- I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.
WebdriverIO Version
latest
Node.js Version
v20.18.0
Mode
WDIO Testrunner
Which capabilities are you using?
capabilities: [
{
browserName: 'chrome',
},
],
reporters: ['spec', ['C:\\u01\\workspace\\vscode-webdriverio\\packages\\vscode-webdriverio\\dist\\worker.cjs', {outputDir:'logs',stdout:true}]],What happened?
Based on this document, I set the full path of the custom reporter's module (typescript source code file) in the reporters configuration and it imported and worked properly as expected on Linux/macOS, but on Windows, It does not import properly and an error occurs.
e.g.
at linux/macOS: ['/path/to/reporter.js', { someOption: 'foobar' }] --> ok
at Windows: ['c:\path\to\reporter.js', { someOption: 'foobar' }] --> error
What is your expected behavior?
The module of a custom reporter can be imported even if windows environment.
How to reproduce the bug.
-
set the full path of the custom reporter module file to
reporterson the Windows platform. -
run wdio
Note.
Root cause is here. it will work fine In the posix system, but it won't in the windows system.
