Unable to pass applicationName as capability in serenity.driver.capabilities

[remyanekkuth]

Recently migrated to selenium grid 4. We use serenity framework and was using serenity.driver.capabilities= ApplicationName:value for reading custom capability.

In selenium 4 now need to mention

“networkName:applicationName”: “value”
“Nodename:applicationName “:”nodeName”

But when I read as
Serenity.driver.capabilities=Nodename:applicationName:value

or with networkName.

it’s not pulling the selenium node.

Since selenium 3 had applicationName as capability, serenity.driver.capabilities =applicationName:value works …

how can I use the serenity.driver.capabilities in case of selenium 4

I am currently facing the same problem here. I defined serenity.driver.capabilities=APPLICATION_NAME:value in serenity.properties but nothing is shown in selenium.

Worked with Selenium 3
Now switched to Serenity 3.5.0 and Selenium 4 and its not working

Selenium 4 Grid has the option to pass metadata with the tests
See: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/grid/getting_started/#metadata-in-tests
I would like to pass the application name with the capability se:name as in the example
chromeOptions.setCapability("se:name", "My simple test");
to see it in the Grid UI

But I could not figure out to do it in serenity.conf because only W3C standard capabilites are allowed for chrome and probably the other browsers. Is there another option to set this capability?

Or can we have a separate se:options{} group for the selenium grid like the other platforms that have their own capabilites e.g.: sauce:options or bstack.options?
