WDI5 Installation Procedure Fails

[marco-paciucci]

Hello everyone,

as per the official documentation I've run the command:

npm init wdi5 and it copies wdio.conf.js into place, installs wdio+wdi5and adds them as dev dependencies.

However there's a subsequent step which fails:

adding wdi5 start command ("wdi5") to package.json... with this output:

Usage: npm <command>

I have tried many times to no avail.

Can anybody help?

please make sure you're using a LTS version of node along with at least npm >= 7

Node v14.17.4, npm { 'openui5-sample-app': '0.2.0', npm: '6.14.14', ares: '1.17.1', brotli: '1.0.9', cldr: '39.0', icu: '69.1', llhttp: '2.1.3', modules: '83', napi: '8', nghttp2: '1.42.0', node: '14.17.4', openssl: '1.1.1k', tz: '2021a', unicode: '13.0', uv: '1.41.0', v8: '8.4.371.23-node.76', zlib: '1.2.11' }

I will update npm and update accordingly. Thanks for now

That's now better however there's still an issue. There's no such npm run test:ui5tooling I've created a test folder into openui5-sample-app which contains wdio.conf.ts and tsconfig.json along with another subfolder specs containing sample.spec.ts When I run wdio wdio.conf.js I get 'wdio' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

How can I move along?

I will open up a new issue then. That one can be considered closed
