Configuration

Configure the output directory in your wdio.conf.js file:

exports.config = {
    // ...
    services: [
      [
        'TestRecorder', {
            attachVideoToCucumberReport: true
        }
      ]
    ]
  // ...
}

Options to override default capabilities...

• videoOutputPath - Output folder path to store video reports.
• attachVideoToCucumberReport - Attach the recorded video to cucumber reports.
• removeAttachedVideos - Delete the saved video from temp file once attacted to cucumber reports.
• jsonWireActions - Array of string for which screenshots needs to be captured in afterCommad hooks.

• removeAttachedVideos - false

• jsonWireActions -
