Expected behaviour:

.setURL of child methods should be executed after .before section of parent test is executed ...

Please add setUrl method to actions

Hello. Did you read our documentation? I propose you familiarize with the information on how gemini tests should be written

Each new suite causes reload of the browser, even if URL was not changed. So yes, child suites executed after .before section, but page is completely refreshed in child suites and you don't have state which was in parent.

That is why I asked to implement "setURL" method in actions. Here is the case: I need to access login page of my SPA and do some actions before access the page with elements to test. For now, I can change location using executeJS action and windows.location property, but this method looks a little bit ugly.
