Details

• CodeceptJS version: codeceptjs@0.6.3-pre
• NodeJS Version: v7.10.0
• Operating System: OSX 10.11.6
• WebDriverIO: 4.8.0 (installed gobally)
• Configuration file:

{
  "tests": "./e2e/*.spec.js",
  "timeout": 10000,
  "output": "./e2e/output",
  "helpers": {
    "WebDriverIO": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000",
      "browser": "chrome"
    }
  },
  "include": {},
  "bootstrap": false,
  "mocha": {},
  "name": "zivver-webapp"
}

1. getting codecept up and running seems to fail due to an ECONNREFUSED
2. codecept is lying, it didn't save any screenshots at all

it seems to me that Selenium or webdriverIO doesn't work, but I read nowhere anything about first having to download and setup Selenium / webdriverIO first...

Okay, what I thought: it was indeed related to Selenium not running. I don't get why there isn't a simple mention in the readme that one still has to download and run selenium standalone server. some npm packages don't require you to, so this is not a given. Hope this helps anyone:
