Hook Scripts
The provengo Tool can run shell commands as part of the test execution process. These commands are typically used for setup, teardown, or cleanup. Of course, they can be used for other purposes as well, such as posting messages to Slack channels or automatically boasting about a bug-free version on your social network of choice.
To run a shell command, add the one of the following parameters to the run command, along with the command to execute.
For example: on Windows, the following command will list the files in current directory before the tests start:
provengo run --setup "cmd /c dir" project_pathList of Hook Scripts
