Scenario Context

You can set SC (Scenario Context) from any step definition.

step('set scenario context', ()=>{
    SC.someVar = "some value"
})
step('check scenario context', ()=>{
    console.log(SC.someVar) //some value
})

This helps to communicate between the steps. SC reset for each scenario.

Scenario: Make an order from home page
    Given I'm on home page
    #Save order detail in scenario context
    When I add following items in the cart
    | pizza | Farm House  |
    | extra_toppings   | onion,paneer |
    #Validate the cart from the order detail in scenario context
    Then I can see the cart with selected items

Scenario Context can be used to write

• generic steps and avoid writing vague, similar, technical steps.
• steps that can be used for different context, just like polymorphism.
