Custom steps error

1

Hi, I have a question about steps_file in CodeceptJS version 3.0

Before I use this file like:

import { actorCommon } from '../common/custom-steps';

export = () => {
  return actor({
    ...actorCommon,

    async goToCustomerArea(text: string): Promise<void> {
      await actorCommon.goToPage(customerAreaUrl);
      this.waitForVisible('//*[contains(text(), "' + text + '")]');
    },
  })
}

But now I have 2 errors, to be honest, 1 error:

  • I cannot use async\await function
  • I cannot send a param text: string

Because actor expects only () => void functions

Type '(text: string) => Promise<void>' is not assignable to type '() => void'

hey @HugWolf I guess you need to import actor like this. My following code works for me.

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

export = function () {
  return actor({    

    assertNotContain(a: any, b: any) {
      return expect(a).not.toContain(b);
    },

  });
}

It works because of your const { actor } = require('codeceptjs');
Your actor type is any
If you change it to import {actor} from 'codeceptjs' you will see my problem.

Anyway, my goal is:
I have the structure:

  • common module
  • desktop module
  • mobile module

Everyone contains steps_file. So I need to import common_step_file to desktop and mobile.

Like this:
Common_step_file

const I = actor();

export const commonActor = {
 // some common functions
}

desktop_step_file

import {commonActor} from 'Common_step_file'

export = () => {
  return actor({
    ...commonActor,
    // some desktop functions
  })
}

And it works on CodeceptJS 2.X version
