get test title in After() or Scenario()

[adudyak]

Is there a way to access Test title in After() or at least in Scenario()?
After(() => { this.test.title; });

I'm sending requests to API in scenarios, so would like to have a copy of sent request to be saved as file name %Scenario%.json

I think those would help https://codecept.io/internal-api/#event-listeners

I see, "test" object is passed by framework itself, I just need to add my instructions in custom steps. Thank you, will try.

In the events.js file, you can also store the test.title and other values like test.tags, 'test.parent'etc by capturing these in the event.test.before event and use it anywhere in your test framework by exporting it.

@myrepojuly1987, do you have example in regular Scenario()?

[myrepojuly1987]

@adudyak - You mean how to call the test title inside the test scenario? You can try something like below

const { event } = require('codeceptjs');

const testDetails = {
  title: null
};

event.dispatcher.on(event.test.before, function (test) {
  testDetails.title =test.title ;
});

module.exports = { testDetails };

Then in your test file,

const  {testDetails} = require('./events');

Feature('Test something');

Scenario('test scenario', async ({ I }) => {
  console.log(testDetails.title);
});

I don't think we the below is required in the codecept.conf.js. You can remove it, if the above works. Please test it.

CustomSteps: {
     require: './events.js' //relative path to the events.js file
   }

Also, to avoid potential data races, you can create a new object

const testDetails = [];

event.dispatcher.on(event.test.before, function (test) {
  testDetails.push({ title: test.title });
});

Then access the above in your tests

got the approach, thanks

@myrepojuly1987 I tried, it works. simply put that code on top level of test:

import { event } from 'codeceptjs';
event.dispatcher.on(event.test.before, function (test) {
  console.log(test.title);
});

Will see if I need any wrappers to hide code.
Thank you!
