WDIO Webpack Dev Server Service

This allows you to run a local server with your built static assets using Webpack Dev Server before testing.

Installation

1

npm install wdio-webpack-dev-server-service --save-dev

Configuration

This assumes you have:

• set up WebdriverIO.
• set up Webpack Dev Server - the example will use webpack.dev.config.js as the configuration file.

Add the Webpack Dev Server service to your WebdriverIO services list:

1
2
3
4
5
6

// wdio.conf.js
export.config = {
  // ...
  services: ['webpack-dev-server'],
  // ...
};

Options are set directly on your WebdriverIO config as well, e.g.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

// wdio.conf.js
export.config = {
  // ...
  webpackConfig: require('webpack.dev.config.js'),
  webpackPort: 8080,
  // ...
};

Options

webpackConfig

Type: String | Object

Default: webpack.config.js

Either the absolute path to your Webpack configuration, or your actual Webpack configuration.

webpackPort

Type: Number

Default: 8080

The port the Dev Server should be run on. You’ll want to set this same port in the baseUrl option of your WebdriverIO configuration.
