cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter

This is a cypress reporter that produces JUnit style XML test results and allows to split the same test in different test cases by jira id, this improves performance and avoids reloading the page in each test if we want to group different tests in the same test case.

Installation

 pnpm install cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter --save-dev

 npm install cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter --save-dev

Usage

Run mocha with cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter:

 mocha test --reporter cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter

This will output a results file at ./results.xml. You may optionally declare an alternate location for results XML file by setting the environment variable MOCHA_FILE or specifying mochaFile in reporterOptions:

 MOCHA_FILE=./path_to_your/file.xml mocha test --reporter cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter

or

 mocha test --reporter cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter --reporter-options mochaFile=./path_to_your/file.xml

or

const mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: 'cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        mochaFile: './path_to_your/file-results.xml'
    }
});

Split the same test case by id of jira

You can add jira keys in the testConfig options of a test case to split the same test into different test cases. These keys should be provided in an array of objects, e.g:

  it(
    "testcase",
    {
      jiraIds: [
        { id: "JIRA.KEY.1" },
        { id: "JIRA.KEY.2" },
        { id: "JIRA.KEY.3" },
      ],
    },
    () => {
      expect(2).to.be.greaterThan(1);
    }
  );

This is useful if you want to test different tests on the same test in Cypress without affecting performance. If you want to provide a different title to the test case you can add the testTitle property to each of the keys in the test case.

[!IMPORTANT] If the testTitle property is not provided, the title will be the title of the test case.

If the test case it's this:

describe("test", () => {
  it(
    "testcase",
    {
      jiraIds: [
        { id: "JIRA.KEY.1", testTitle: "should display test 1" },
        { id: "JIRA.KEY.2", testTitle: "should display test 2" },
        { id: "JIRA.KEY.3" },
      ],
    },
    () => {
      expect(2).to.be.greaterThan(1);
    }
  );
});

the result it's this:

<testsuites>
  <testsuite>
    <testcase name="should display test 1 JIRA.KEY.1" time="0.034" classname="should display test 1 JIRA.KEY.1">
    </testcase>
    <testcase name="should display test 2 JIRA.KEY.2" time="0.034" classname="should display test 2 JIRA.KEY.2">
    </testcase>
    <testcase name="test testcase JIRA.KEY.3" time="0.034" classname="testcase JIRA.KEY.3">
    </testcase>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Append properties to testsuite

You can also add properties to the report under testsuite. This is useful if you want your CI environment to add extra build props to the report for analytics purposes

<testsuites>
  <testsuite>
    <properties>
      <property name="PROPERTY_ID" value="12345"/>
    </properties>
    <testcase/>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

To do so pass them in via env variable:

PROPERTIES=PROPERTY_ID:12345 mocha test --reporter cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter

or

const mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: 'cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        properties: {
            PROPERTY_ID: 12345
        }
    }
})

Results Report

Results XML filename can contain [hash], e.g. ./path_to_your/results.[hash].xml. [hash] is replaced by MD5 hash of test results XML. This enables support of parallel execution of multiple cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter's writing test results in separate files. In addition to this these placeholders can also be used:

| placeholder | output | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | [testSuitesTitle] | will be replaced by the testSuitesTitle setting | | [rootSuiteTitle] | will be replaced by the rootSuiteTitle setting | | [suiteFilename] | will be replaced by the filename of the spec file | | [suiteName] | will be replaced by the name the first test suite |

In order to display full suite title (including parents) just specify testSuitesTitle option

const mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: 'cypress-junit-xml-mocha-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        testSuitesTitle: true,
    }
});

You can also configure the testsuites.name attribute by setting reporterOptions.testSuitesTitle and the root suite's name attribute by setting reporterOptions.rootSuiteTitle.

Configuration options

| Parameter | Default | Effect | | ------------------------------ | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | mochaFile | results.xml | Configures the file to write reports to | | properties | null | A hash of additional properties to add to each test suite | | rootSuiteTitle | Root Suite | The name for the root suite. (defaults to 'Root Suite') | | testSuitesTitle | Mocha Tests | The name for the testsuites tag (defaults to 'Mocha Tests') |

Debug mode

If you need see the log when it's executed you can provide the DEBUG envionment variable.

DEBUG=true
