How to navigate with URL search parameters in a wdi5 test? (waitForUI5Options undefined error)

[gssales]

I am trying to write a wdi5 test for a simple SAPUI5 webpage, but I need to change the URL parameters before running the tests. For example: the baseURL is localhost:8080/index.html, so before I run the test I want to navigate to localhost:8080/index.html?param=true.

Here's the code sample of what I tried to do:

describe("samples", () => {

	before(async () => {

		await browser.goTo('?test=param') // all these options failed
		// await wdi5.goTo('?test=param')
		// await wdi5.goTo({ sHash: '?test=param' })
		
	})

	it("should log", () => {
		const logger = wdi5.getLogger()
		logger.log("hello world!")
	})

	it("should retrieve a UI5 control", async () => {
		const appLocator = {
			selector: {
				controlType: "sap.m.App",
				viewName: "test_sandbox.view.App"
			}
		}

		const app = await browser.asControl(appLocator) // seems to crash around here 
		expect(app).toBeDefined()
	})
...

When I run this test, I see the URL changing but I get the following error and the test fails:

This project was created using the easy-ui5 generator and the npm init wdi5@latest -- --ts command.

I am using:

• npm v9.8.1
• node v18.18.2
• wdi5 v2.0.6
• wdio v8.34.1

Can someone help me with this? How can I navigate with the URL params and achieve my tests?

Thank you

do you have to do this manually or can you simply use the URL parameters directly in the baseUrl?

[gssales]

We expected to change the URL params while running the test suites. For example: test case where if language_code param in the url changes, the page language also changes.
