Unable to get this running

[GGuru]

Hello @cognitom,

I am trying to switch my services in wdio config from selenium-standalone to phantomjs. I did changes as mentioned but my tests are not running. not even browser.url() works

Test run ends immediately with the error below. log file output is pasted after this.

0 passing (1.10s)
1 failing

1) Form header title tests "before all" hook:
Form page main region is visible: expected {} to equal true
running
AssertionError: Form page main region is visible: expected {} to equal true

Hello @GGuru,

Have you checked this repo already? It could be a good starting point, I think. https://github.com/cognitom/webdriverio-examples/tree/master/wdio-wo-local-selenium

[GGuru]

I didn't look into that as it requires a cloud service testing account. Is it required to use wdio-phantomjs-service?

[cognitom]

Nope, you don't have to use cloud services. It's optional. Now I've added a simpler example. Check it out, too 😉 https://github.com/cognitom/webdriverio-examples/tree/master/wdio-phantomjs-only

Thanks @cognitom - It works! I I am able to use the phantomjs successfully. I was using wdio-selenium-standalone for phantom too which spins up selenium server every time. This is much improvement for my test suite.
