WebdriverIO - How to run .bat script using WebDriverIO

Question

Is there a possibility to run .bat file (script) using WebdriverIO, preferable into before hook, located into WDIO.conf file?

before: function () {
        console.log("this is before");
    },

Answer 1

Yeah, it's possible you just need to import execFileSync and join methods and then you can run it like that:

const { execFileSync } = require('child_process');
const { join } = require('path');

before: function () {
   execFileSync(join(__dirname, './script.bat'));
}
