Selenium Grid

As well as JSONWire protocol bindings, Webdriverio also offers a few utility commands for working with the Selenium Grid. It’s often useful to know the details of the Grid node which is actually running the current session. Use getGridNodeDetails() to get a JSON object with details like ID, hostname and port, configured timeouts, plus any command-line params used to start the node.
