hooks

[rebajz]

1. I add hook to file codecept.conf.js as:
   exports.config = {
   hooks: ['./someHook.ts'],

2. from https://codecept.io/hooks/#custom-hooks I copy your example

const event = require('codeceptjs').event;

module.exports = function() {

event.dispatcher.on(event.test.before, function (test) {

console.log('--- I am before test --');

});
}

to new file ./someHook.ts

after run codeceptjs i see this:

PS C:_git\sandbox> npm run run:tests

typescript-boilerplate@1.0.0 run:tests
codeceptjs run

As a workaround, we got the hooks to work by importing the modules explicitly, as the hooks array are expecting functions not module references.

i.e. in your codecept.js config file:

const myHook = require('pathToMyHook/myHook.js');
.....
exports.config = {
   ....
   hooks: [myHook],
}

Confirmed with CodeceptJS 3.3.0 when setting #661 (comment)
@MumblesNZ thanks for workaround.
