How to change selenium-standalone port number via webdriverio wdio file?

rated 0 times [ 95] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 5296 / 5 Years ago, wed, july 24, 2019, 12:00:00

I need to change the port number of which selenium standalone server is using by default (4444). Port 4444 is currently in use, is there a way to alter the port number via the wdio file?

// Test runner services

// Services take over a specific job you don't want to take care of. They enhance

// your test setup with almost no effort. Unlike plugins, they don't add new

// commands. Instead, they hook themselves up into the test process.

services: ['selenium-standalone'],

Currently I'm starting selenium server via the following command:

./node_modules/.bin/selenium-standalone start

I have also attempting to use the following with no luck:

./node_modules/.bin/selenium-standalone start -port 7777

Running the above command still attempt to run selenium sever on port 4444.

To run the selenium-standalone on the specific port you should use the following syntax:

./node_modules/.bin/selenium-standalone start -- -port 7777

Change the port in the wdi.conf.js:

seleniumArgs: {

  seleniumArgs: [-port, 7777],

},

Also, read more about the wdio configuration file here and about wdio-cli here

So, your final wdio.conf.js should look like:

exports.config = {

  /**

  * server configurations

  */

  services: ['selenium-standalone'],

  port: 7777,

  seleniumArgs: {

    seleniumArgs: [-port, 7777],

  },

}
