How to run many different Scenario() without closing the browser? #37
Description
How to run many different Scenario() without closing the browser? This is my code:
Before((I) => {
I.amOnPage('/');
I.fillField('email', 'someEmail@gmail.com');
I.fillField('password', '123456');
I.click('Sign in');
});
Scenario('Check to see if it has landing page and welcome msg', (I) => {
I.see('Welcome to Casefriend Version 1.0');
I.amOnPage('http://cflocal/#landing');
});
Scenario('Logining into Casefriend', (I) => {
I.click('Users');
I.click('New User');
});This code passes correctly but it opens firefox, test Scenario 1 then closes firefox, opens again, and tests second Scenario. I want it to do everything on one single firefox instance. How can I do?

I think this is a good feature that will be available soon in upcoming releases )
Thanks for the suggestion

@DavertMik It would be really awesome if the state is reset to the initiale state of the site after each test, in order to enable a clean testing environment. (This is something CasperJS has issues with 😉)

@DavertMik
This is kinda killer for working with SauceLabs (starting browsers there is slooow)
I've been looking at how to implement this today ... Basic plan of attack is just a custom WebDriverIO Helper that only starts the browser if it hasn't already been created... This could then be easily be expanded to work off a config option, and I'd probably add that after a test fails, it might be worth restarting the browser.
... only problem is there is no beforeAll/afterAll currently implemented (as per #103) so there is no place to hook into really shut down the browser ... any thoughts on doing this?

@smozely I created a PR with this feature for Protractor/Selenium, I can try to look into it for webdriver.io or If you want to have a look feel free. #167

@fabioel Have you tried using Nightmare? There's a setting that effectively does what you're referring to.
Below is an extract from my helpers config:

Closing this issue, now there is
restartoption that can be used for disabling browser restartFathimaAfshan commentedon Feb 3, 2025
helpers: {
Playwright: {
browser: 'chromium',
url: '***',
show: true,
keepBrowserState: true, // This ensures cookies and session are maintained across scenarios
restart: false, // Prevents browser from restarting after each scenario
keepCookies: true,
}
}
I have given restart as 'false' but still the browser is getting relaunched after every scenario
