setupBrowser to be initialized in the hooks

[suchitrak]

Where should setupBrowser be invoked. Currently I am using it like below and it works perfectly. `const { When, Then } = require('cucumber'); const debugModule = require('debug'); const { setupBrowser } = require('@testing-library/webdriverio');

const debug = debugModule('box:wdio-utils:step_definitions:interact');

When('I {word} the/a(n) {word} named/called/labelled/labeled {string}', (action, ariaRole, text) => { setupBrowser(browser); browser.findByRole(ariaRole, { name: text })[action](); browser.pause(5000); });`

But with this I would have to invoke setupBrowser(browser); within every stepdefenition. I tried invoking it in the before() hook in webdriverio conf. But that gave an error. Which common place can this be invoked?

What error are you finding? There shouldn't be any problem with calling setupBrowser in the before block, it's working for me if I try to do it in the repo's tests but we aren't using cucumber or anything. It would probably break if the browser is entirely recreated between tests or something? A sessionReload call would still be fine though!

Sorry my bad. It works fine if added to Before hook.

@suchitrak , which version of cucumber and wdio are you using? I'm unsuccessful of getting this to work with latest of @wdio/cucumber-framework.
