mocha-emailable

Generates test results in the a single page emailable HTML. Cloned from mochawesome, this is pretty much a clone with the exception of generating a single page HTML report instead of merged json file.

Usage

1. Add to your project:

npm install --save-dev mocha-emailable

2. Tell mocha to use the mocha-emailable reporter:

mocha testfile.js --reporter mocha-emailable

1. If using programatically:

var mocha = new Mocha({
  reporter: 'mocha-emailable',
});

Parallel Mode

Since mocha@8 test files can be run in parallel using the --parallel flag. In order for mocha-emailable to work properly it needs to be registered as a hook.

mocha tests --reporter mocha-emailable --require mocha-emailable/register

The two main files to be aware of are:

result.html - The rendered report file

result.json - The raw json output used to render the report

Custom variable

Custom variable can be included in the result html by creating mocha-emailable.properties file in the project root. Additionally, environment variable can also be used in real time.

// Set environment variable
export BASE_URL=http://www.test.com

// Properties file
NAME=Test
BASE_URL=${BASE_URL}

Options

Options can be passed to the reporter in two ways.

Mocha reporter-options

You can pass comma-separated options to the reporter via mocha's --reporter-options flag. Options passed this way will take precedence over environment variables.

mocha test.js --reporter mocha-emailable --reporter-options reportDir=customReportDir,reportFilename=customReportFilename

Alternately, reporter-options can be passed in programatically:

var mocha = new Mocha({
  reporter: 'mocha-emailable',
  reporterOptions: {
    reportFilename: 'customReportFilename',
    reportDir: './here',
  },
});

addContext(testObj, context)

| param | type | description | | :------ | :------------- | :---------------------------------- | | testObj | object | The test object | | context | string | The context to be added to the test |

Example

Be sure to use ES5 functions and not ES6 arrow functions when using addContext to ensure this references the test object.

import * as addContext from 'mocha-emailable/addContext';

describe('test suite', function () {
  it('should add context', function () {
    // context can be a simple string
    addContext(this, 'simple string');
  });
});
