Is it possible to run same testcafe fixture with different preconditions

Could somebody help with finding the most adequate way to run the same fixture with different preconditions using testcafe (fixture beforeEach)?

Given I have following fixture:

  fixture('[Test] My Page')
  .meta({ env: 'aat', mobile: 'true', author: 'me' })
  .beforeEach(async t => {
    await t.navigateTo(myPage.url)
    await waitForReact(10000)
  })

test('Page should load all data successfully', async t => {
  const { Query: queries } = await t.ctx.graphQLTools.mockManagementClient.getCalls()
  for (const q of Object.keys(queries)) {
    for (const { args, context } of Object.keys(queries[q])) {
      await t.expect(queries[q][args]).typeOf('undefined')
      await t.expect(queries[q][context]).typeOf('undefined')
    }
  }
})

In the code example above I need to run this test for several times:

  1. I'm an anonymous user
  2. I'm the admin user
  3. I'm a default user

I've tried the following code, but it looks cumbersome and will create complexity when I have more than 1 test in the fixture that needs to be checked(taken from https://testcafe-discuss.devexpress.com/t/multiple-execution-of-one-test-with-different-data/219): 

const a = ['anonymous', 'logged In']
for (const user of a) {
  test.meta({ wip: 'true' })(`Page should load all data successfully for ${user} user`, async t => {
    if (R.equals('logged In', user)) {
      await helpers.setCookie({ key: 'access_token', value: '123123123' })
      await helpers.reloadPage()
    }

    const { Query: queries } = await t.ctx.graphQLTools.mockManagementClient.getCalls()

    await t.expect(helpers.isEqlToEmptyQuery(queries.basket)).eql(true)
    await t.expect(helpers.isEqlToEmptyQuery(queries.categories)).eql(true)

    if (R.equals('logged In', user)) {
      await t.expect(helpers.isEqlToEmptyQuery(queries.customer)).eql(true)
    }
  })
}

Is there a way I can run the whole fixture for 2-3 times with different beforeEach fixture hooks?

One simple solution could be to add three npm scripts in package.json:

"test": "testcafe chrome <all testcafe options>"
"test-anonymous": "npm test -- --user=anonymous"
"test-admin": "npm test -- --user=admin"
"test-default": "npm test -- --user=default"

Then read this custom command-line option in the beforeEach as I explained in Testcafe - Test command line argument outside test case
