Run before hook for every browser

In TestCafé, I want to run a test in different browsers in parallel. Each session should sign up and log in with a different user account.

I tried to achieve this with the before hook:

let user = null;

fixture("My fixture")
  .page("http://localhost:8080")
  .before(() => {
    user = faker.internet.email();
  });

test("login", async t => {
  // using user in here
});

However, this hook is just executed once for all browsers, I need to run it for each browser so that I can have different credentials each time.

Is this feasible?

This is the NPM script:

testcafe firefox,chrome,edge tests.js

Solution

  • Yes, you can use the beforeEach hook for this.
