Nightwatch v1.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-09-04 // over 3 years ago

  • 🐎 This version significantly improves the network stability and performance of the test runner, by improving the underlying http retry mechanism and error detection and reporting of API commands – a particularly important update for when using cloud testing services.

    ➕ Additionally, we have added better support for writing advanced custom commands to make it easier to extend Nightwatch, and improved support for using Nightwatch programmatically. See writing custom commands docs page.

    ⚡️ The Developer Guide docs also have been updated.
