Driver.init is not a function ?

[flash1108]

This is my code, it is generated by appium-inspector

 test.js 
  const wdio = require('webdriverio');
  const caps = { ... }

  const driver = wdio.remote({
  protocol: "http",
  host: "127.0.0.1",
  port: 4723,
  path: "/wd/hub",
  desiredCapabilities: caps
});

driver.init()
  .element("~phoneField")
  .setValue("0908011111")
  .element("~passwordField")
  .setValue("abcde")
  .end();

I run it -> node test.js I get this: driver.init() ^ TypeError: driver.init is not a function

can you help me? What happened?

it looks like the generated code may be out of date with webdriverio. please refer to the webdriverio docs and they should show you how to start a session. you can then adjust the generated code to be correct. (and maybe raise a PR here to fix the way the code is generated?)

@jlipps I have updated the recorder script for webdriverio with the latest documentation and raised PR #636 . Kindly review and let me know your thoughts. Thanks:)
