Optional callback function to be called when the command finishes.

Overview

Behind the scenes, the end commands sends a DELETE request to the WebDriver server, passing the current sessionId property. After the DELETE is done, the sessionId is null-ed.

If the sessionId is not set, the callback is invoked right away and complete event is signaled.

Taking screenshots on failures/errors

If test failures or errors exist and screenshots are enabled, then screenshots are taken prior to sending the DELETE.

To enable screenshots for test failures/errors, set the screenshots property in your nightwatch.json, under the desired test_settings environment. E.g.:


{
  "test_settings" : {
    "default" : {
      "screenshots" : {
        "enabled" : true,
        "on_failure" : true,
        "path" : "./screens"
      }
    }
  }
}
