Chrome/firefox/safari- browser does not auto-start on macOS unless Selenium Standalone is manually launched

Comienza con la configuración de WebDriver de codecept.conf.js indicada, especialmente con la configuración services: ["chromedriver"] y los detalles del entorno macOS. Reproduce la configuración en macOS y verifica si el navegador se inicia sin lanzar manualmente Selenium Standalone; se considera completado cuando el error de conexión ya no se produce.

Please share the macOS-supported codecept.conf.js file. With the current configuration below, the local automation does not automatically start ChromeDriver on macOS
Error | Error: Can't connect to WebDriver
We need to explicitly start standalone Selenium to launch the browser
