This is a simple project to help you start writing tests against the WebdriverIO API using the latest ES2015 syntax.
To get started, open up a terminal and perform a global (-g) install of selenium-standalone, a simple module for running a local Selenium server.
npm install -g selenium-standalone
After it finishes installing, run the following command in your terminal for installing the web drivers for the browsers you use on your operating system.
selenium-standalone install
Since the Firefox web driver is probably already installed, this will probably install Chrome for Mac or IE for Windows. If you want to install a specific architecture, you can refer to the documentation for selenium-standalone.
From the terminal window, perform a global install of webdriverio, which is our WebdriverIO testrunner.
npm install -g webdriverio
Download the .zip file or clone this repository to your computer.
To install all the dependencies you need to run the project, navigate to the folder you just downloaded or cloned and type the following command into the terminal.
npm install
Now, you're going to need a terminal window open all the time, running Selenium. If you close the window, Selenium will shut down.
selenium-standalone start
Now, Selenium is ready to use.
There is a starter test for you all ready to go (specified at the top of /test/wdio.conf.js). Open a new terminal window, navigate to the project directory and type npm test.
