|  | 3 | +title: WebdriverIO Testing Library | 
|  | 4 | +--- | 
|  | 5 | + | 
|  | 6 | +[`webdriverio-testing-library`][gh] allows the use of dom-testing-library | 
|  | 7 | +queries in [WebdriverIO](https://webdriver.io/) for end-to-end web testing. | 
|  | 8 | + | 
|  | 9 | +## Install | 
|  | 10 | + | 
|  | 11 | +> Be sure to follow the | 
|  | 12 | +> [WebdriverIO install & config instructions first](https://webdriver.io/docs/gettingstarted/) | 
|  | 13 | +
 | 
|  | 14 | +then just | 
|  | 15 | + | 
|  | 16 | +``` | 
|  | 17 | +npm install -D @testing-library/webdriverio | 
|  | 18 | +``` | 
|  | 19 | + |

|  | 21 | + | 
|  | 22 | +## API | 
|  | 23 | + | 
|  | 24 | +### `setupBrowser` | 
|  | 25 | + | 
|  | 26 | +Accepts a WebdriverIO [browser object](https://webdriver.io/docs/browserobject) | 
|  | 27 | +and returns dom-testing-library [queries](/docs/queries/about) modifed to return | 
|  | 28 | +WebdriverIO elements like normal | 
|  | 29 | +[selectors](https://webdriver.io/docs/selectors/). **All queries are async** and | 
|  | 30 | +are bound to `document.body` by default. | 
|  | 31 | + | 
|  | 32 | +```javascript | 
|  | 33 | +import { setupBrowser } from '@testing-library/webdriverio' | 
|  | 34 | + | 
|  | 35 | +it('can click button', async () => { | 
|  | 36 | + const { getByText } = setupBrowser(browser) | 
|  | 37 | + | 
|  | 38 | + const button = await getByText('Button Text') | 
|  | 39 | + await button.click() | 
|  | 40 | + | 
|  | 41 | + expect(await button.getText()).toEqual('Button Clicked') | 
|  | 42 | +}) | 
|  | 43 | +``` | 
|  | 44 | + | 
|  | 45 | +`setupBrowser` also adds queries as commands to the browser and to all | 
|  | 46 | +WebdriverIO elements. The browser commands are scoped to `document.body`. The | 
|  | 47 | +element commands are scoped to the element in the same way as if it was passed | 
|  | 48 | +to [`within`](#within). | 
|  | 49 | + | 
|  | 50 | +```javascript | 
|  | 51 | +it('adds queries as browser commands', async () => { | 
|  | 52 | + setupBrowser(browser) | 
|  | 53 | + | 
|  | 54 | + expect(await browser.getByText('Page Heading')).toBeDefined() | 
|  | 55 | +}) | 
|  | 56 | + | 
|  | 57 | +it('adds queries as element commands scoped to element', async () => { | 
|  | 58 | + setupBrowser(browser) | 
|  | 59 | + | 
|  | 60 | + const nested = await browser.$('*[data-testid="nested"]') | 
|  | 61 | + const button = await nested.getByText('Button Text') | 
|  | 62 | + await button.click() | 
|  | 63 | + | 
|  | 64 | + expect(await button.getText()).toEqual('Button Clicked') | 
|  | 65 | +}) | 
|  | 66 | +``` | 
|  | 67 | + | 
|  | 68 | +When using [sync mode](https://webdriver.io/docs/sync-vs-async#sync-mode) these | 
|  | 69 | +commands are also synchronous: | 
|  | 70 | + | 
|  | 71 | +```javascript | 
|  | 72 | +it('adds queries as browser commands', async () => { | 
|  | 73 | + setupBrowser(browser) | 
|  | 74 | + | 
|  | 75 | + expect(browser.getByText('Page Heading')).toBeDefined() | 
|  | 76 | +}) | 
|  | 77 | + | 
|  | 78 | +it('adds queries as element commands scoped to element', async () => { | 
|  | 79 | + setupBrowser(browser) | 
|  | 80 | + | 
