Whilst running WDIO tests on the command line (using Spec reporter), on one test run, I managed to make it report a '?" in the command line output. Something like this:
[Chrome 100.0.4896.60 darwin #0-0] ✖ test1
[Chrome 100.0.4896.60 darwin #0-0] ? test2
I don't remember how many tests passed or how many failed - just that there was at least one question mark in the column where I usually find ticks or crosses.
I saw that the test had no tests in it - immediately thought that was the secret, but I restructured the code, and was never able to reproduce the output since.
Does anyone know how to make a WDIO test result in a question mark?
I thought it might have been caused by a time out - but I forced a time out (using this example ), and saw that it results in an 'x' - and not a '?'
The answer is to use one of the 'skip' functionalities: eg this.skip()
