[Question] How to get browser session ID?

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to migrate a python WebDriver test to a Codeceptjs test. When the test finishes, it posts a link to the suacelabs session like this:

def tearDown(self):
    if is_travis():
        print("Link to your job: https://saucelabs.com/jobs/%s" % self.driver.session_id)
        try:
            if sys.exc_info() == (None, None, None):
                sauce.jobs.update_job(self.driver.session_id, passed=True)
            else:
                sauce.jobs.update_job(self.driver.session_id, passed=False)
        finally:
            self.driver.quit()
    else:
self.driver.close()

Is there an equivalent to self.driver.session_id I can use to get the sessionID in codeceptjs?

Details

• CodeceptJS version: v0.4.13
• NodeJS Version: 6.9.2
• WebDriverIO

Oh, looks like it returns a promise, not an array as I expected.

_after() {
  return this.helpers['WebDriverIO'].browser.sessions().then((sessions) => {
    // do everything you need
  });
}

I think you need a custom helper

Run:

codeceptjs gh

to create SauceLabs helper

Then your helper should look like:

class SauceLab extends Helper {

  // after corresponds to teardown in your code
  _after() {
     var sessions = this.helpers['WebDriverIO'].browser.sessions(); 
     var session_id = sessions[0].id;
     // do your stuff
  }
}

Please see webdriverio session reference for session id, as I can be wrong in this part.

It is important to make your helper to be declared before WebDriverIO in codecept.json so this.browser to be available inside _after.
