Install

npm i If running tests vis Selenium: 1) Default option.

Download selenium standalone server - https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/
Download webdrivers for your version of browsers: chrome (https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads), firefox(https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases), opera(https://github.com/operasoftware/operachromiumdriver/releases), Microsoft Edge (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/). Safari webdriver is already included in MacOSX. It is required ro run once safaridriver --enable. Also in Safari browser check thet Choose Develop - Allow Remote Automation option is selected. Before starting tests it is required to start selenium server. For example: java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar if using chrome java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=geckodriver -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar for firefox, etc. This option is highly configurable (for example, it is possible to run tests on different versions of the same browser (chrome 81, chrome 80, etc.), but requires webdriver's magagement as every major version of browser requires appropriate version of webdriver.

2) Custom option, using codeceptjs plugin. In the configuration file, inside plugin section there is a plugin enabled - wdio. To use it just add option --plugins wdio to the running command. Problem noticed: option windowSize: "maximize"for chrome doesn't work, could be windowSize: '1920x1680'used instead.

Configuration

The main configuration file - codecept.conf.js Inside helpers section it is possible to switch between diffent runners: Webdriver, Testcafe, Playwright etc. Note, that only one runner should be used, others should be commented. Currently tested on Chrome and Firefox on following runners

Selenium Webdriver
Testcafe (works but before the tests mute button should be clicked, also problems with drag and drop)
Playwright (video doesn't start on chrome, but works in firefox)
