Thanks for the link! I came into the same conclusion myself this morning. For anyone else googling this issue and scrolling straight down, this fixed browser.getLogs for me:

// wdio.conf.js
exports.config = {
  // ...
  services: ['selenium-standalone'],
  seleniumInstallArgs: {
    drivers: {
      chrome: {
        version: '77.0.3865.40', // depending on when u see this, you may want something newer
        arch: process.arch,
        baseURL: 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com',
      },
    },
  },
  seleniumArgs: {
    drivers: {
      chrome: { version: '77.0.3865.40' },
    },
  },
  // ...
};

However, this version broke sendKeys (which can be worked around with getActiveElement and elementSendKeys)

@WilliamNurmi its not enough to install chromedriver you should also use it.

See https://webdriver.io/docs/selenium-standalone-service.html#configuration
