Using the environment flag when using multiple environments only runs against firefox

[gregoryduckworth]

When running in multiple environments, they all run as firefox.

For example running the command:

./node_modules/.bin/nightwatch -c conf/remote.conf.js -e chrome,ie --verbose

the log outputs:

Request POST http://hub-cloud.browserstack.com /wd/hub/session
   { capabilities:
      { browserName: 'firefox',
        acceptSslCerts: true,
        build:
         'nightwatchjs',
        project: 'Nightwatch',
        'browserstack.user': 'BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME',
        'browserstack.key': 'BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY',
        'browserstack.debug': true,
        name: 'Test' },
     desiredCapabilities:
      { browserName: 'firefox',
        acceptSslCerts: true,
        platform: 'ANY',
        build:
         'nightwatchjs',
        project: 'Nightwatch',
        'browserstack.user': 'BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME',
        'browserstack.key': 'BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY',
        'browserstack.debug': true,
        name: 'Test' } }

but when running a single environment:

./node_modules/.bin/nightwatch -c conf/remote.conf.js -e chrome --verbose

the log outputs correctly and it runs against browserstack correctly:

Request POST http://hub-cloud.browserstack.com /wd/hub/session
   { desiredCapabilities:
      { browserName: 'Chrome',
        acceptSslCerts: true,
        platform: 'ANY',
        build:
         'nightwatchjs',
        project: 'Nightwatch',
        'browserstack.user': 'BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME',
        'browserstack.key': 'BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY',
        'browserstack.debug': true,
        os: 'Windows',
        os_version: '7',
        resolution: '1366x768',
        name: 'Test' } }

It appears as though the first scenario when using multiple environments creates a capabilities section which it doesn't on the second scenario and some of the values are not getting written.

My configuration is as follows:

var nightwatch_config = {
  src_folders: ['tests'],
  page_objects_path: ['pages'],
  globals_path: 'global.js',

  webdriver: {
    start_process: false,
    host: 'hub-cloud.browserstack.com',
    port: 80,
    default_path_prefix: '/wd/hub',
  },

  test_workers: true,

  test_settings: {
    default: {
      screenshots: {
        enabled: true,
        on_failure: true,
        on_error: true,
        path: 'screenshots/failures',
      },
      javascriptEnabled: true,
      skip_testcases_on_fail: false,
      desiredCapabilities: {
        build: 'nightwatchjs',
        project: 'Nightwatch',
        'browserstack.user':  'BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME',
        'browserstack.key': 'BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY',
        'browserstack.debug': true,
      },
    },
    chrome: {
      desiredCapabilities: {
        browserName: 'Chrome',
        os: 'Windows',
        os_version: '7',
        resolution: '1366x768',
      }
    },
    ie: {
      desiredCapabilities: {
        browserName: 'IE',
        browser_version: '11.0',
        os: 'Windows',
        os_version: '7',
        resolution: '1366x768',
        'browserstack.customSendKeys': 400,
      }
    },
  },
};

It's because you have test_workers: true, while you are running multiple environments. I will add an improvement to disable test_workers explicitly in such a scenario.

Thanks @beatfactor, disabling test_workers has solved the issue.
