Tape: Initiate async task before test

[mustafamamun]

How can I complete some async task before starting test

test('setup', function (t) {
  //complete some async task here then do the test. In my case test are getting executed before the async task is done.
});
test('GET /hello', function (t) {
  request(app)
    .get('/hello')
    .query({name:'asfd'})
    .expect(200)
    .expect('Content-Type', /json/)
    .end(function (err, res) {
      t.end();
    });
});

Use t.plan()

Is there anything like before in mocha?

@mustafamamun no, there's definitely not, but since it's just JS, you can do this:

test('blah', function (t) {
  t.plan(1);
  someAsyncBeforeLogic(function () {
    somethingAsync(function (error, result) {
      if (error) {
        t.fail(error);
      } else {
        t.ok(result);
      }
    });
  });
});
