Doesn't work with wdio launcher

[sns45]

I have set up the latest version of selenium-standalone with the latest selenium, chrome, and chromedriver. When I run the tests manually using wdio ./wdio.conf.js it runs perfectly BUT it does NOT run through webdriverio launcher. (Tests do no capture the network request params) Here's how I am using webdriverio launcher:

gulp.task('default', function(done) {
    var wdio = new Launcher(path.join(__dirname, 'wdio.conf.js'), conf.config);
    return wdio.run().then(function(code) {
        console.log(code);
    }, function(error) {
        console.error('Launcher failed to start the test', error.stacktrace);
        selenium.child.kill();
        process.exit(1);
    });
});

I don't know if this is related to wdio launcher, but it's just not running tests which are written using this service tool.

Are you running your tests in Chrome v63 or higher?

[sns45]

@christian-bromann Yes. I even tried setting the selenium standalone at local. Its working fine when I manually run the tests using wdio ./wdio.conf.js on chrome v63. But it doesn't run through the webdriverio launcher on the same version of chrome on same machine.

Please see it yourself by cloning my repo(Its hardly 20 lines of code and I have updated it with detailed instructions in README).

Doesn't work for me as well. Facing same issue. Not working with wdio launcher.

Using webdriverio launcher seems opening two windows at a time which is obstructing to capture the network data. Tried with new Launcher(path.join(__dirname, 'wdio.conf.js')); which opens one browser window and able to capture the network data.
