## Important WebdriverIO Parameters

!!!info "WebdriverIO Parameters"
    For more information about how to setup your config please see the official [documentation](https://webdriver.io/docs/configurationfile/) from WebdriverIO.

### *baseUrl*
The `baseUrl` defines the entry point of your script. Here you can define in which system or application your script/s is/are being executed.
```javascript
baseUrl: "https://www.sap.com"
```

### *specs*
Inside the `specs` array you specify the scripts to execute. 
```js
specs: [
  path.resolve(__dirname, "path/to/specs/yourSpec1.spec.js"),
  path.resolve(__dirname, "path/to/specs/yourSpec2.spec.js"),
  path.resolve(__dirname, "path/to/specs/yourSpec3.spec.js")
],
```
!!! warning
    These specs are being executed sequentially in **different instances**. Therefore, data (e.g. via references.json) **can not be passed** between the specs.

To pass data between the specs (run them in a shared instance), you have to group them as shown below:
```js
specs: [
  // grouped
  [
    path.resolve(__dirname, "path/to/specs/yourSpec1.spec.js"),
    path.resolve(__dirname, "path/to/specs/yourSpec2.spec.js")
  ],
  // ungrouped
  path.resolve(__dirname, "path/to/specs/yourSpec3.spec.js")
],
```

### *maxInstances*
The number of parallel instances running at the same time.
```javascript
maxInstances: 0
```

### *bail* & *mocha bail*
In qmate there are **two different** types of parameters to specify how your test executions should behave in case of a failure. Please make sure to set both parameters with the values according to the table below. 

=== "wdio bail"
    Possible values are: `0`, `1`
    ```javascript
    bail: 1
    ```
=== "mocha bail"
    Possible values: `true`, `false`
    ```javascript
    mochaOpts: {
      bail: true
    }
    ```

Please find the below table for a detailed overview of all possible options:

| name          | mocha bail | wdio bail | result                                                                  |
| ------------- | ---------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| break all     | ``true``   | ``1``     | break whole test execution after failure                                |
| break further | ``false``  | ``1``     | continue with failed spec, break further spec execution after failure   |
| break current | ``true``   | ``0``     | break failed spec, continue further spec execution                      |
| ignore        | ``false``  | ``0``     | don't break test execution at all                                       |

!!! warning
    Grouped specs or describes within the same file will behave the same as the failed spec.



### *specFileRetries​*
The number of times to retry an entire specfile when it fails as a whole.
```javascript
specFileRetries​: 3
```

### *logLevel*
The level of logging verbosity.

Possible values are: ``trace`` | ``debug`` | ``info`` | ``warn`` | ``error`` | ``silent``
```javascript
logLevel: "warn"
```
