Hi @xLexip,

thanks for reporting this issue. I could reproduce it.

It seems like since v9 the hooks have changed their internal behavior. We need to investigate this further. As a workaround you could move your wdi5.goTo(...) directly into an it(...) step.

Regards
Simon

Hello again?

[heimwege]

@Siolto or @vobu can we please re-open this one? I've fallen into the same trap 🙈
The wdi5 types also still proposes goTo e.g. in the before hook which crashes at runtime.
The proposed workaround directly using it in the it works 👍🏻

[vobu]

we're still having major performance issues w/ wdi5^3 ↔︎ wdio^9 - so even though this is meh, there's currently some bigger fish to catch first 😬
