Add the ability to exclude some browsers for Multiremote configuration

[kluverua]

A problem
I have a web and mobile environment and I want to compare screens from only the mobile device.
Currently the visual service is trying to capture images from both.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an additional parameter to 'wdio-ics:options'
For example: disable: true

capabilities: {
  webBrowser: {
    capabilities: {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      browserVersion: 'stable',
      'wdio-ics:options': {
	disable: true
      },
    }
  },
  appiumBrowser: {
    hostname: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 4723,
    capabilities: {
      'appium:avd': avd,
      'appium:platformName': 'Android',
      'appium:browserName': '',
      'appium:automationName': 'uiautomator2',
      'wdio-ics:options': {
         logName: 'Medium_Tablet_36',
      },
    }
  }
}

Describe alternatives you've considered
Any other parameter in capabilities or in service options

Hi @kluverua

What's the code you use to capture the screenshot? Because it should work like this for a single instance

await multiremotebrowser.appiumBrowser.checkScreen('tag')

using

await browser.checkScreen('tag')

will always create screenshots of both instances, that's how Mutliremote works

[kluverua]

I use this code browser['appiumBrowser'].checkScreen('tag')
But somehow my code jumps to the middle of method #addMultiremoteCommand

And that doesn't work? Because it should only create one screenshot

I have created new wdio project from scratch (npm init wdio@latest):

package.json

{
  "name": "wdio_sandbox",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "wdio run wdio.conf.ts"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/jasmine": "^5.1.8",
    "@wdio/cli": "^9.15.0",
    "@wdio/jasmine-framework": "^9.15.0",
    "@wdio/local-runner": "^9.15.0",
    "@wdio/spec-reporter": "^9.15.0",
    "@wdio/visual-service": "^8.0.4"
  }
}

wdio.conf.ts

capabilities: {
        chrome: {
            capabilities: {
                browserName: 'chrome',
                'goog:chromeOptions': {
                    args: [
                        'window-size=1280,800'
                    ]
                },
                'wdio-ics:options': {
                    logName: 'chrome',
                },
            }
        },
        edge: {
            capabilities: {
                browserName: 'MicrosoftEdge',
                'wdio-ics:options': {
                    logName: 'edge',
                },
            }
        }
    },
    services: [
        [
            'visual',
            {
                screenshotPath: './screenshots',
                baselineFolder: 'reference-images',
                autoSaveBaseline: false,
                formatImageName: '{tag}-{logName}',
            }
        ]
    ],

test

import {browser, multiremotebrowser} from '@wdio/globals'

describe('My Login application', () => {
    it('should login with valid credentials', async () => {
        await browser.url(`https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/login`)
        await browser.pause(1000)
        await multiremotebrowser.chrome.checkScreen('login-success')
    })
})

put only one image (login-success-chrome.png) in reference-images folder

Error:
#####################################################################################
Baseline image not found, save the actual image manually to the baseline.
The image can be found here:
screenshots\actual\login-success-edge.png
#####################################################################################

Maybe something changes in wdio 9.15.0...

Ok, let me check this . It might be a bit later because I'm pretty busy lately, but this feels like a bug
