[Question] How to launch an error in autoLogin custom step #2600
Description
I've implemented an autoLogin based on REST calls, to optimize the time in login and check processes, the problem is that when the token is invalid I don't know how to mark the check process as invalid so the workflow continues with login stage, if I throw an Error() the entire autoLogin process is halt due to an unexpected error. All the examples I saw use the existing API based on user interface where the user fill-in the credentials in a form and so on, but I didn't find anything using REST helper.
My autoLogin config:
autoLogin: {
enabled: true,
saveToFile: true,
inject: 'login',
users: {
admin: {
login: async (I) => {
I.amOnPage('/login');
await I.loginWithCredentials(adminUser.username, adminUser.password);
},
check: (I) => {
const token = codeceptjs.store['admin_session'];
I.validateToken(token);
},
fetch: async (I) => {
const cookie = await I.grabCookie('token');
return cookie.value;
},
restore: (I, sessionToken) => {
I.amOnPage('/login');
I.saveTokenData(sessionToken);
}
},
}
}The custom validationToken() step is something like:
module.exports = function() {
return actor({
async validateToken(token) {
let response = await this.sendGetRequest(`/api/session/validate?token=${token}`);
if (response.status === 200) {
if (response.data === true) {
return true;
}
}
throw new Error('Invalid token !!');
}
});As (ugly) workaround I've got the following code in autoLogin.check implementation:
check: async (I) => {
console.log('admin.check');
const token = codeceptjs.store['admin_session'];
const isValid = await I.validateToken(token);
if (!isValid) {
I.see("NOTHING TO SEE HERE, so It'll fail");
}
},By the way, I launched the same question in StackOverflow with a bounty, but without luck by the moment.

Hey Roberto! How about use the assert.fail method? It will fail your entire Scenario and you can customize the message!
Check method:

Hi @brunoklein ,
assert.fail()doesn't work, the result is similar tothrow Error()in this case.In other words, the whole Scenario is marked as failure, because this is like an unexpected error, the autoLogin plugin has a workflow, explained in https://codecept.io/plugins/#autologin, but the workflow doesn't continue when
checkstage fails, the expected result is to continue with theloginstage where I get a new token because the existing one is invalid.brunoklein commentedon Sep 28, 2020
Which node and codeceptjs version are you using?
