how to access the data from nightwatch.json file

[Vivian Ho]

Is there a way to access the data sent to selenium?  Before running a test, I need to know info like launch_url, browserName, and the config section being used.  Thanks for any help.

Ok saw the options param in lib/index.js now

If you want to do it during a setUp function it's 

this.client

so in your case it would be

this.client.launch_url

Hi Dylan,

Was just wondering is this still the correct way outside of the setUp function i.e. in one of the steps? I have just tried it in a step directly and it works but was just checking its the correct way to go.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

It should work in either case, the only reason I use it in setUp is for global access. I don't want to lose scope of variables like browserName

I am only able to read launch_url. can you please let me know how do you access browserName , screenshots path etc///?
