Function to run before all tests (can be sync or async)
describe('Hardware Integration Tests', () => {
// ✅ Correct: before inside describe block
before(async () => {
await hardware.initialize();
await hardware.selfTest();
});
before(() => {
config = loadTestConfig('test-settings.json');
process.env.TEST_MODE = 'true';
});
test('should connect to ECU', () => {
// Test implementation
});
});
// ❌ Wrong: before outside describe block
// before(() => { // This will not work properly });
Run setup code before all tests in the current suite. MUST be used within a describe block. Only executes if any test in the suite is enabled through testEnableControl. Used for one-time setup operations like initializing hardware, loading configuration, or establishing database connections.
