@qavajs/memory

Unified test data storage for the @qavajs framework

npm install @qavajs/memory

Usage

The module resolves the provided value from storage

import memory from '@qavajs/memory';

When(/^save variable as '(.+)'$/, async function (key) {
    memory.setValue(key, 42);
});

Then(/^value '(.+)' should be equal to '(.+)'$/, async function (variable1, variable2) {
    const val = memory.getValue(variable1);
    expect(val).to.equal(variable2);
});

When save variable as 'variable'
Then value of '$variable' should be equal to '42'

Using constants and computed

The module provides the capability to set constant values and computed (values that are calculated at the moment of call)

export default {
    constant: 42,
    now: function() {
        return Date.now()
    }
};

Register constants and computed

Before using memory, it needs to be registered. The best place to do it is Before hook

import memory from '@qavajs/memory';
import memoryMap from './memoryMap.js';

Before(async function() {
    memory.register(memoryMap);
});

Escape $

$ can be escaped with a double backslash

When I expect text of 'Currency Label' to equal '\\$42'

Parallel

In case you need to assign a unique value for each Cucumber thread and qavajs shard, you can use a parallel function. It will assign value based on CUCUMBER_WORKER_ID and SHARD env variables.

import { parallel } from '@qavajs/memory/utils';

export default class Memory {
    user = parallel([
        { username: 'user1', password: 'password' },
        { username: 'user2', password: 'password' }
    ]);

    // shard mode 
    shardUser = parallel([
        { username: 'user1', password: 'password' },
        { username: 'user2', password: 'password' },
        { username: 'user3', password: 'password' },
        { username: 'user4', password: 'password' }
    ], { shard: true });
}
