✔️ native BDD describe interface
✔️ new "assert.not" api - e.g. assert.not.visible
✔️ run chome and firefox headless
✔️ auto-generated configuration file
And more:

Hey, that's exactly what we have. 😎
Also the "About" section is where you can find out how and why the project was created, the team behind it, and how to get involved.

A thought about "good" documentation:
The best examples that come to mind all have:
1) A clear "getting started" page
2) A thorough *but modular* guide
3) A generated API reference
#3 gets FAR too much focus
#1 is low-hanging fruit
#2 is what truly sets projects apart

We published yesterday a small updated (v1.2.3) which fixes the stack traces to correctly show where in the test is the failure located.

👩🏻💻Looking to get into contributing to Open Source? I wrote up a little guide to help you get started.
Teaches things like what to look for, how to submit a PR, and how to keep forks up to date. Cheers!

Thanks @haoqunjiang for taking the time to review and merge the PR.

If you happen to work with the @Vuejs framework, don't forget that Nightwatch.js is by default available as a plugin in #VueCLI and the plugin was recently upgraded to use the latest version and also has new capabilities.

No, not unless mocha supports that. But we'll add support for BDD (describe) interface soon into nightwatch.
@nightwatchjs Hi, is it possible to use async/await when using mocha as test runner? Can't get it to work, for default runner it works just fine.

We have just added a new community resources section on our website, containing links to tutorials, guides, and a few open-source projects using Nightwatch.
Also an About section with more details about the project's vision, roadmap, how to contribute.

Although some of the points mentioned in this article are not entirely accurate, they draw the conclusion that "Nightwatch is obviously the best" - we'll take it, thank you.
FWIW Nightwatch can be used to test any web applications, not just Node.js ones. dzone.com/articles/top-8-jav…

If you happen to update Chromedriver to version 76, you need to update your capabilities setting also to include:
chromeOptions: {
w3c: false
}

How's everyone doing? Back from vacation yet? Good.
How about telling us about your project in which you use Nightwatch by writing a few lines on this Github issue?

Thanks a bunch!
We are very curious to learn about where Nightwatch is being used and the ways it is being used.
Please could you add yourself in the replies to this Github issue? Your help is much appreciated.

@nightwatchjs We want to report errors to browserstack, but i can't find documentation on how to access errors in the after hook, e.g.:
after : function(browser)
{
const sessionId = browser.sessionId;
const errors = browser.errors;
}

Sounds like you’ve made the right choice.
Well, regarding @Cypress_io, were already using @nightwatchjs
We need cross-browser testing, not only Chrome :/
