cypress-json-results

Saves Cypress test results as a JSON file

Read the blog post Cypress JSON Test Results.

Install

$ npm i -D cypress-json-results
# or using Yarn
$ yarn add -D cypress-json-results

Register this plugin from your plugin file

// cypress/plugins/index.js
module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // save all test results as a JSON file
  // https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-json-results
  require('cypress-json-results')({
    on,
    filename: 'results.json', // default filename
  })
}

After the run the JSON file should contain results for all test specs that ran locally and the total counts. See the Cypress Test Statuses blog post for details on the possible test status values.

{
  "cypress/integration/spec.js": {
    "works": "passed",
    "is pending": "pending"
  },
  "totals": {
    "suites": 0,
    "tests": 2,
    "failed": 0,
    "passed": 1,
    "pending": 1,
    "skipped": 0
  }
}

Options

filename

By default, this plugin saves the JSON result into "results.json" file. You can change the output filename using the filename option

// https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-json-results
require('cypress-json-results')({
  on,
  filename: 'output.json',
})

Note: the plugin assumes the output folder already exists

You can disable writing a file by using the option filename: false.

updateMarkdownFile

You can automatically update a Markdown table inside the given file with the test counts. See the section below Cypress test counts for an example. The table should be surrounded with HTML comments

<!-- cypress-test-counts -->
Test status | Count
---|---
Passed | 6
Failed | 0
Pending | 1
Skipped | 0
**Total** | 7
<!-- cypress-test-counts-end -->

Tip: prevent the Prettier from messing with the formatting by surrounding the table with ignore comments, see How to configure Prettier and VSCode.

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
<!-- cypress-test-counts -->
  ... table text ...
<!-- cypress-test-counts-end -->
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

githubActionsSummary

If you are running the tests using GitHub Actions, you can output a summary table.

require('cypress-json-results')({
  on,
  filename: false, // do not write JSON file
  githubActionsSummary: 'spec',
})

Value githubActionsSummary: 'spec' writes a single row per spec file.

Value githubActionsSummary: 'test' writes a single row per test.

Cypress test counts

This repo has the following test numbers:

Test status | Count ---|--- Passed | 3 Failed | 0 Pending | 1 Skipped | 0 Total | 4

The table above is automatically updated nightly, see the GitHub Actions workflow
