nightwatch 2.0.0-alpha.4

v2.0.0-alpha.4

on Node.js NPM

New features

• Added enable_fail_fast setting and --fail-fast cli argument to abort the test runner after a failed test suite

Important Changes

Below are notable changes from the previous alpha version (2.0.0-alpha.3):

• Updated the integrated Cucumber test runner - see working with cucumber in Nightwatch for details;
• Updated the new creatClient() external method for programmatic usage; the new client now contains the following methods:
  • client.settings - returns the current settings
  • client.updateCapabilities() - can be used to updated capabilities before starting a new Webdriver session (before calling .launchBrowser())
  • client.launchBrowser()

const Nightwatch = require('nightwatch');

const client = Nightwatch.createClient({
  browserName: 'firefox',
  headless: true
});

client.updateCapabilities({
  testCapability: 'one, two, three'
});
const browser = await client.launchBrowser();

Other Changes:

• Improved terminal output in case of session create errors
• Removed deprecated request dependency
• Fixed an issue with making the browser object available as a global
• Updated Mocha to v9.1.3 and added support for the mocha runner to use the disable_colors setting
