browser.electron not found

[jgresham]

Sorry if I missed this in the docs. I followed them but I'm getting the error that electron is not found when running. Do I need to tell Typescript to ignore the warning somehow?

[jgresham]

Will open on electron repo

@jgresham you will have to make sure the types are loaded by adding wdio-electron-service to your "types" in the tsconfig.json. This is not related to Electron.

Thanks!

Although, I'm having a similar issue with importing 'wdio-electron-service/main' and 'wdio-electron-service/preload' conditionally. I've tried many combinations of the following without any success:

    "types": ["@wdio/globals/types", "wdio-electron-service", "wdio-electron-service/preload", "wdio-electron-service/main"],
    "typeRoots": ["./node_modules", "./node_modules/@types", "./@types"]

Do you have "moduleResolution": "node16", set in your tsconfig.json?

[christian-bromann]

Also, try to setup a new Electron+WebdriverIO project using npm init wdio@latest ./test and compare that setup with yours.

[jgresham]

Ok using "moduleResolution": "node16" and the latest and test was being excluded in tsconfig.
Thank you for the help and work on this project! I'm really excited to find Webdriver and this plugin. It is exactly what I needed for my app!

Awesome 🙌

Please Help me

I did above things and my ts error for browser.electron is solved, but I can not access further like electron.app electron.browserWindow

I followed this doc - https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/automated-testing

and I tried it's first test

import { browser, $, expect } from '@wdio/globals'

describe('when the make smaller button is clicked', () => {
  it('should decrease the window height and width by 10 pixels', async () => {
    const boundsBefore = await browser.electron.browserWindow('getBounds')
    expect(boundsBefore.width).toEqual(210)
    expect(boundsBefore.height).toEqual(310)

    await $('.make-smaller').click()
    const boundsAfter = await browser.electron.browserWindow('getBounds')
    expect(boundsAfter.width).toEqual(200)
    expect(boundsAfter.height).toEqual(300)
  })
})
