Installation

If you want to start writing tests as fast as possible, here are the commands you'll need to execute:

npm init --yes
npm install webdriverio-cucumber-steps @wdio/cli @wdio/cucumber-framework @wdio/local-runner @wdio/selenium-standalone-service @wdio/spec-reporter chromedriver wdio-chromedriver-service --save-dev
node node_modules/webdriverio-cucumber-steps/utils/prepare.js

Then just see the list of predefined steps and start writing tests (in tests/*.feature) and adding Page Objects (in tests/page-objects/*.js).

Run the tests with:

node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/wdio.conf.js

Importing steps and running tests

To get access to all Cucumber steps defined in this package just add the path to this package in wdio.conf.js configuration file inside cucumberOpts in require (pathes to all external and internal step definitions should be specified inside the array in require):

const path = require('path');

exports.config = {
    // ...
    specs: [
        path.join(__dirname, '**', '*.feature')
    ],
    // ...
    //
    // Make sure you have the wdio adapter package for the specific framework installed
    // before running any tests.
    framework: 'cucumber',
    // ...
    //
    // If you are using Cucumber you need to specify the location of your step definitions.
    cucumberOpts: {
        // ...
        require: [
            path.join(__dirname, '..', 'node_modules', 'webdriverio-cucumber-steps', 'index.js'),
            // './src/steps/given.js',
            // './src/steps/then.js',
            // './src/steps/when.js',
            // Or search a (sub)folder for JS files with a wildcard
            // works since version 1.1 of the wdio-cucumber-framework
            // './src/**/*.js',
        ],
        // ...

and then launch tests with:

node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/wdio.conf.js

If you store your Page Objects not in tests/page-objects folder, then PO_FOLDER_PATH environment variable has to be specified to show the path to your Page Objects folder when running tests:

PO_FOLDER_PATH='tests/my-custom-page-objects' node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/wdio.conf.js

You can specify multiple Page Object folders by separating them with commas: PO_FOLDER_PATH='main/my-custom1,login/my-custom2,auth,create/my-custom3'

Also you can just add test:e2e command to scripts in package.json:

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "test:e2e": "PO_FOLDER_PATH='tests/my-custom-page-objects' node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/wdio.conf.js",
    // ...

and then launch tests with:

npm run test:e2e
