Feature Request: Global before & after hooks

[ASaiAnudeep]

Having global before & after hooks that will run before & after all the tests/suites will help running tests that requires one/many global setups & one/many global teardowns.

Use Case: Running service level tests with pactum, where I need to start & stop a mock server before & after the test execution.

By the way, thank you for this awesome library. ❤️

Thanks :)

Wouldn't pretest and posttest scripts work for this? Or running uvu programmatically

[ASaiAnudeep]

pretest and posttest doesn't work in my scenario. I need to have shared context between pretest, test and posttest.

Example:

before(() => { /* add reporters*/ });

/*
 suites/tests that uses above added reporters
*/

after(() => { /* end reporter*/ });

Not sure how to achieve this in pretest & posttest scripts.

This would be super useful for setting up/terminating DB connections as well!

I'm having a problem where I want to tear down connections after the last test has run. Since I want to be able to run tests in isolation and with the CLI, a global hook that always runs after the last test is done would work really well here

Maybe something like this?

Only a POC! If it gets implemented properly, it would probably look a little different

uvu.before should run before all suites, uvu.beforeEach should run before each suite uvu.after should run after all suites, uvu.afterEach should run before each suite

Any movement on this feature ?