|  | 81 | + const nested = browser.$('*[data-testid="nested"]') | 
|  | 82 | + const button = nested.getByText('Button Text') | 
|  | 83 | + button.click() | 
|  | 84 | + | 
|  | 85 | + expect(button.getText()).toEqual('Button Clicked') | 
|  | 86 | +}) | 
|  | 87 | +``` | 
|  | 88 | + | 
|  | 89 | +### `within` | 
|  | 90 | + | 
|  | 91 | +Accepts a WebdriverIO element and returns queries scoped to that element | 
|  | 92 | + | 
|  | 93 | +```javascript | 
|  | 94 | +import { within } from '@testing-library/webdriverio' | 
|  | 95 | + | 
|  | 96 | +it('within scopes queries to element', async () => { | 
|  | 97 | + const nested = await browser.$('*[data-testid="nested"]') | 
|  | 98 | + | 
|  | 99 | + const button = await within(nested).getByText('Button Text') | 
|  | 100 | + await button.click() | 
|  | 101 | + | 
|  | 102 | + expect(await button.getText()).toEqual('Button Clicked') | 
|  | 103 | +}) | 
|  | 104 | +``` | 
|  | 105 | + | 
|  | 106 | +### `configure` | 
|  | 107 | + | 
|  | 108 | +Lets you [configure dom-testing-library][config] | 
|  | 109 | + | 
|  | 110 | +```javascript | 
|  | 111 | +import { configure } from '@testing-library/webdriverio' | 
|  | 112 | + | 
|  | 113 | +beforeEach(() => { | 
|  | 114 | + configure({ testIdAttribute: 'data-automation-id' }) | 
|  | 115 | +}) | 
|  | 116 | +afterEach(() => { | 
|  | 117 | + configure(null) | 
|  | 118 | +}) | 
|  | 119 | + | 
|  | 120 | +it('lets you configure queries', async () => { | 
|  | 121 | + const { getByTestId } = setupBrowser(browser) | 
|  | 122 | + | 
|  | 123 | + expect(await getByTestId('testid-in-data-automation-id-attr')).toBeDefined() | 
|  | 124 | +}) | 
|  | 125 | +``` | 
|  | 126 | + | 
|  | 127 | +## Typescript | 
|  | 128 | + | 
|  | 129 | +This library comes with full typescript definitions. To use the commands added | 
|  | 130 | +by [`setupBrowser`](#setupbrowser) the `Browser` and `Element` interfaces in the | 
|  | 131 | +global `WebdriverIO` namespace need to be extended. Add the following to a | 
|  | 132 | +typescript module: | 
|  | 133 | + | 
|  | 134 | +```typescript | 
|  | 135 | +import { WebdriverIOQueries } from '@testing-library/webdriverio' | 
|  | 136 | + | 
|  | 137 | +declare global { | 
|  | 138 | + namespace WebdriverIO { | 
|  | 139 | + interface Browser extends WebdriverIOQueries {} | 
|  | 140 | + interface Element extends WebdriverIOQueries {} | 
|  | 141 | + } | 
|  | 142 | +} | 
|  | 143 | +``` | 
|  | 144 | + | 
|  | 145 | +If you are using the `@wdio/sync` package you will need to use the | 
|  | 146 | +`WebdriverIOQueriesSync` type to extend the interfaces: | 
|  | 147 | + | 
|  | 148 | +```typescript | 
|  | 149 | +import { WebdriverIOQueriesSync } from '@testing-library/webdriverio' | 
|  | 150 | + | 
|  | 151 | +declare global { | 
|  | 152 | + namespace WebdriverIO { | 
|  | 153 | + interface Browser extends WebdriverIOQueriesSync {} | 
|  | 154 | + interface Element extends WebdriverIOQueriesSync {} | 
|  | 155 | + } | 
|  | 156 | +} | 
|  | 157 | +``` | 
|  | 158 | + | 
|  | 159 | +Additional information about using typescript with WebdriverIO can be found | 
|  | 160 | +[here](https://webdriver.io/docs/typescript/) |
