Project Structure Image

Team, getting the below error in my WebdriverIO-Typescript-Bdd framework :

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:387:5) at URL.onParseError (node:internal/url:565:9) at new URL (node:internal/url:641:5) at new URL (node:internal/url:638:22) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

Any insights on this ?

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]:

Invalid URL at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:387:5) at URL.onParseError (node:internal/url:565:9) at new URL (node:internal/url:641:5) at new URL (node:internal/url:638:22) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

You should change the value of the baseUrl to a directory path in tsconfig like below and better to use the url in your test file.

"baseUrl": "./my-project",
