will this work in before hooks and in custom commands? #51

I'm trying to detect if I'm logged in and if so, log out in a before hook. I put it in my custom login command. It's failing when it can't find an element (which I would think would just continue to the then())

I don't think I have enough information to answer this question

can I use cypress-if in my before hook to check if i'm logged in, and if so, log myself out?

bahmutov commented 2 years ago

before hook runs only once before all tests. You probably want to run it in beforeEach hook

Yes, sorry. But that scenario is perfectly fine, right? When I was trying before it was failing to find the element and then doing my .then(), which was confusing me. I will check again.
