Async suite clean up

[Evan Worley]

Hello,

What is the best way to do some  asynchronous clean up after a test suite is done running? For example, during the run some resources are created and I'd like to delete them when done with the run. I've discovered the casper exit event, but this does not seem to wait for async events to complete.

Thanks,

Evan

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

The tester has a `tests.complete` event triggered when a suite is finished:

casper.test.on('test.complete', function() {
// perform cleanup
});

You could also describe cleanup operations in a js file you pass to
the --post option:

$ casperjs test --post=cleanup.js

Hi Nicholas,

I tried the test.complete handler, but the problem is that my // perform cleanup function is asynchronous and the process does not wait until it's done. Any ideas on how to handle async clean up logic?

Thanks,

Evan

Did you try the --post=post.js trick? you could add a last async test
to perform your cleanup here

I haven't tried it, but will try it today! I assume this runs regardless of if a test earlier in the suite failed? Right now I'm injecting a test named "zzzz_cleanup" to do the cleanup, but it only runs if there were no failures.
