How to use dynamic url's with testcafe fixture/tests

Question

Taking this fixture I would like to set the checkoutId based on the result from the API call in the before fixture hook so I can use it to set the page on my tests

let checkoutId;
fixture`Check out as guest user`
  .page`localhost:3001/checkout/start/${checkoutId}`
  .before(async () => {
      await checkout.getCheckoutId(sampleData.cart)
      .then(id => (checkoutId = id));
});

// and here the rest of my tests based on the page

I tried fixture hooks, sharing variables but I can't get it to work, checkoutId is undefined when requesting the page.

Is this scenario even possible?

While TestCafe does not support dynamic URLs, you can call the t.navigateTo(url) action inside "before" based on your condition.

This answer is now a year old. Has there been any change to this yet? I'm not seeing an option to `page` that passes the context that would allow this to happen. – icfantv Aug 12 '19 at 16:06

You can do in this way:

const TEST_URL = "www.someurl.com"
fixture`jtc-b2c.testcafe`.page(TEST_URL)
