the command itself is syntactically correct (browser.goTo({ sHash: '#Shell-home' })) might be a problem with your configuration. can you share your wdio.config.(j|t)s-file please? "baseUrl" and the "wdi5" should be sufficient.

[nair-sumesh]

  wdi5: {
    screenshotPath: path.join('wdio-ui5-service', 'test', 'report', 'screenshots'),
    logLevel: 'verbose', // error | verbose | silent
    platform: 'browser', // electron, browser, android, ios
    url: '',
    skipInjectUI5OnStart: true,
    deviceType: 'web',
    waitForUI5Timeout: 15000
  },

...
baseUrl :''

Later in the before() method, I call await browser.url(sURL); where sURL is dynamically generated.

oi, the empty baseUrl is most likely the culprit. Try providing that, please
