Regression in 2.3.0 #7482
Description
What is your Scenario?
A regression was introduced in testcafe 2.3.0 which causes the following code to throw an error.
It used to run in older versions of testcafe and does not look faulty.
What is the Current behavior?
Running the test fails with this message:
~/tmp/testcafe-bug » npx testcafe chrome:headless
ERROR Cannot prepare tests due to the following error:
TypeError: _index.test.meta is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/user/tmp/testcafe-bug/tests/test.js:14:6)
Type "testcafe -h" for help.
What is the Expected behavior?
the test runs without issues

What is your TestCafe test code?
// this is working:
//import { Selector } from 'testcafe';
// this works also:
//import { Selector, fixture } from 'testcafe';
// this causes the described error message:
import { Selector, fixture, test } from 'testcafe';
const nameInput = Selector('#developer-name');
fixture `A set of examples that illustrate how to use TestCafe API`
.page `https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;
// Tests
test.meta('dev', 'true')('Text typing basics', async t => {
await t
.typeText(nameInput, 'Peter') // Type name
.typeText(nameInput, 'Paker', { replace: true }) // Replace with last name
.typeText(nameInput, 'r', { caretPos: 2 }) // Correct last name
.expect(nameInput.value).eql('Parker'); // Check result

Steps to Reproduce
- create the testfile with the code above
- run it either with
npx testcafe chromeor whatever - see it fail
if you change to another kind of import in the first few lines it is working. It stops working as soon as test is imported from testcafe package (which makes typehints in your editor possible, that's why we have this somewhat redundant import)

Hi @michael-mader,
I reproduced the issue. As a workaround, you can put
metaafter the test function:We will update this thread once we have news.

yes that works. I've tested it before but it is really tedious to change this for 200+ tests 😞
For now I stick with the old version of testcafe until this is fixed
fix: fixed regression with using tests and fixture methods (#7491)

Release v2.3.1-rc.1 addresses this.
