Getting error - Detox worker instance has not been installed in this context (DetoxSecondaryContext) while running detox with updated globalSetup

[jyotsna-hh]

What happened?

I have created a envSetup.ts file with following content -

import { device } from "detox";
module.exports = async () => {
  await require("detox/runners/jest/index").globalSetup();
  await device.launchApp();
};

And updated the jest.config.js file with-
globalSetup: "<rootDir>/e2e/envSetup.ts"

Then I have executed the test -
detox test -c android.emu.release -l verbose

Got the error -

12:01:32.379 detox[18527] i ws-server Detox server listening on localhost:56172...
12:01:32.385 detox[18527] B lifecycle jest --config e2e/jest.config.js

HINT: If you are using Detox with Jest according to the latest guide, please report this issue on our GitHub tracker:
https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues
Otherwise, make sure you call detox.installWorker() beforehand.

What was the expected behaviour?

This should launch app

[noomorph]

Detox doesn't support creating devices in globalSetup. Please use the official setup guide on the website: https://wix.github.io/Detox

[jyotsna-hh]

@noomorph Can we create devices globally in detox ?

[noomorph]

What do you mean, @jyotsna-hh ?

[jyotsna-hh]

Right now I'm using await device.launchApp(); command in each script instead I wanted to run it once for all my test scripts. @noomorph

[noomorph]

You should use beforeAll() hook in a file under setupFilesAfterEnv. Please refer to Jest documentation
