问题排查与解决方案

1. 核心问题点定位

超时发生在RemoteWebDriver实例化前，说明BrowserStack会话创建后，初始化流程中存在长时间无交互的窗口，导致触发空闲超时。

2. 针对性修复方案

修正IdleTimeout参数类型：当前代码中browserstack.idleTimeout传入的是字符串"240"，该参数要求为数值类型，需修改为：
```
capabilities.setCapability("browserstack.idleTimeout", 240);
```

等待Local服务就绪：QA环境下启动BrowserStack Local服务后，未等待服务完全就绪就继续执行后续逻辑，添加等待逻辑：

if(System.getProperty("env", "qa").equalsIgnoreCase("qa")) {
    options.put("forcelocal", "true");
    options.put("localIdentifier", localIdentifier);
    capabilities.setCapability("browserstack.local", "true");
    l.start(options);
    // 等待Local服务启动完成
    while(!l.isRunning()) {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
    }
}

移除冗余操作：代码中遍历打印所有环境变量，在环境变量较多时会消耗大量时间，直接移除该段日志逻辑，减少初始化耗时。
优化配置读取流程：将JSON配置文件的读取逻辑提前到测试类初始化阶段，避免每个测试方法重复读取，减少会话空闲时间。

3. 额外优化建议

会话创建后立即执行页面交互（例如打开测试站点），避免会话处于空闲状态；
检查JSON配置文件中的environments和capabilities是否存在冗余配置，简化初始化步骤；
若超时问题仍存在，可尝试将browserstack.idleTimeout值调高至300（最大允许值）。
