Adding a helpers file

We begin by preparing our helper commands, which require the utility-types package in order to support optional parameters in TypeScript. This package is installed with the following command:

> yarn add utility-types

We will next add a \helpers folder that contains a helpers.ts file module. This contains several methods for resolving issues in the framework. This is where we will store the majority of our custom supporting code for the framework.

To create a helpers file in a WebdriverIO project written in TypeScript, we need to do the following:

1. Create a new directory in our project to store our helper functions. This directory will be called helpers, located within our src directory.
2. Within the helpers directory, create a new TypeScript file for our helper functions. Let’s call this file helpers.ts.
3. At the top of the helpers.ts file, we need to import the necessary types and functions to support file paths, global objects, and...
