How do I get Webdriverio to work with appium-desktop inspector?

Question

Webdriverio allows you to run appium as a background process. Docs here

I'm looking to use the appium inspector to quickly get testID and native id information for selectors.

Is there a way to run the appium inspector alongside the webdriverio tests runner to inspect the app views?

Yes, sure. Just connect to existing appium instance instead of creating a new one — Mike G., Feb 09 '21 at 16:59

in the webdriverio config just add:

path: '/wd/hub',
port: '4723'

Assuming appium server is running in 4723, Make sure to remove Service

Thats it :)
