Sorry that I didn't test it properly before making the pull request. Will push more chance. Hold on.

Now the unit tests fail with TypeError: _get__(...) is not a function

Downgraded @wdio/sync to 5.8.0 the first version introduced fibers@4. Hope that would bring the gap between wdio-sync@0.7.3 a little closer...

Can you take a look and fix the failing unit tests? Thanks.

@renfeng @wdio/sync is for v5 and not v4 (where we use wdio-sync)

Thanks for pointing it out! Then we'll have to wait for the next release version of wdio-sync.
See their fix, webdriverio-boneyard/wdio-sync#136

I would recommend to upgrade to WebdriverIO v5

@christian-bromann so v4 is not maintained anymore and there will be no new releases? I did not find any information on this matter.

There will, but people haven't had the chance to make that release. Anyway I urgently recommend to move to v5.
