Just to use FileSystem helper

But you are not using it according to configuration!

Please remove WebDriverIO from your config and add "FileSystem"

  "helpers": {
    "FileSystem": {}

[ybohaienko]

Sorry for the stupid question)

@DavertMik I just saw this post and am relatively new to codeceptjs myself. Can't we have both WebDriver and FileSystem in the helpers in the conf file? In fact, my understanding is that we may add any helper that we need to that list. Isn't that so?

[DavertMik]

Sure we can use WebDriver and FileSystem together
