Fixture.before Method

Defines the before fixture hook. The before fixture hook runs before the beginning of the first test in the fixture.

fixture.before( fn(ctx) ) → this

Parameter	Type	Description
fn	Function	An asynchronous hook function that contains hook code.
ctx	Object	A fixture context object that stores user-defined data.

Fixture hooks run between tests and, as such, cannot access the browser. Use them to perform server-side operations. To perform browser operations before and after tests, use test hooks.

Use the fixture.after hook to execute code after the final fixture test.
