The test runner supports the following lifecycle hooks. This is useful for loading test fixtures, mocking data, and configuring the test environment.
| Hook | Description |
| ------------ | --------------------------- |
| `beforeAll` | Runs once before all tests. |
| `beforeEach` | Runs before each test. |
| `afterEach` | Runs after each test. |
| `afterAll` | Runs once after all tests. |
Perform per-test setup and teardown logic with `beforeEach` and `afterEach`.
```ts
import { expect, test } from "bun:test";
beforeEach(() => {
console.log("running test.");
});
afterEach(() => {
console.log("done with test.");
});
// tests...
```
Perform per-scope setup and teardown logic with `beforeAll` and `afterAll`. The _scope_ is determined by where the hook is defined.
To scope the hooks to a particular `describe` block:
```ts
import { describe, beforeAll } from "bun:test";
describe("test group", () => {
beforeAll(() => {
// setup
});
// tests...
});
```
To scope the hooks to a test file:
```ts
import { describe, beforeAll } from "bun:test";
describe("test group", () => {
beforeAll(() => {
// setup
});
// tests...
});
```
To scope the hooks to an entire multi-file test run, define the hooks in a separate file.
```ts#setup.ts
import { beforeAll, afterAll } from "bun:test";
beforeAll(() => {
// global setup
});
afterAll(() => {
// global teardown
});
```
Then use `--preload` to run the setup script before any test files.
```ts
bun test --preload ./setup.ts
```
To avoid typing `--preload` every time you run tests, it can be added to your `bunfig.toml`:
```toml
[test]
preload = ["./setup.ts"]
```
