How to use safari technology preview in webdriver io tests (using wdio test runner)?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I tried running my tests on safari technology preview release 43 (Safari 11.1, WebKit 12605.1.12) using the below desired capabilities in wdio.conf.js.

capabilities: [{
    browserName: 'safari',
    'safari.options': {
        technologyPreview: true
    }
}]

Every time I run the tests, regular version of browser gets opened. Anybody facing similar issue?

Please find the logs below
