wdio plugin launcher options do not have support to set browserstackLocal

Start by inspecting the wdio plugin launcher at node_modules/codeceptjs/lib/puglin/wido.js and compare the launcher options with the provided configuration. Verify that the browserstackLocal setting is passed through and that BrowserStack local testing is no longer reported as disabled.

What are you trying to achieve?

I am using WebDriverIO and @wdio/browserstack-service for testing via browser stack local

What do you get instead?

Browserstack local testing is always disabled

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

INFO @wdio/browserstack-service: browserstackLocal is not enabled - skipping...

• CodeceptJS version: 3.0.4
• NodeJS Version: 12.10.0
• Operating System: Windows 10
• webdriverio: 6.10.11
• @wdio/browserstack-service: 6.10.10
• Configuration file:

exports.config = {
  tests: './tests/*_test.ts',
  timeout: 5000,

  helpers: {
    WebDriver: {
      host: 'hub.browserstack.com',

  include: {

  },
  gherkin: {

  bootstrap: null,
  mocha: {},

      enabled:true
    },
    wdio: {
      enabled: true,
      services: ['browserstack']
    }
  }
}

As a work around for now, I have modified node_modules\codeceptjs\lib\puglin\wido.js and added browserstackLocal:true

for (const name of config.services) {
    // webdriverio v5 style
    const Service = safeRequire(`@wdio/${name.toLowerCase()}-service`);
    if (Service) {
      if (Service.launcher && typeof Service.launcher === 'function') {
        const Launcher = Service.launcher;

        const version = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(require.resolve('webdriverio'), '/../../', 'package.json')).toString()).version;
        if (version.indexOf('5') === 0) {
          launchers.push(new Launcher(config));
        } else {
          const options = { logPath: global.output_dir, installArgs: seleniumInstallArgs, args: seleniumArgs, browserstackLocal:true };
          launchers.push(new Launcher(options, [config.capabilities], config));
        }
      }
      if (typeof Service === 'function') {
        services.push(new Service(config, config.capabilities));
      }
      continue;
    }

    throw new Error(`Couldn't initialize service ${name} from wdio plugin config.\nIt should be available either in '@wdio/${name.toLowerCase()}-service' package`);
  }
