Constructor calling typescript vs java

[jonathangiber]

Hi guys,
Im using gauge in two different projects in the company I work.

One is in java and the new one in typescript.
While java would call and initialize the class of the step being called automatically, I noticed that in typescript this isn't happening and the constructor isn't being called at all.

Am I missing something or should I initialize the step class in every single step?
Thanks

initialize the class of the step being called automatically

Do you mean call the constructor?

@zabil yes

Gauge doesn't rely on the constructor, so in this case it's most probably called only in the java implementation. So using a constructor may not work across language implementations.

I wonder where I should initialize the scenarioStore, I thought creating a BaseStep in which every step class would inherit from it but guess it won't be convenient since no one is calling the step constructor classes.

Is the beforeSuite a good choice to init the scenarioStore then? thanks
