WebdriverIO 6 tutorial
Note: This is for WebdriverIO 6. There are different tutorials for WebdriverIO 4 and WebdriverIO 5.
Getting Started with Applitools
Want to learn more about the Applitools platform and how it works? First get started with one of the following:
Running Tests with Applitools
Prerequisites
- A free Applitools account and Applitools API KEY
Tip: Unsure how to set up your API key?
Learn how to get started at Setting Up
Node.js https://nodejs.org
Note: Installing `git` is optional
Installing git is used to clone the demo project from the Github repository. Instead of installing git, you can simply download the Zip file from the repository. Further, if you are Mac, you already have git.
Google Chrome Browser https://www.google.com/chrome/
ChromeDriver https://chromedriver.chromium.org/getting-started
ChromeDriver must be installed and in your `PATH`
Below are some resources from the internet that'll help you
On Mac, place the chromedriver executable in /usr/local/bin folder so Eclipse and IntelliJ can find it.
Option 1 - Run With The Ultrafast Grid
Running the Example Project
- Clone or download the repository and navigate to that folder
git clone https://github.com/applitools/tutorial-webdriverio6-ultrafastgrid
cd tutorial-webdriverio6-ultrafastgrid

Note: you can alternatively download the project as a Zip file and extract it
- Install the dependencies
npm install
1
- Run the example test
APPLITOOLS_API_KEY="[Your API Key]" npm test
1
This will first set your APPLITOOLS_API_KEY into the node process then run npm test.
Adding Applitools Eyes to an Existing Node.js WebdriverIO Project
Install Applitools Eyes dependencies:
npm install @applitools/eyes-webdriverio --save-dev
