Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

services: ['webpack']

✓ services: ['webpack'] // in wdio.conf.js

✗ import { WebpackService } from 'wdio-webpack-service'

This is a WebdriverIO service, not a module import. Configure via the services array in wdio.conf.js.

webpackConfig

✓ // In wdio.conf.js: services: [['webpack', { webpackConfig: { /* ... */ } }]]

✗ new WebpackService({ webpackConfig: {...} })

Pass options as an array element in the services list, not via constructor.

webpackDriverConfig

✓ services: [['webpack', { webpackDriverConfig: { output: { path: './dist' } } }]]

✗ services: ['webpack'], webpackDriverConfig: {...}

Options must be within the service's array configuration, not at the config root.

Shows how to configure the webpack service in wdio.conf.js, specifying webpack config, driver overrides, and logging.

// wdio.conf.js const path = require('path'); exports.config = { // ... services: [ ['webpack', { webpackConfig: { entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/index.js'), output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'), filename: 'bundle.js' }, resolve: { extensions: ['.js'] } }, webpackDriverConfig: { output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'test/assets') } }, webpackLog: true }] ], // ... };
