TestCafe Config

This folder is, by convention, the place for all configuration files used at runtime by every steps.

Environment configuration

You can target the tests execution for any kind of environment. All available environments should be declared in the environments.ts file.

Persona configuration

You can target the tests execution for any kind of users. All available users should be declared in the personas.ts file.

Custom command-line options

You can add any custom command-line options to the existing TestCafe command-line options. To do this, customize the content of parsed-config.ts.

Usage

The configuration object is injected in tests via the before hook of the fixture statement:

fixture("Feature: TestCafe Example")
  .before(async (ctx) => {
    // inject global configuration in the fixture context
    ctx.config = getCurrentConfig();
  });

The configuration object is then retrieved by each step with the following statements:

import {t} from "testcafe";

// code omitted for brevity

// get the config that was injected into the fixture/test context by the feature
const config = getCurrentConfig(t);
await t
  .expect(selector.submitButton.hasAttribute("disabled"))
    .notOk({timeout: config.timeout.longTimeout});
