scriptuser requested to merge dependabot-npm_and_yarn-webdriverio-8.0.0 into main

Bumps webdriverio from 7.27.0 to 8.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from webdriverio's releases.

v8

💥 Breaking Change

  • Drop Node.js v12, v13 and v14 Support
  • Transition code base from CommonJS to ESM
    • This should not affect WebdriverIO users as you can use the testrunner, as well as webdriver, devtools and webdriverio NPM packages in a CJS environment
    • We still mark this as breaking as we can't gurantee that all (untested) functionality will behave the same due to all rewrites done to the code base
  • Removal of @wdio/sync which we deprecated in v7
  • WebdriverIO types are now accessible through @wdio/globals/types instead of webdriverio/async
  • Removal of browser.config
    • Please use browser.options instead
    • This will stop support assigning custom properties to the wdio.conf.js which we disadvise you to do, instead either assign it as part of a custom capability, e.g. custom:options (note the : in it, read more on custom capabilities in the WebDriver spec) or via `@wdio/shared-store-service
  • discontinued support for tsconfig-paths

🚀 New Feature

  • New runner plugin called @wdio/browser-runner allows you to run unit and component tests in the browser
  • Access WebdriverIO primitives through the new @wdio/globals package
  • New Action API

🏠 Internal

  • Update required Node.js version for development to v18.12.1
  • Migrate unit tests from Jest to Vitest

💅 Polish

  • Improvements on configuration wizard and create-wdio
    • It now detects whether your projects uses ESM or CJS and creates example files accordingly
    • It now finds the project root and sets up the project relative to it
    • Adds support for browser runner selection

📝 Documentation

  • Little design tweaks to the hero section on the main page
  • Added new section for component testing
  • Added new API section for browser, element, mock objects, modules and environment variables
