Add custom tasks

[louis-md]

Hi,

I am looking to set up custom tasks to execute server-side functions before my tests (such as reset and seed database). I tried adding custom plugins as suggested in #346 but it only concerns Cypress.Commands, not tasks.

To set custom tasks, one should set a plugins.js with

on('task', {
 customTask1: () => {},
 customTask2: () => {},
 ...
})

however, the function on('task', ...) is already called inside @synthetixio/synpress/plugins/index.js, and calling it again in plugins.js does not seem to change anything.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

For those having the same issue, I found a workaround by using patch-package, and include the missing tasks I need directly in @synthetixio/synpress/plugins/index.js file. It's not great, so any more elegant solution will be welcome.
