Extra logging for all browser instances about grunt-mocha-webdriver HOT 7 CLOSED

(I didn't try it... but...) did you try to create a top-level before(function() {...}) that contains your snippet (with this.browser instead of self.browser?

from grunt-mocha-webdriver.

I have over 50 test files here and I do not want to add that before block on the top of every test file.

What I really fancy is having a reference to the browser variable inside the require option (https://github.com/jmreidy/grunt-mocha-webdriver#require)

Also, I want to add plenty of custom chain method for all these tests files. How can I do that the most elegant way from one central place?

You don't need to add it on top of every test file. Only in one file. from mochajs website:

" Note that you may also pick any file and add "root" level hooks, for example add beforeEach() outside of describe()s then the callback will run before any test-case regardless of the file its in. This is because Mocha has a root Suite with no name."

To your second question (where should you add your chain methods), personally I do it in files (grouped by types) that are loaded by that same file that contain that top-level before().

In my grunt config, I have: mochaWebdriver: {oneTarget: {src: ['before.js', ...]}}

And in before.js, I have:

...
before(function() {
  // note that this before is not in a context() or describe()
  // you can put your .on bindings here
    require('helpers/chainMethodsGroup1')(this.wd);
    require('helpers/chainMethodsGroup2')(this.wd);

})

helpers/chainMethodsGroup1:

function func1() {
}

module.exports = (function(wd) {
  wd.addPromiseMethod('func1', func1);
});

Interesting! And where do you put the global stuff, i.E.

var chai = require('chai');
global.expect = chai.expect;

??? In before.js too or in a file defined with require?

PS: I would love to see a complete working example of your code. Do you think you could do a Gist?

from grunt-mocha-webdriver.

I put that in my "require" file:
My require file looks like this (everything is here):

/*jshint node:true*/
// Chai
var chai = require('chai');

chai.use(
  global.chaiAsPromised = require('chai-as-promised')
);
chai.should();

Wonderful @saadtazi thanks so much!!
