Stop a running nightwatch test

[vikramarka]

Hi,

I have a bunch of nightwatch tests that run on saucelabs for hours. I am running nightwatch tests as part of a nodejs service. Now I want to create an end point that would stop the running tests. I just want to know if I call the stopWebDriver(), will it call the after hook of the nightwatch? Basically, I am using the results object in after hook to save the JSON report so I want to have the report when I stop the nightwatch test. Is it possible to achieve that?

Thanks

Thanks. But I can run this inside a test only right? I am checking if there is a function in nightwatch runner object that stops a running tests and calls after hook.

can you please provide an example use case of what are you looking for exactly. You want to externalize the 'end' call from your test is it ?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The usecase is, I want to run the nightwatch tests as part of a NodeJS API. So I have an API endpoint something like start-test/ which download the test case files from external server and starts test.
I want to provide an API endpoint to stop a running test like stop-test/ This is the reason I want to know how can I stop a test using nightwatch CLIRunner instance.

Thanks
