# Configuration
# TestCafé
# CLI
When using TestCafé via the command line, the reporter can be specified by using the --reporter
option.
testcafe chrome 'path/to/test/file.js' --reporter allure --screenshots path=allure/screenshots,takeOnFails=true`
# API
When using TestCafé via the API, the reporter can be specified by either passing the reporter name or the reporter object in the reporter()
method within the runner.js
file.
testCafe
.createRunner()
.src(['tests/e2e/*.ts'])
.browsers('firefox')
.reporter('allure')
.run();
or
const allureReporter = require('testcafe-reporter-allure');
testCafe
.createRunner()
.src(['tests/e2e/*.ts'])
.browsers('firefox')
.reporter(allureReporter)
.run();
# Allure
testcafe-reporter-allure
provides a sensible default for the configuration. However, if a different configuration is needed, this default can be overridden by creating the file allure.config.js
and/or allure-categories.config.js
in the root of your project. The allure.config.js
is for the base configuration options, and the allure-categories.config.js
is specifically for editing the categories (opens new window) config used by the Allure Commandline to sort the tests based on pattern matching.
An example allure.config.js
:
module.exports = {
RESULT_DIR: './allure/allure-results',
REPORT_DIR: './allure/allure-report',
SCREENSHOT_DIR: './allure/screenshots',
CLEAN_RESULT_DIR: true,
CLEAN_REPORT_DIR: true,
CLEAN_SCREENSHOT_DIR: true,
ENABLE_SCREENSHOTS: true,
ENABLE_QUARANTINE: false,
ENABLE_LOGGING: false,
CONCURRENCY: 1,
META: {
SEVERITY: 'Normal',
ISSUE_URL: 'https://jira.example.nl/browse/',
},
LABEL: {
ISSUE: 'JIRA Issue',
FLAKY: 'Flaky test',
SCREENSHOT_MANUAL: 'Screenshot taken manually',
SCREENSHOT_ON_FAIL: 'Screenshot taken on fail',
DEFAULT_STEP_NAME: 'Test step',
},
};
An example allure-categories.config.js
:
module.exports = [
{
name: 'Ignored tests',
matchedStatuses: [Status.SKIPPED],
},
{
name: 'Product defects',
matchedStatuses: [Status.FAILED],
messageRegex: '.*Assertion failed.*',
},
{
name: 'Test defects',
matchedStatuses: [Status.FAILED],
},
{
name: 'Warnings',
matchedStatuses: [Status.PASSED],
messageRegex: '.*Warning.*',
},
{
name: 'Flaky tests',
matchedStatuses: [Status.PASSED, Status.FAILED],
messageRegex: '.*Flaky.*',
},
];
# Concurrency and Multi-Browser
The testcafe-allure-reporter supports both TestCafé's concurrency and multi-browser test-run features these can both be set using either the runner.js with the TestCafé API or the TestCafé CLI. Also, the concurrency can be set via the allure.config.js
file, as seen in the previous chapter.
NOTE: Concurrency regards the number of browser instances opened PER browser. For example, if the concurrency is 5, and both Firefox and Chrome are used, TestCafé will open 5 Firefox and 5 Chrome instances.
With the API in the runner.js, multiple browsers can be set by passing them as an array into the .browsers()
function. Concurrency can be set by passing a number into the .concurrency()
function.
const allureReporter = require('testcafe-reporter-allure');
testCafe
.createRunner()
.src(['tests/e2e/*.ts'])
.browsers([firefox:headless, chrome:headless]) // <--
.reporter(allureReporter)
.concurrency(1) // <--
.run();
With the CLI multiple browsers can be added to the testcafe
command separated with a comma without a tag. For example: testcafe chrome,firefox
. Also all local browsers can be run a once by using the all
alias instead of seperate browsers.
The concurrency can be set within the commandline with the -c or --concurrency
tag. For example: testcafe --concurrency 5
.
