WDIO Webpack Dev Server Service

This service starts Webpack Dev Server for you to run WebdriverIO against.

Installation

npm install wdio-webpack-dev-server-service --save-dev

Configuration

This assumes you have:

• set up WebdriverIO.
• set up Webpack Serve - the example will use webpack.dev.config.js as the configuration file.

Note: If you need support for webpack-dev-server (which is in maintenance mode) and Webpack 2 or 3, use webpack-dev-server-service@1.2.0.

Add the Webpack Dev Server service to your WebdriverIO services list:

// wdio.conf.js
export.config = {
  // ...
  services: ['webpack-dev-server'],
  // ...
};

Options are set directly on your WebdriverIO config as well, e.g.

// wdio.conf.js
export.config = {
  // ...
  webpackConfig: require('webpack.dev.config.js'),
  webpackPort: 8080,
  // ...
};

Options

webpackConfig

Type: String | Function | Object

Default: webpack.config.js

Either the absolute path to your Webpack configuration, or (a function generating) your actual Webpack configuration.

webpackPort

Type: Number

Default: 8080

The port the Dev Server should be run on. You'll want to set this same port in the baseUrl option of your WebdriverIO configuration.
