//
// The specs are defined as an array of spec files (optionally using wildcards
// that will be expanded). The test for each spec file will be run in a separate
// worker process. In order to have a group of spec files run in the same worker
// process simply enclose them in an array within the specs array.
//
// If you are calling `wdio` from an NPM script (see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script),
// then the current working directory is where your `package.json` resides, so `wdio`
// will be called from there.

// ============
// Capabilities
// ============
// Define your capabilities here. WebdriverIO can run multiple capabilities at the same
// time. Depending on the number of capabilities, WebdriverIO launches several test
// sessions. Within your capabilities you can overwrite the spec and exclude options in
// order to group specific specs to a specific capability.
//
// First, you can define how many instances should be started at the same time. Let's
// say you have 3 different capabilities (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) and you have
// set maxInstances to 1; wdio will spawn 3 processes. Therefore, if you have 10 spec
// files and you set maxInstances to 10, all spec files will get tested at the same time
// and 30 processes will get spawned. The property handles how many capabilities
// from the same test should run tests.
//
maxInstances: 2,
injectGlobals:true,

// If you have trouble getting all important capabilities together, check out the
// Sauce Labs platform configurator - a great tool to configure your capabilities:

    // maxInstances can get overwritten per capability. So if you have an in-house Selenium

@waleedKhalidCalrom thanks for raising the issue. Unfortunately you didn't provide any error messages or logs from the failed test which makes it impossible to reason about what is going on.

[waleedKhalidCalrom]

Thanks, @christian-bromann, the issue is resolved.

However, I am now encountering a problem with the latest version of @wdio/junit-reporter. It is generating an empty XML file like this:

results.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites tests="0" failures="0" errors="0" skipped="0"/>

I have tried using @wdio/junit-reporter version 8.0.14, and this version works correctly.

Is there a known issue with the latest version?

People have already raised this issue, but I think it is still not resolved.
#9352

[christian-bromann]

Mind raising an issue with a minimal reproducible example for this?
