What Happens When You Run npm run test? | Cucumber Hooks, cucumber.js & package.json | Part 6

In this video of the Enterprise Playwright BDD Framework series, we learn how framework execution actually works behind the scenes. We start by understanding Cucumber Hooks and learn how Before and After hooks are used to launch and close the browser automatically. We then create and configure the cucumber.js file, which acts as the central configuration file of the Cucumber framework. Next, we explore package.json scripts and understand how npm run test triggers Cucumber execution. We also discuss how Cucumber discovers feature files, step definitions, and hooks during execution. Topics Covered: ✔ Before Hook and After Hook ✔ Browser Launch and Cleanup ✔ Browser, BrowserContext and Page ✔ cucumber.js Configuration ✔ require, paths and requireModule ✔ ts-node/register ✔ package.json Scripts ✔ npm run test Execution Flow ✔ Enterprise Framework Execution Lifecycle In the next video, we will introduce Custom World, connect all framework components together, and execute our first end-to-end login scenario using Playwright and Cucumber. #playwright #cucumber #typescript #automationtesting #playwrightautomation #bddframework
