Hi I am having an issue with 8.15.4. I upgraded and removed the chromedriver-service form the package.json file. I added the browserVersion to the capabilities and removed the service.

capabilities: [
    {
        // Set maxInstances to 1 if screen recordings are enabled:
        maxInstances: 1,
        browserName: 'chrome',
        browserVersion: 'stable',
        'goog:chromeOptions': {
            args: (process.env.CHROME_ARGS) ? [process.env.CHROME_ARGS] : []
        }
    }
]

after building and running I get the following errors.

Thanks in advance

It seems that you still have chromedriver in the list of services in your WebdriverIO config. Can you verify you removed it there too?

On Webdriver v8.14 I got my tests working after commenting out chromedriver from the services array.

here is the file:

import { BaseConfig } from "./base.conf.js";
import * as process from "process";
import { ScreenSize } from "../utils/screenSize.js";
/*

Notes:

 driver is installed by chromedriver in lib/chromedriver of module folder.

*/
const ChromeOptions = {
path: '/',
port: 9515,
//@ts-ignore
chromeDriverLogs: './logs',
screenSize: new ScreenSize(1400, 1400)
};
const ChromeConfig = {
capabilities: [
{
// Set maxInstances to 1 if screen recordings are enabled:
maxInstances: 1,
browserName: 'chrome',
'goog:chromeOptions': {
args: (process.env.CHROME_ARGS) ? [process.env.CHROME_ARGS] : []
}
}
]
};
process.env.TEST_BROWSER = "Chrome";
const config = Object.assign({}, BaseConfig, ChromeOptions, ChromeConfig);
export { config, ChromeOptions, ChromeConfig };

the line below was removed:

```
services: ['chromedriver'],
```

I checked the js and it is not there.

I have cleaned and rebuilt, and it seems I may have had some leftovers. This is the error I am now getting.

I get a similar error for edge and firefox.

Can you provide the full wdio logs or a minimal reproducible example?

I cant for this project. I was able to replicate it on another project with I can send. same exact error. ECONNREFUSED on 9515. I will get the logs for that project

@rpetersii note that I am not asking to get a copy of your project, I am asking to get a reproducible example that uses a similar setup as yours to help me reproduce the problem.

Here is the wdio log and the conf files
wdio-0-0.log
wdio.config.zip

If you need the whole project I can try to trim it out.

@rpii these logs unfortunately don't really help much. A minimal reproducible example or the full wdio logs would help.

Here is a sample project. It also got posted in some other thread by accident.. my bad

thats because of some strange bug where webdriverio doesnt find the tests without a full path. that is the only place there is any hard path

rpii Aug 26, 2023

So Christian if you edit line 70 of base.config.ts

to
"../../../build/test/specs/login.spec.js",

that will work and show the other problem. of starting chrome.
The hard coding was to work around line 28 or @wdio/config/FileSystemPathService.js

const fileName = pattern.startsWith(path.sep) ? pattern : path.resolve(rootDir, pattern);
where rootDir points to config file folder and not the folder the run was started from.
It ends up generating an incorrect absolute path and causing a fatal error.

@rpetersii I recommend to set the path of your tests relative to the config file. Furthermore there is no need to compile your test files from TypeScript to JavaScript. WebdriverIO can do that in memory and safe you this step. I recommend to check out some of our boilerplate projects e.g. jasmine-boilerplate to see how it is set up there.

rpii Aug 28, 2023

Thank you for pointing that out. The docs (I dont know where) say that the path there is relative to the folder invoked from. I dont think that is true in version 8, and it was true in version 7. At any rate, with that one fix, are you able to see the error with chromedriver? I was able to move that folder and it ran and showed the error.

rpii Aug 28, 2023

Ok I have refactored this by looking at a sample project. It should replicate easily
wdio-e2e-test.zip

I want to ask one question.
should I remove code services: ['chromedriver'] ?

rpii Aug 29, 2023

That is what this is testing. running without services. It doesnt work in this example

Christian, do you have any chance to look at the latest example? It generates the error Rich
