Configure nightwatch.json -- to point to selenium grid.

[jmervis99]

In nightwatch.json , I use to use

"test_settings" : {
"default" : {
"launch_url" : "http://localhost",
"selenium_port" : 4444,
"selenium_host" : "servername",

  "silent": true }}

Now in nightwatch 1.7.6 is says to use selenium.port, selenium.host instead of selenium_port, selenium_host. this doesn't seem to be working. If I put in the seleniumhost webadress it still uses localhost.

Any help would be appreciated.

Extra info. I went back to 1.6.4 and all works again. Maybe this is an issue or change in 1.7.6

This seems to be a logged issue.

hi @jmervis99 👋

I understand that you are facing an issue in configuring the Selenium host and port in Nightwatch. As you said selenium_host and selenium_port are deprecated. Instead please use the below settings

default: {
  launch_url: 'https://nightwatchjs.org',

  selenium: {
    start_process: false,
    port: <port>,
    host: '<server_name>'
  }
}

Let me know if you still facing issues, thanks

Thanks so much!! That really helped.

The only other piece is that I needed to be able to change it based on environments (sometimes selenium grid, sometimes local) but I figure it out.

"jenkinsenv": {
"selenium": {

    "port": 4444,
    "host": "jenkins server"
  }

I didn't know if you could override the selenium settings in the environment settings but you can.
