How to signal test failure using browser.end()?

See original GitHub issue

Hey there,

I would love to see support for this. Sometimes, I want to prematurely end a test and output a FAIL signature to Jenkins. For example:

exports.command = function(callback) {
    'use strict';
    var jsdom = require('jsdom');
    var self = this;
    var url = this.globals.urls.dropWizard;

    jsdom.env({
        html: '<html><body></body></html>',
        scripts: ['https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js'],
        done: function pageCreated(err, window) {
            let $ = window.jQuery;

            $.ajax({
                url: url,
                method: 'GET',
                beforeSend: function (request, settings) {
                    console.log('Request URL: %s', settings.url);
                },
                success: function (response) {
                    if (typeof callback === 'function') {
                        callback.call(self, response);
                    }
                },
                error: function (jqXHR) {
                    console.log('ERROR! \n%s', JSON.stringify(jqXHR));
                    self.end(); // SIGNAL FAIL HERE
                }
            });
        }
    });

    // allows command to be chained
    return this;
};

For anyone else as confused as I was about where the assert.fail is being defined… Nightwatch extends the Node.JS assert module. see http://nightwatchjs.org/api/#assertions

This can also be achieved using something like:

'Demo test Google' : function (client) {
    client
      .url('http://google.com', function(result) {
        // second empty string argument is the expected value
        client.assert.fail(JSON.stringify(errorResponse), '', 'More details about the error');
      })
    ...
};

I’m closing this since for now I think this solves the problem.
