externalTestCompromisedError

Thrown to indicate that the test can't be performed due to an issue with a downstream dependency. For example, it makes no sense to run a full-stack integration test if we already know that the database server is down.

Throwing a TestCompromisedError from a custom Interaction

import { Interaction } from '@serenity-js/core';

const SetUpTestDatabase = () =>
  Interaction.where(`#actor sets up a test database`, actor => {
    return SomeCustomDatabaseSpecificAbility.as(actor).setUpTestDatabase().catch(error => {
      throw new TestCompromisedError('Could not set up the test database', error)
    })
})
