What is WebDriverIO || Protractor vs WebDriverIo vs NightWatchJS - Part -1

#webdriverio #nodejs #javascript #automation
In this video, I have explained - what is WebDriverIO? and other JS based automation tools like: Protractor, NigthwatchJS.
What is WebdriverIO?
WebdriverIO is a custom implementation for selenium's W3C webdriver API. It is written in Javascript and packaged into 'npm' and runs on Node.js.
Main Features of WebdriverIO:
WebdriverIO is a good automation tool which can automate both web applications and native mobile Apps.
It has simple and easy to write Syntax.
It has integrated test runner which helps us to write asynchronous commands in a synchronous way so that we don’t need to care about how to handle a Promise to avoid racing conditions.
It has 'wdio setup wizard' which makes our project setup very easy.
We can write our own javascript functions test.
The test runner also comes with a variety of hooks that allow us to interfere into the test process in order to e.g. take screenshots if an error occurs or modify the test procedure according to a previous test result.
WebdriverIO services will be helpful to integrate our test to third party tools like 'Appium'.

Rather than creating different tools as wrapper on Webdriver, community should unite and try include all the features like mobile support , api testing , in build report etc inside Selenium 4 itself. That would have make every one's life easier and secure the career too.

[@akrworld6716]

Hi Naveen, Can you upload some tutorials on typescript with WebDriverIO using Cucumber framework ?

[@alishkumarmanvar7163]

@Naveen, can you please us know or share reason how come you have suddenly jumped into WEBDRIVERIO from Protractor (after covering only 4 sessions), as we can see Protractor series have been started earlier than WEBDRIVERIO and you have covered more number of session for WEBDRIVERIO

[@nehagoyal1283]

Hi Naveen,
Can you please attach the javascript playlist link which needs to refer before watching WDIO playlist..as I don't know which should refer?

[@venkatjakkepalli4833]

[@sanketnegi1]

[@ganeshkulkarni6495]

Hi Naveen, any new video on Taiko?

[@gurushankarsandiri]

any leads for integrating webdriverio with browserstack

[@darshanbhosale1464]

@Naveen How can we automate API testing using webdriver IO?

[@naveenautomationlabs]

You can't automate API with WDIO.

[@niteshsigaram6229]

Hi naveen
Please create videos on protractor
Thanks
Nitesh

[@himanshubhushan2331]

Please make a video on cypress

[@ankitshrivastava9061]

Hello Naveen can we automate React application by WebDriverIO?

[@ranadheerrana7569]

yes

[@festuschibuzor7405]

hello naveen i love this course but i learnt that sync mode is no longer supported for webdriverio i've being trying to interact with elements using async code but i keep getting an error saying ' can't perform getText because element with selector cannot be found ' please how do i solve this issue?.

[@abdulwahidsabeel4335]

You have to use async await. Functions should be defined as async functions so that you can use await keyword which ensures promise is resolved.

[@muthufazer]

Guys any one pls tell me whether node js will run in Internet explorer

[@ShivamGupta-if6qw]

can we integrate Webdriverio with a model-based testing tool like Graphwalker?

[@viralpujara6274]

I'm having the same question... If anyone can answer

[@manika654]

Hi naveen , for angular application which is better Playwright or webdriverio ???

[@reshmajadhav5921]

Hey I have the same question, which framework is good for angular applications. Please reply if you know

[@naveenautomationlabs]

All are good, you can use selenium, Cypress, playwright, webdriver io.

[@divyabajaj412]

Please add tutorials on Nightwatch

[@mustafaninyolu]

Protractor is still the best choice for the angular apps then. Additionally using Allure reports is also possible with Protractor.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Not anymore. Would prefer WebdrieveIO and TestCafe as compared to Protractor

[@mustafaninyolu]

@@naveenautomationlabs Thanks for feedback Naveen. But on comparison table in the video, it says "Angular is partially supported". If webdriver.io partially supports angular how it can be better than its opponent that provides full support? Maybe because of live-community and better updates on webdriver.IO? For the last a few weeks I am working on a protractor-cucumber framework, if the webdriver.io is better I will give it a chance. On the other hand, I have no idea about TestCafe, it is like a distant- cold hearted relative for me.

[@Ashokkumarg8]

@@mustafaninyolu Shadow DOM in-built support is provided in WebDriverIO and that is one of the major advantage

[@reachmsm1]

HI naveen , very Good series and its very helpful . However Iam curious to know if there is a Typescript series with wdio ?

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Not yet

[@supriyamishra5968]

Because of this we will get exposure to JS

[@nalinay8151]

Hi naveen
Is there any dependency of webdriverio for angular application

[@reshmajadhav5921]

If you have got the answer please tell me as well

[@kumarhi9564]

Hi Naveen
Regularly i will watch ur videos,please try to upload the videos in a order.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

It's already in order. Please follow the playlist of WebdrieveIO.

[@androidsingh1049]

Maybe a better mic is required, unless we plug in headphone we can't hear voice clearly

[@sal5966]

Naveen I believe you need to improve your sounding system. Coz it sounds like you are speaking from distance. May be separate microphone could be helpful. I am having hard time to concentrate and understand. Will appreciate any improvement. Thanks in advance

[@TheJoker-qb5ue]

I don't think this would be a problem if you use headphones 😒

[@arunkumarcherukuru2213]

Please start nightwatch.js.

[@AnonymousAccount514]

Telegram is telling me your link is expired

[@sohailshaik7185]

Is webdriverIO built on top of webdriver..?? Please confirm..??

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Yes

[@himanshusethi1]
