This releases adds a few important fixes and improvements. We have made sure that Nightwatch works very well when using the Selenium 4 server in standalone mode and we've added several improvements and fixes for when using Mocha as a test runner.

npm i @nightwatch/selenium-server

v2.0.0

The public NPM release of Nightwatch 2.0 is here and can be installed directly with:

npm i nightwatch --save-dev

Over the past few weeks we have worked tirelessly to finalise the apis, add a few more examples, and try and smooth over any rough edges.

Important Changes

• Added a new plugin API; check out the docs for how to create a Nightwatch plugin: nightwatchjs.org/guide/extending-nightwatch/plugin-api.html
• Added support for using nightwatch.conf.cjs as config file for projects that use ES Modules
• Upgraded chai expect to version 5 and added support for using regular chai browser.expect() assertions; this doesn't affect the existing expect.element(), expect.elements(), expect.cookie(), expect.title(), and expect.url().
  • Example:

  const infoElement = element('.info');
  expect(infoElement.property('innerHTML'))
    .to.be.a('string')
    .and.to.include('validation code');

  See examples/tests/shadowRootExample.js for the complete example.
