As announced in the blogpost https://blogs.sap.com/2022/02/12/the-king-is-dead-long-live-the-king-wdi5-as-uiveri5-successor/ and tracked via the roadmap https://github.com/orgs/js-soft/projects/1, we're rewriting
wdi5
in TypeScript and at the same time, drop support for hybrid app testing.Here's how that's going to go:
wdi5-legacy
, preserving all of the hard work put into the appium layer 👣wdi5
repo will then be updated with the TypeScript codebase, containing the WebdriverIO pluginwdio-ui5-service
After the above, we'll start publishing alpha(s) and beta(s) of
wdi5
version0.9.0
.You might ask: as it's "only" browser-based henceforward, why not rename
wdi5
to its' technical namewdio-ui5-service
?Well, for one,
wdi5
(/vdif5/, with a sound /v/ as in "vinyl") is way easier to pronounce than "double-u-d-ei-o-u-ei-five-service".Plus we're not going to start adopting that frequent acronym change we are accustomed to by that three-letter named company we're pretty fond of 🤣
