v5.0.0 Changes
December 20, 2018
This version comes with a variety of technical changes that might affect the functionality of 3rd party WebdriverIO packages from the community. If such a package causes problems after the update, please raise an issue in the repository of that package and not in this repository. You can find a list of officially maintained packages here.

:boom: Breaking Change
- 📦 moved wdio cli command from webdriverio package to @wdio/cli
- 💻 commands are scoped to browser and element - no selector property on commands anymore js // v4 browser.click('#myElem') js // v5 and upwards const elem = $('#myElem') elem.click()
- no command chaining anymore (in standalone and wdio mode) js // v4 (standalone/async mode) browser .url('https://duckduckgo.com/') .setValue('#search_form_input_homepage', 'WebdriverIO') // ... js // v5 (standalone/async mode) await browser.url('https://duckduckgo.com/') const elem = await browser.$('#search_form_input_homepage') await elem.click() await elem.setValue('WebdriverIO')
- every protocol command returns a value property instead of raw driver response js // v4 const result = browser.execute(() => 1 + 1) console.log(result) // outputs: // { sessionId: '02aee149a1a421b81598ff2a3b90e33d', // value: 2, // _status: 0 } js // v5 const result = browser.execute(() => 1 + 1) console.log(result) // outputs: 2
- the remote and multiremote methods to initiate a driver instance now also start the driver session and therefore return a promise (no init command anymore) js // v4 import { remote } from 'webdriverio' const driver = remote({ ... }) driver.init().url('https://webdriver.io').end() js // v5 import { remote } from 'webdriverio' const driver = await remote({ ... }) await driver.url('https://webdriver.io') await driver.deleteSession()
- command changes: over the years WebdriverIO added more and more commands for different automation protocols without applying a pattern to it which resulted in having a bunch of duplication and inconsistent naming, even though the list looks exhausting, most of the commands that have changed were used internally
  - renamed commands:
    
    isVisible → isDisplayed
    
    isVisibleWithinViewport → isDisplayedInViewport
    
    waitForVisible → waitForDisplayed

    with no replacements: init, buttonPress, file, chooseFile, uploadFile, endAll, getCommandHistory, waitForSelected, waitForText, waitForValue, getGridNodeDetails, gridProxyDetails, gridTestSession, hold
  - new commands:
    
    WebDriver / JsonWireProtocol: minimizeWindow
    
    Appium: startRecordingScreen, stopRecordingScreen, isKeyboardShown, getSystemBars, getDisplayDensity, endCoverage, replaceValue, receiveAsyncResponse, gsmCall, gsmSignal, gsmVoice, sendSms, fingerPrint
- ➕ adding custom commands are scoped to the prototype they are being added to
```
// v4
browser.addCommand('myCommand', () => { ... })
const elem = $('myElem')
console.log(typeof browser.myCommand) // outputs "function"
console.log(typeof elem.myCommand) // outputs "function"
```
```
// v5
browser.addCommand('myCommand', () => { ... })
const elem = $('myElem')
console.log(typeof browser.myCommand) // outputs "function"
console.log(typeof elem.myCommand) // outputs "undefined"
elem.addCommand('myElemCommand', () => { ... })
console.log(typeof elem.myElemCommand) // outputs "function"
const elem2 = $('myOtherElem')
console.log(typeof elem2.myElemCommand) // outputs "undefined"
```
- spec and suite cli arguments are now passed as an array, e.g.
```
// v4
./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js --spec ./tests/foobar.js,./tests/baz.js
```
./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js --suite FooBar,BarBaz

./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js --suite FooBar
```
  ```js
  // v5
  ./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js --spec ./tests/foobar.js ./tests/baz.js

  ./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js --suite FooBar BarBaz

  ./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js --suite FooBar
```
- 🔧 custom configuration for services or reporters are now directly applied to the config list, e.g. js // ... reporters: [ 'spec', [ 'junit', { outputDir: __dirname + '/junit_logs' } ] ], // ...
:eyeglasses: Spec Compliancy
- implemented parameter assertions for protocol commands
- full W3C WebDriver compliancy
- full Appium and Mobile JSONWire Protocol compliancy
- 🚧 simplified protocol command maintenance by defining commands, their parameters and response values within simple json constructs

- ⚡️ update to Babel v7 (latest) as well as various of other dependency updates with security fixes
- CPU and Memory improvements by reducing amount of IPC calls
💅 :nail_care: Polish
- 👍 laid out better governance model for project
