WebdriverIO with an Electron application set up. Having issues with chrome binary - electron

Question

I'm trying to set up webdriverIO with an electron application. I've read the docs and done my best to set things up but keep running into issues with chromedriver.
ERROR webdriver: Request failed with status 500 due to unknown error: unknown error: no chrome binary at C:\Users\Myself\Automation\AppName\src\AppName.Client\AutomatedTests\packages\client\.build\main.js/win-unpacked/AppName.exe
My wdio.conf.js looks like this:
exports.config = {
component tests.
runner: 'local',
specs: [
'./specs/**/*.feature'
],
exclude: [
],
maxInstances: 10,
capabilities: [{
browserName: 'chrome',
'goog:chromeOptions': {
binary: __dirname + '/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd', // Path to your Electron binary.
args: [
'app=' + __dirname + '/packages/client/.build/main.js',
'--disable-extensions',
'--no-sandbox',
'--enable-logging',
],
},
}],
services: [
[
'electron',
{
appPath: join(__dirname + '/packages/client/.build/main.js'),
appName: "AppName",
appArgs: [
],
chromedriver: {
port: 5000,
logFileName: 'wdio-chromedriver.log',
args: ['--silent'],
},
},
],
],
}
My package.json
{
"name": "webdriverio-tests",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"#wdio/cli": "^8.1.3",
"#wdio/cucumber-framework": "^8.1.2",
"#wdio/local-runner": "^8.1.3",
"#wdio/spec-reporter": "^8.1.2",
"chromedriver": "^108.0.0",
"electron-chromedriver": "^13.0.0",
"wdio-chromedriver-service": "^8.0.1",
"wdio-electron-service": "^3.5.0"
},
"scripts": {
"wdio": "wdio run wdio.conf.js"
}
}
Can someone pinpoint what's happened here? One thing that i've noticed is it that although chromedriver will run before I get the failure message- it seems to be looking for an .exe that doesn't exist.
But I feel as though i've already told it where electron should be looking in the wdio.conf.js file.
Someone please bring me salvation.
