cant run run-multiple parallel with ---profile

[vitaly87]

What are you trying to achieve?

trying to call run-multiple parallel with ---profile

What do you get instead?

looks like when running it parallel the codeceptjs ignore this param

• CodeceptJS version:
  codeceptjs@1.4.5

Could you share your config?

I have suggestion, that browser in multiple section rewrote your process.profile || 'chrome' (as in example ) described in browser section in WebDriverIO section.
And this multiple browser does not include process.profile || 'chrome' expression.

the issue that I want to be able to pass parameters on start with flag profile it is working on codeceotjs run and should also work on parallel. what I am passing is user and pass.

My current workaround here is to avoid usage of --profile and instead use a separate config file with -c configs/…

[pablopaul]

Should be fixed with newest release 2.6 - use process.env.profile instead of process.profile.

I am using codeceptjs 2.6.6 and still seeing an issue with this. It looks like one codeceptjs instance is using the profile, but the second is undefined.

Test run output:

{
  // printing our config urls
}
profile dev // console.log(process.env.profile)
{
 // printing our config urls
}
profile undefined // console.log(process.env.profile)```

I am using codeptjs 2.6.7 and process.env.profile is not parsed even when using chunks: 1

Looks like --profile is not passed to child processes using run-multiple.

For example, I want to pass a test URL as an argument: --profile env="https://test.com". I have a function to retrieve this by looking at the process.argv and returning when it matches. @pablopaul any suggestions on how to get this working?

[paulcredmond]

I made a workaround function to get the config passed to the child processes, parse it and get the URL from there.

@paulcredmond can you please share us that function? It would benefit others.

[paulcredmond]

Sure @idxn

This very much tailored for my needs which is to pass a string (URL) for Webdriver to use as the URL to be tested.

So it would look like: npm run e2e --profile env=https://URL.com

// Profile is passed to the first process and the config is passed to child processes, but --profile is not
// This function will search for the config in the process.argv, parse the JSON and find the URL

getEnvObject: (argsArray) => {
    let url = null;
    const env = argsArray.filter((el) => el.includes('WebDriver'));
    const obj = env[0] || null;
    if (obj) {
      const parsedObj = JSON.parse(obj);
      url = parsedObj.helpers.WebDriver.url || null;
    }
    return url;
  },

let testUrl = 'http://localhost:3000/'; // default if no env= argument
const envObject = getEnvObject(process.argv);

// env= URL passed through config to child processes (run-multiple)
if (envObject) {
  testUrl = envObject;
}

module.exports = {
  testsFolder: './../tests/*_test.js',
  testUrl: testUrl,
  ...rest of config
