@qavajs/memory

This library provides single storage of variables for @qavajs framework

npm install @qavajs/memory

Usage

Lib resolves provided value from storage

const memory = require('@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

Lib provides capability to set constant values and computed (values that calculated in the moment of call)

module.exports = {
    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

const memory = require('@qavajs/memory');
const memoryMap = require('./memoryMap.js')
Before(async function() {
    memory.register(memoryMap);
});

Escape $

$ can be escaped with double backslash

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

Parallel

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

const { parallel } = require('@qavajs/memory/utils');

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 });
}

module.exports = Memory;
