}What happened?
Running wdio repl with multiremote capability object (as shown in repl examples) doesn't work
// wdio.conf.ts
export const config: WebdriverIO.MultiremoteConfig = {
...
capabilities: {
foobar: {
capabilities: {
platformName: "Android",
"appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2"
}
}
}
};$ yarn wdio repl wdio.conf.ts foobar
...
Error: No capability found in given config file with the provided capability indexed/named property: foobar. Please check the capability in your wdio config file.One way to get it working is to flatten the nested capabilities object ...
export const config: WebdriverIO.MultiremoteConfig = {
...
capabilities: {
foobar: {
- capabilities: {
platformName: "Android",
"appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2"
- }
}
}
};... but doing so breaks the config object for other wdio commands
$ yarn wdio repl wdio.conf.ts foobar
...
The execution has stopped!
You can now go into the browser or use the command line as REPL
(To exit, press ^C again or type .exit)
