Details

• CodeceptJS version: 2.0.4
• NodeJS Version: 9
• Operating System: MacOS
• Protractor || WebDriverIO || Nightmare version (if related)
• Configuration file:

exports.config = {

  helpers: {
    WebDriver: {
      url: "http://localhost",
      user: "key",

You did not set browser field in helpers.WebDriver, see error description.

helpers: {
    WebDriver: {
      url: "http://localhost",
      user: "key",
      key: "3f110cac-0e71-4a81-ad84-df6064481863",
      browser: "chrome"
      desiredCapabilities: {
      }
    }
  },

And try remote test launch with Codeceptjs 2.0.6
One bug was recently fixed #1506

thanks !
