Overview of Changes

The managed runtime cannot load expect-webdriverio. It installs its packages with --legacy-peer-deps, which does not install peer dependencies. expect-webdriverio needs webdriverio, @wdio/globals and @wdio/logger as peers, and the runtime had none of them, so an import of expect-webdriverio stops with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND on @wdio/logger.

This does not make expect work in an Android flow. There are two causes and this PR removes one. The second is in the runner: runAndroidFlow never calls initFlowRuntime, and initFlowRuntime hardcodes platform: "web", so configureFlowRuntime always skips its mobile branch. An Android flow that calls expect fails with expect is not initialized — runner must call configureFlowRuntime before flow code runs. That work is tracked separately.

  • src/domains/runtimeEnv/pinnedPackages.ts: the managed runtime also installs webdriverio, @wdio/globals and @wdio/logger. The comment records both blockers.
  • package.json: adds @wdio/globals and @wdio/logger as development dependencies, and makes webdriverio one. The CLI does not resolve webdriverio from node_modules: the bundler inlines it into dist/cli.js. A dependency would put its peer graph into every install of @qawolf/cli.
  • src/domains/runner/runAndroidFlowDeps.ts: corrects the comment on the dynamic import. It said the dynamic import stops the bundler from tracing webdriverio, which is not what happens.
  • scripts/genDependencyVersions.ts: one table of constant name to package name, in place of a statement for each package. The list goes from seven packages to ten.
  • bun.lock: the result of bun install.

The managed runtime directory name changes, so the CLI installs the runtime again when you first run a flow.

Testing

bun run test
bun run typecheck
bun run lint
bun run format:check
bun run knip

Tested against a real Android emulator. qawolf install android accepted the SDK licences, installed system-images;android-35;google_apis_playstore;arm64-v8a, created AVD qawolf_pixel_9_api35 and installed the UiAutomator2 driver.

A flow then ran on that emulator:

  • The emulator booted through the CLI pool. adb devices showed emulator-5554 device.
  • The Appium 3.6.0 server started and the UiAutomator2 driver made a session. The flow received a live driver.
  • Flow code ran against the device.

Result for expect:

  • With this branch, a direct call of configureFlowRuntime with an Android target gives mobile expect initialized. On main the same call stops with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND. This is the change in this PR.
  • An Android flow that calls expect still fails, with expect is not initialized. This is the second cause, which this PR does not touch.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR moves webdriverio to development dependencies and adds @wdio/globals and @wdio/logger. Dependency version generation now uses a shared mapping. Managed runtimes import and pin all three WebdriverIO packages with expect-webdriverio. The changeset documents the patch release and restored Android and iOS flows.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7b9e6

The PR adds the missing WebdriverIO peer packages so Android flows can start; only minor changeset formatting and wording follow-up remains, with no actionable merge-blocking product risk.

Resolve webdriverio from the managed runtime. src/domains/runner/runAndroidFlowDeps.ts:22 uses a bare dynamic import, but package.json:85-94 places webdriverio only in devDependencies. The staging links do not change module resolution for the CLI bundle, so published Android runs can fail with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Load it with resolveFromEnvDir and importFromPath, as src/domains/runner/runWebFlowDeps.ts does.

In @.changeset/mobile-flow-runtime-peers.md:
- Around line 5-9: Update the changeset statement describing mobile flow
recovery to avoid claiming Android and iOS flows were verified; use a
behavior-based statement that mobile flows can initialize WebdriverIO expect
after the managed runtime installs its required peer packages. Preserve the
existing explanation of the missing packages and installation change.

In `@scripts/genDependencyVersions.ts`:
- Around line 10-13: Update the comment above the exported package-version
mapping to remove the claim that the CLI never imports these packages at
runtime; state instead that they are excluded from the published dependency
graph and installed into the managed runtime directory, while preserving the
existing peer-graph rationale.
