Cypress objects/variables Aliases cannot be accessed using the this keyword

[jgonzalezalbisu]

After reading this doc https://docs.cypress.io/guides/core-concepts/variables-and-aliases#Sharing-Context I've tried to do this:

describe("tests", () => {
    beforeEach("beforeach", () => {
        cy.visit("https://www.google.com/");
        cy.wrap("one").as("miNumero");
    });

    it("test 1", () => {
        expect(this.miNumero).to.equal("one");
    });
});

And got this:

Same thing for:

describe("pruebas", () => {

    beforeEach("beforeach", () => {
        cy.visit("https://www.google.com/");
        cy.fixture("/somefixture").as("users");
    });

    it("prueba2", () => {
        cy.log(users[0]);
    });
});

I've tried also with passing objects / arrays, same thing of course, but with no success.

Any ideas why this is failing?

In order to use the this keyword, you'll have to use function() {...} callbacks. The docs explain more about it.

describe("tests", () => {
    beforeEach("beforeach", () => {
        cy.visit("https://www.google.com/");
        cy.wrap("one").as("miNumero");
    });

    it("test 1", function() {
        expect(this.miNumero).to.equal("one");
    });
});

Thank you @jjhelguero!
