command)
    // Note: the wdio testrunner doesn't allow to call this command manually. It will close the session
    // when the test has ended.
    browser.session('delete'); // throws an error
});
