import { describe, it, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'mocha'
import * as playwright from 'playwright'

describe('Website', () => {

    let browser: playwright.Browser
    
    beforeAll(async () => {
        // Start a single browser before all the tests,
        // Serenity/JS will open new tabs
        // and manage Playwright browser context as needed  
        browser = await playwright.chromium.launch({
            headless: true
        })

        // Configure Serenity/JS providing your Actors
        // and required "stage crew memebers" (a.k.a. reporting services)
        configure({
            actors: Cast.where(actor => actor.whoCan(
                BrowseTheWebWithPlaywright.using(
                    browser,
                    { baseURL: `https://serenity-js.org` },
                    {
                        defaultNavigationTimeout:   Duration.ofSeconds(2).inMilliseconds(),
                        defaultTimeout:             Duration.ofMilliseconds(750).inMilliseconds(),
                    }
                )
            )),
            crew: [
                [ '@serenity-js/console-reporter', { theme: 'auto' } ],
                [ '@serenity-js/html-reporter', {
                    outputDirectory: './reports/serenity-js',

            Ensure.that(Page.current().title(), startsWith('Serenity/JS')),        
        )
    })

    afterAll(async () => {
