Do some check after each step before to run the next step

[incoming-th]

Hi,

To limit the failure of my tests, I want to wait for something after each step. Only when this check is done, script can continue with next step, etc.

For example, after each step I would like to wait for any class ".loading" to not be present in the DOM before to continue to next step.

I tried to use the event hook but it seems to not wait for the events to finish and it does not block the next step:

Not sure if I am doing this properly, but waiting for this class to not be present will grandly increase the success of the tests. I tried with all steps events already but no luck so far. So my guess is that possible but somewhere else.

Thanks

You should wrap your code in recorder

  event.dispatcher.on(event.step.finished, async (step) => {
    await recorder.add('wait to hide after each step...', async () => {
      await step.helper.waitToHide('.loading');
    }, true);
  });

That's interesting, I never really understood the differences and relation between helper and recorder.

Is the helper giving instruction to the recorder, or is the recorder just recording action from the helper? I don't see the full picture I believe.

I believe this is not possible via the events Hook, but I was able to make this happen by using the _afterStep event in a custom Helper:
