I followed the advice in this post to create dynamic tests, but I am encountering an issue where the actual test (test.getMochaTest() in my implementation below) is not being executed. It seems like the call on test.getMochaTest() is not getting executed in the before block.
describe('Dynamic Tests for Mocha', async () => {
let outcome ;
before(async() => {
await init().catch(() => console.error('Puppeteer environment initialization failed'));
return collectTests().then(async(collectTests) => {
console.info('4.Executing tests :');
describe('Dynamic test execution', async() => {
collectTests.forEach(async(test) => {
console.info(`\tModule under test : ${test.name}`);
// impl. of test.getMochaTest() DOES NOT get executed.
it(test.name, async() => outcome = await test.getMochaTest().catch(async () => {
console.error(`error while executing test:\t${test.name}`);
}));
});
}) ;
});
});
after(async () => {
console.info('5. Exiting tests...');
await HelperUtils.delay(10000).then(async () => { await browser.close(); });
console.log('executing after block');
});
it('placeholder', async() => {
await
console.log('place holder hack - skip it');
});
});
An array of tests is generated here :
async function collectTests():Promise<Array<ITest>> {
console.info('3.Collecting tests to execute ...');
testArray = new Array<ITest>();
const login:ITest = new SLogin('Login Check');
testArray.push(login);
return testArray;
}
The implementation of getMochaTest in SLogin below does not seem to be executed properly.
export default class SLogin extends BTest implements ITest {
constructor(name: string) {
super(name);
}
async getMochaTest():Promise<Mocha.Func> {
return async () => {
console.log('Running Login check');
expect(true).to.equal(true);
};
}
}
