  • v1.5.1 Changes

    October 29, 2020
    • 🛠 Fixed #2529 - false warnings about settings being defined in globals

  • v1.5.0 Changes

    October 20, 2020

    Nightwatch v1.5 introduces support for using third-party automation libraries directly into Nightwatch tests, thus providing significantly more flexibility in writing custom commands/assertions and also the test itself. This functionality also aims to eliminate some of the burden in choosing between various frameworks, by providing the possibility to combine the functionality offered by other libraries, such as selenium-webdriver or WebdriverIO, with Nightwatch.

    • 🛠 Fixed #2245 - test_settings is undefined in global before hook
    • ➕ Added --parallel cli flag for easier running of tests with test workers – 5cfc278

  • v1.4.0 Changes

    September 04, 2020

    🐎 This version significantly improves the network stability and performance of the test runner, by improving the underlying http retry mechanism and error detection and reporting of API commands – a particularly important update for when using cloud testing services.

    ➕ Additionally, we have added better support for writing advanced custom commands to make it easier to extend Nightwatch, and improved support for using Nightwatch programmatically. See writing custom commands docs page.

    ⚡️ The Developer Guide docs also have been updated.

    Added new setting test_workers.node_options to enable passing node options to individual test worker processes.
