Run multicapabilities non-parallel

Question

I'm running some end-to-end tests on my website. I want to do these tests in both Chrome and Firefox, so I've configured the configuration file with multicapabilities: [{browserName: 'chrome'}, {browserName: 'firefox'}]. But when running the tests the two browser instances interfere with each other because sometimes Chrome does an action with will fail the Firefox tests.

My question: Is it possible to not run the two browser instances in parallel? Instead I first want Chrome to do the tests, then when Chrome is finished, Firefox should start. Is this possible?

You can do MaxSessions = 1 in you config file. This limits the number of browser instances that can run in parallel. Beautifully explained in this post on StackOverflow. Please let me know if this helps!

If I add `maxSessions: 1` with a `s` it works just the way I want! Thanks! :) – Olov Apr 20 '15 at 11:11
