Random Data Steps

Beginners: start with Template Steps if you still need the authoring context first. This page is the exact random-data reference.

Source: src/tests/steps/actions/random_data.step.ts.

See shared placeholder rules in Step Parameter Conventions.

Prefer installing published steps with npx appraisejs@latest add step ... instead of adding the package to your project with npm install.

Use this when

Use random-data steps when the scenario needs throwaway values without hard-coding test data in the case itself.

All random-data steps share one parameter:

Parameter	Represents	Expected data
{string}	Variable key to store generated value	New/existing variable name (for example generatedEmail).

Common failures

• Generated values are available to later steps through stored-variable access.
• Missing or invalid variable key usage can cause downstream step failures.
