Alternative for Dataproviders

[Bapugit]

Hi,
WDIO/Mocha doesn't support dataproviders, of-course we can use for-Each instead.
Since we have many existing tests with Jasmine data providers, I wanted to check if there is any alternative for Jasmine data providers in WDIO(if we use Mocha). shall we use npm packages like mocha-param? will it work? or any similar efficient libraries to replace Jasmine data providers to migrate my code to WDIO?
Pls let me know your thoughts on it.

I am not aware of a similar alternative. I have the following questions:

• why don't you use WebdriverIO testrunner with Jasmine, would the data provider plugin work?
• of-course we can use for-Each instead. why don't you want to do it?

we have chosen mocha as it has greater advantages than Jasmine.
Currently, we are using for-Each, however, we have many existing tests with protractor/jasmine data-providers. So, migrating all these tests to wdio with for-Each and eliminating data-providers (manually changing the code ) is tedious. So, trying to find an easy path for it.

We have a codemod project that allows you to modify this code at a higher scale. If you raise a PR there for this use case, I am happy to merge and release it.
