Also chaining is supported as well.
Before using it you need to create a WebDriver session.Type
Api
Examples
const { client } = require('nightwatch-api');
(async function() {
await client
.url('https://duckduckgo.com/')
.setValue('input[name="q"]', 'WebDriver')
.click('input[type="submit"]')
.assert.containsText('#links', 'WebDriver - w3.org');
)();
const { client } = require('nightwatch-api');
(async function() {
// This is much easier to debug, place console.logs, use if conditions and for loops
await client.url('https://duckduckgo.com/');
await client.setValue('input[name="q"]', 'WebDriver');
await client.click('input[type="submit"]');
await client.assert.containsText('#links', 'WebDriver - w3.org');
)();
const { client } = require('nightwatch-api');
const googleSearch = client.page.google();
(async function() {
await googleSearch.init();
await googleSearch.setValue('@searchField', 'WebDriver');
await googleSearch.click('@searchButton');
await googleSearch.assert.containsText('@searchResult', 'WebDriver - w3.org');
)();
startWebDriver(options)
Starts WebDriver server according to selected environment configuration.
You can use it to start chromedriver, geckodriver, selenium server and other WebDrivers.Parameters
options: object

Nightwatch configuration file location.
By default it's nightwatch.json
or nightwatch.conf.js
in current process working directory.env?: string
Selected Nightwatch environment.
By default it's default
.silent?: false | true
Disable Nightwatch success logs like "√ Element <body> was visible after 96 milliseconds."
By default it's false.
Examples
const { startWebDriver, stopWebDriver } = require('nightwatch-api');
beforeAll(async () => {
await startWebDriver({ env: 'firefox' });
});
afterAll(async () => {
await stopWebDriver();
});
const { startWebDriver, stopWebDriver } = require('nightwatch-api');
(async function() {
try {
await startWebDriver({ env: 'chrome' });
// create WebDriver client
// use WebDriver session
} catch (err) {
console.log(err.stack);
} finally {
// close WebDriver session
await stopWebDriver();
}
)();
stopWebDriver()
Stops the currently running WebDriver.createSession(options)
Creates a new WebDriver session.
You need to create a session to be able to communicate with the browser.Parameters
options: object
configFile?: string
Nightwatch configuration file location.
By default it's nightwatch.json
or nightwatch.conf.js
in current process working directory.env?: string
Selected Nightwatch environment.
By default it's the same used for previous startWebDriver call otherwise default
.silent?: false | true
Disable Nightwatch success logs like "√ Element <body> was visible after 96 milliseconds."
By default it's false.
Examples
const { createSession, closeSession } = require('nightwatch-api');
beforeAll(async () => {
await createSession({ env: 'firefox' });
});
afterAll(async () => {
await closeSession();
});
const { createSession, closeSession } = require('nightwatch-api');
(async function() {
try {
// create WebDriver session
await createSession({ env: 'chrome' });
// use WebDriver client
} catch (err) {
console.log(err.stack);
} finally {
await closeSession();
// close WebDriver session
}
)();
closeSession()
Closes the active WebDriver session.Section
This class enables creation of Nightwatch page object sections dynamically.Constructors
