method Deno.TestContext.step
TestContext.step(definition: TestStepDefinition): Promise<boolean>
Run a sub step of the parent test or step. Returns a promise that resolves to a boolean signifying if the step completed successfully. The returned promise never rejects unless the arguments are invalid. If the test was ignored the promise returns `false`. ```ts Deno.test({ name: "a parent test", async fn(t) { console.log("before the step"); await t.step({ name: "step 1", fn(t) { console.log("current step:", t.name); } }); console.log("after the step"); } }); ```

Parameters

definition: TestStepDefinition

Return Type

Promise<boolean>
TestContext.step(
name: string,

): Promise<boolean>
