setState
State Handlers helps us to run specific asynchronous code that puts our application in a specific state. We can use these state handlers in our tests to reset/set state before each test case.
Syntax
js
setState(name, data?);
✅ Correct Usage
js
setState('admin user');
setState('admin user', { data: 'some data' });
Arguments
> name (string)
Name of the state handler
> data (object)
Data that will be passed to the state handler
Examples
Normal
js
const { spec, handler } = require('pactum');
handler.addStateHandler('fix earth', async (ctx) => {
const { data } = ctx;
// code to add data in database
// or code to reset redis
// or custom code to centering a div
});
await spec
.setState('fix earth')
.get('/users')
.expectStatus(200);
