In @playwright/test, test.beforeAll()
is a hook that you can use to set up resources or configurations before your tests run.
If you want this hook to run before all tests in a specific group, you should place it inside the test.describe()
block. Here's an example:
import { test } from '@playwright/test';
test.describe('My Test Suite', () => {
test.beforeAll(async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://ray.run');
});
test('My Test', async ({ page }) => {
// Your test code here
});
});
In this case, the beforeAll
hook will run before all tests in the 'My Test Suite' group. If you have multiple beforeAll
hooks, they'll run in the order they were registered.
If a worker process restarts due to test failures, the beforeAll
hook will run again in the new worker.
Alternatively, you can call beforeAll
outside of any describe
block. This will make it run before all tests in the file.
Don't forget to use test.afterAll()
to clean up any resources set up in beforeAll
. This ensures there are no lingering resources or processes after your tests finish.
In summary, where you place beforeAll
depends on whether you want it to run for a specific group of tests or for all tests in a file.
