Writing XML report compatible with XRAY & JIRA

Enhances your Cypress test suite with the cypress-xray-junit-reporter a specialized custom reporter designed to seamlessly generating comprehensive XRay-compatible JUnit-style XML reports, complete with embedded screenshots on test failures, facilitating a thorough analysis of test execution.
This tailor-made reporter not only aligns with the best practices outlined in XRAY's guide on "Taking advantage of JUnit XML reports" but also leverages Cypress's "Custom reporter" capabilities.

XML cypress custom reporter based on Mocha to be compatible with:

This plugin will also add support for two new cypress features:

deleteVideoOnPassed (delete the videos of passed specs)
betterRetries (logs cypress errors on retries)

See here for more information

Video reporter execution

Identified Issue

Cypress presently lacks support for transmitting variables to the reporter when using the Electron browser.
This results in the impaired functionality of the "attachScreenshot" feature within this specific context. It is highly recommended to utilize alternative browsers for an optimal experience.

Install

$ npm install cypress-xray-junit-reporter --save-dev

or as a global module

$ npm install -g cypress-xray-junit-reporter

XRAY Mode

With this custom report will be easy for you to connect your tests with your JIRA test issue, creating test execution report compatible with XRAY.

1. Naming the output file

By default if a file test-report.xml already exists it will be overwritten.
The use of placeholders enables support of parallel execution of multiple test,cypress-xray-junit-reporter will write test results in separate files.
The mochaFile option can contain placeholders, e.g. ./path_to_your/test-results.[hash].xml.
In addition to [hash], these 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, auto remove .cy.js from the file name | | [suiteName] | will be replaced by the name the first test suite | | [hash] | will be replaced by MD5 hash of test results XML. |

2. Cypress configuration

2.1 Inside `cypress.config.js`

This example shows how to install the plugin for e2e testing type. Read Cypress configuration docs for further info.

const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')
module.exports = defineConfig({
	deleteVideoOnPassed: true,
	betterRetries: true,
	reporter: 'cypress-xray-junit-reporter',
	reporterOptions: {
		mochaFile: './report/[suiteName].xml',
		useFullSuiteTitle: false,
		jenkinsMode: true,
		xrayMode: true, // if JiraKey are set correctly inside the test the XML report will contain the JiraKey value
		attachScreenshot: true, // if a test fails, the screenshot will be attached to the XML report and imported into xray
	},
	e2e: {
		setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
			require('cypress-xray-junit-reporter/plugin')(on, config, {}) // also needed
			return config
		},
	},
})

2.2 Inside `cypress/support/e2e.js`

At the top of your support file (usually cypress/support/e2e.js for e2e testing type):

import 'cypress-xray-junit-reporter/support'

3. Setting up your jiraKeys

cypress/e2e/myFirstTest.cy.js

describe('My First Test', () => {
	it('Does not do much!', { jiraKey: 'CALC-1234' }, () => {
		expect(true).to.equal(true)
	})
})

4. Run the test

npx cypress run

5. Enjoy the generated test-execution report

Report file generated at '<Cypress_project_root>/cypress/results'.

my-test-output-828a1c4885dc687b1a19e11e24b9437e.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites name="Mocha Tests" time="0.1070" tests="1" failures="0">
  <testsuite name="Root Suite" timestamp="2023-01-27T13:51:23" tests="0" file="cypress\e2e\test.cy.js" time="0.0000" failures="0">
  </testsuite>
  <testsuite name="My First Test" timestamp="2023-01-27T13:51:23" tests="1" time="0.0700" failures="0">
    <testcase name="My First Test Does not do much!" time="0.0820" classname="Does not do much!">
      <properties>
        <property name="test_key" value="CALC-1234"/>
      </properties>
    </testcase>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

As you can see the property has been added and now could be read correctly by XRAY.

<properties>
  <property name="test_key" value="CALC-1234"/>
</properties>

Now just upload the report to XRAY and the card in Jira will be updated automatically

Other Options

Attach screenshot on failure

If you want to attach the screenshot of the failed testCase into the XML, you can use the attachScreenshot reporter option. The screenshot will be automatically converted into base64 and attached to the XML report.

<property name="testrun_evidence">
    <item name="image1.png">base64Here</item>
</property>

The testRun will include the screenshot as following:

testRunEvidence

Switch classname and name

If you want to switch classname and name of the generated testCase XML entries, you can use the testCaseSwitchClassnameAndName reporter option.

Here is an example of the XML output when using the testCaseSwitchClassnameAndName option:

| value | XML output | | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | false (default) | <testcase name="Super Suite should behave like so" classname="should behave like so"> | | true | <testcase name="should behave like so" classname="Super Suite should behave like so"> |

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

Main reporterOptions list

| Configuration Option | Default Value | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | mochaFile | test-results.xml | Specifies the file name for the report, compatible with placeholders (see the next section). | | xrayMode | true | When enabled, includes the jiraKey property in the XML report in XRAY format. | | attachScreenshot | false | When enabled, embeds test failure screenshots in the XML report in XRAY format. | | shortenLogMode | false | When enabled, condenses logs to essential information only. |

Extra reporterOptions list (Advanced options)

| Configuration Option | Default Value | Description | | -------------------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | testCaseSwitchClassnameAndName | false | When enabled, switches the order of name and classname values. | | testsuitesTitle | "Mocha Tests" | Customizes the name for the XML testsuites tag, serving as a placeholder for mochaFile names. | | rootSuiteTitle | "Root Suite" | Customizes the name for the XML rootsuites tag, serving as a placeholder for mochaFile names. | | useFullSuiteTitle | false | If true, displays nested suite titles with the entire suite lineage. | | outputs | false | If true, includes console output and console error output in the XML report. | | toConsole | false | If true, logs the produced XML to the console. | | jenkinsMode | false | When enabled, generates XML for improved display in Jenkins. | | jenkinsClassnamePrefix | undefined | Adds a prefix to a classname when running in jenkinsMode. | | suiteTitleSeparatedBy | (space) | Specifies the character used to separate nested suite titles (defaults to ' ', '.' in Jenkins mode). |

In some cases you need to know the error on each attempt because it can change.
Before betterRetries:
