@flakiness/sdk

Flakiness Node.js SDK

The Flakiness SDK provides a comprehensive set of tools for creating and managing Flakiness JSON Reports in Node.js.

Installation

npm i @flakiness/sdk

Quick Start

Here's a minimal example of creating a Flakiness JSON Report:

import { 
  FlakinessReport,
  GitWorktree, 
  ReportUtils, 
  writeReport, 
  uploadReport,
  CIUtils 
} from '@flakiness/sdk';

// Initialize git worktree and environment
const worktree = GitWorktree.create(process.cwd());
const env = ReportUtils.createEnvironment({ name: 'CI' });

// Create a simple test report
const report: FlakinessReport.Report = {
  category: 'testreport',
  commitId: worktree.headCommitId(),
  url: CIUtils.runUrl(),
  environments: [env],
  suites: [{
    title: 'My Test Suite',
    type: 'describe',
    tests: [{
      title: 'My Test',
      location: { file: 'test.spec.ts', line: 10, column: 1 },
      attempts: [{
        environmentIdx: 0,
        expectedStatus: 'passed',
        actualStatus: 'passed',
        duration: 100 as FlakinessReport.DurationMS,
      }],
    }],
  }],
  startTimestamp: Date.now() as FlakinessReport.UnixTimestampMS,
  duration: 100 as FlakinessReport.DurationMS,
};

// Write report to disk or upload to Flakiness.io
await writeReport(report, [], './flakiness-report');
// Or: await uploadReport(report, [], { flakinessAccessToken: 'your-token' });

Entry Points

The SDK provides two entry points:

@flakiness/sdk

The main entry point for Node.js environments. Provides full access to all SDK functionality including:

• Git repository utilities
• File system operations
• System resource monitoring
• Report upload/download
• Local report viewing

@flakiness/sdk/browser

A browser-compatible entry point with a subset of utilities that work in browser environments. Exports:

• FlakinessReport - Type definitions for the report format
• ReportUtils - Browser-safe utilities (normalizeReport, stripAnsi, visitTests)

Use this entry point when you need to process or manipulate reports in browser-based tools or web applications.

Top-Level Exports

Report Type & Validation

• FlakinessReport - Type definitions and validation for the Flakiness JSON Report format

Building Reports

• CIUtils - Utilities to extract CI/CD information (run URLs, environment detection)
• GitWorktree - Git repository utilities for path conversion and commit information
• ReportUtils - Namespace with utilities for report creation and manipulation:
  • createEnvironment() - Create environment objects with system information
  • normalizeReport() - Deduplicate environments, suites, and tests
  • createTestStepSnippetsInplace() - Generate code snippets for test steps
  • stripAnsi() - Remove ANSI escape codes from strings
