Description

I've been going through optimizations we can do for our webdriverIO tests and the last thing I found that will make a little difference is to make it possible to configure our setup to only take screenshots on failures.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Make it possible to configure WebdriverIO to only take screenshots on failure
  • Add settings so you a user can enable screenshots for all tests
