Specification
Before executing (the first) test case, users can run an initialization script. This script is used for pre-test setup, including:
- Setting environment variables
- Defining reporters
- Configuring logging
- Other necessary pre-execution tasks
By default, TeaPie automatically detects and executes the first init.csx script found in the .teapie folder, collection folder or parent folder of the test case.
Custom Initialization Script
Users can specify a custom initialization script instead of the default by using the following option:
-i | --init-script | --initialization-script <path-to-script>
