Actions (Reusable Step Groups)

Actions are named groups of steps that can be called from any test. They reduce duplication and make tests easier to maintain.

Defining an Action

Create a YAML file in .devassure/actions/:

# .devassure/actions/login_as_admin.yaml
name: login_as_admin
description: Login to the app as admin using Google
steps:
  - Open admin portal url
  - Click on Google login button
  - Enter admin email and password
  - If MFA is asked, enter the authenticator OTP
  - If allow access is asked, click on allow access

Field	Description
name	Unique identifier used to call the action from a test
description	Short description of what the action does
steps	Ordered list of natural-language steps

Using an Action in a Test

Reference the action by name in your test's steps list:

steps:
  - login_as_admin
  - add_manager_user
  - Open users list page
  - Verify if the manager user is added
