Proposed changes

Aligning the multi-remote Browser global variable with appropriate camelCasing rules.

  • I propose to adopt Multi-remote naming from now on (see here)

"Multi-remote" or "multi-remote programming" refers to managing multiple devices (like TVs, stereos, streaming boxes) with a single device,

  • After validation of camelCase rules, multi-remote Browser translates to multiRemoteBrowser. (see here, e.g. with no intervening spaces or punctuation where dash is a ponctuation)
  • multiremote references still exist, but renaming is out of scope

Bonus:

  • Add vitest to run in one click
  • Fix conflicting case of prettier+eslint when Prettier plugin is installed

Types of changes

  • Polish (an improvement for an existing feature)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update (improvements to the project's docs)
  • Internal updates (everything related to internal scripts, governance documentation and CI files)

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING doc
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • I have added the necessary documentation (if appropriate)
  • I have added proper type definitions for new commands (if appropriate)

Backport Request

//: # (The current main branch is the development branch for WebdriverIO v9. If your change should be released to the current major version of WebdriverIO (v8), please raise another PR with the same changes against the v8 branch.)

  • This change is solely for v9 and doesn't need to be back-ported
