Rewrite Discussion

I thought I’d put an issue up to discuss my rewrite of Spectron, seeing as forks aren’t allowed their own issues, etc.

Is a rewrite necessary given that Playwright seems to be working well? Possibly not, but I started so I’ll finish. Can’t hurt to have another option, and this approach gives us all the benefits that come with close WDIO integration.

I think the WDIO-first approach works well, though would like to get back to a place where Chromedriver restarts between tests as I don’t think the test state bleed within spec files is expected or desirable. The idea with this is to create a wdio-spectron-service that is a worker service and can better manage the CD process.

It’s still very much a work in progress but I spent a lot of time documenting things, constructive comments welcome.

Would be great, looking forward to it… keep up the great work 😃

I’ll close this issue now, added a deprecation notice to my Spectron fork, would appreciate if people could try out the new service and file bugs / feature requests where necessary. Cheers.
