Hooks for Kakunin tests

This section explains how to add priority hooks for kakunin tests based on the built-in adapter. Hooks allow you to perform actions before and after scenario. For example, it lets you clear all files from the downloads folder.

How to add hook with priority:

initializeHook()

this method is provided to execute hook logic.

getPriority()

this method returns numeric value and then it's sorted in order.

Remember that new Hook must contain these 2 methods to fulfill interface.

After your hook is ready to use method hookHandlers.addHook(Hook object)

Example of example.hook.js:

const { hookHandlers, Before } = require('kakunin');

class ExampleHook {
  initializeHook() {
    Before(() => {
      console.log('This hook is going to be 5th in order');
    });
  }

  getPriority() {
    return 5;
  }
}

hookHandlers.addHook(new ExampleHook());

Build in hooks:

Clear download:

Clears download folder before or/and after scenario. To use them add @downloadClearBefore or @downloadClearAfter tag. Its priority is set to 1.

Reload fixtures:

allows you to reload fixtures before the desired scenario, via URL provided in .env file. Its priority is set to 2.

Take a screenshot and clear variables:

These hooks are used by kakunin mechanism to clear variable store and take screenshots after scenarios. Their priority is set to 1.
