cypress-allure-adapter

This is allure adapter for Cypress providing realtime results. It is useful when using Allure TestOps - so you can watch tests execution. It adds tests, steps, suites and screenshots during tests execution.

In the same time you can generate Allure Report from these results and it will have all necessary fields.

Some settings were taken from @shelex/cypress-allure-plugin

Installation

Install adapter by npm i -D @mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter

1. Update support

Import @mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter/support into your support/index.ts file (or e2e.ts file)

   import '@mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter/support';
   // import other custom ommands here

If you want all custom commands to be wrapped in report import adapter before adding(importing) any custom commands

Alternative way

Add allureAdapterSetup(); in your support/index.ts file (or e2e.ts file)

import { allureAdapterSetup } from '@mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter';

allureAdapterSetup();

If you want all custom commands to be correctly wrapped in report register adapter before adding custom commands:

  import { allureAdapterSetup } from '@mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter';
  
  allureAdapterSetup();
  // register custom commands here

2. Update plugins (setupNodeEvents)

Add configureAllureAdapterPlugins(on, config); into your plugins file:

// cypress.config.ts
import { configureAllureAdapterPlugins } from '@mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter/plugins';

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      configureAllureAdapterPlugins(on, config);
      
      return config;
    },
    // ...
  }
});

3. Update environment variables

In cypress.config.ts or in your environment files set allure env var to true.

See other environment variables

4. Types

No need to setup types - should be done automatically

That's it! :tada:

Environment variables

Variable	Description
allure type: boolean default: false	Enables reporting
allureResults type: string default: allure-results	Path to allure results folder (where json files will be written)
allureResultsWatchPath type: string default: allure-results	This is needed when using Allure TestOps: path to folder where results will be moved after all tests from spec are executed. This path is what you need to watch when using Allure TestOps, but default this is not specified. When you use this path test results will start to appear in Allure TestOps only after spec is finished. If do not use this with Allure TestOps some videos may not be uploaded - videos will be uploaded only for 1 test from spec file.
allureLogCyCommands type: boolean default: true	log cypress commands, by default will log all
allureSkipCommands type: string ex.: screenshot,wait	Commands separated with comma Will not log specified commands as steps in allure report, by default logs all commands
allureWrapCustomCommands type: true/false/string default: true ex: - allureWrapCustomCommands: 'true' - allureWrapCustomCommands:'qaId,login' - allureWrapCustomCommands:'!qaValue'	will wrap custom commands, so custom command will have child steps in report When value has string with commands split by comma will wrap only these commands. To exclude commands specify them starting with ! - all commands specified in this variable should have either ! or not have it For this to work you should register allure plugin in setup files before any new commands are added.
allureCleanResults type: boolean default: false	Will remove allure results on cypress start (it will be done once, after plugins are loaded)
allureAttachRequests type: boolean default: false	Attach request/response body and status as files to request step Several requests: One request:
allureCompactAttachments type: boolean default: true	Stringify requests attachments with spaces or not
allureAddVideoOnPass type: boolean default: false	When true - will attach video for all tests (including passed), otherwise will attach videos only for failed, broken, unknown
tmsPrefix type: string ex: http://jira.com or http://jira.com/PROJECT-1/*/browse	You can specify prefix to tms using this. It will be concatenated with value when using cypress interface like cy.allure().tms('PROJ-01'). Also link can be specified with * - it will be replaced with id. Difference between tms and issue - will have different icons:
issuePrefix type: string ex: http://jira.com or http://jira.com/PROJECT-1/*/browse	The same as tmsPrefix - for issue cy.allure().issue('PROJ-02')
allureShowDuplicateWarn type: boolean default: false	Show console warnings about test duplicates.

tmsPrefix and issuePrefix

tmsPrefix and issuePrefix - you can specify prefix to tms using this. Also link can be specified with * - it will be replced with id.

   // cypress.config.ts 
   env: {
     tmsPrefix: 'http://jira.com' 
     issuePrefix: 'http://jira.com/PROJECT-1/*/browse' 
   }  

    // test.spec.ts
    cy.allure().tms('ABC-1'); // http://jira.com/ABC-1
    cy.allure().issue('ABC-2'); // http://jira.com/PROJECT-1/ABC-2/browse

To see report

In order to see Allure Report you need to install the CLI.

For nodejs you can use allure-commandline:

npm i -D allure-commandline

After installed allure command will be available. To see a report in browser, run in console

allure serve

If you want to generate html version, run in console

allure generate

Allure Interface

There is allure interface available to use from tests - cy.allure() and Cypress.Allure.

For details see interface

Advanced

after:spec event

If you use Cypress action after:spec in plugins you can use the following configuration to have video attached to tests:

// cypress.config.ts
import { configureAllureAdapterPlugins } from '@mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter/plugins';

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      const reporter = configureAllureAdapterPlugins(on, config);
      
      on('after:spec', async (spec, results) => {
        // your code in after spec
        await reporter.afterSpec({ results });
      })
      
      return config;
    },
    // ...
  }
});

Before run

Some operations like writing environment information, execution info or categories definitions should be done once for a run.

To do that you need to modify your setupNodeEvents function:

  // cypress.config.ts
  import { configureAllureAdapterPlugins } from '@mmisty/cypress-allure-adapter/plugins';
  
  export default defineConfig({
    e2e: {
      setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
         const reporter = configureAllureAdapterPlugins(on, config);
         
         // after that you can use allure to make operations on cypress start,
         // or on before run start
         on('before:run', details => {
            reporter?.writeEnvironmentInfo({
               info: {
                  os: details.system.osName,
                  osVersion: details.system.osVersion,
               },
            });
         });
         
        return config;
      },
      // ...
    }
  });

Start/End test events

If you need to add labels, tags or other meta info for tests you can use the following additional events for Cypress.Allure interface:

• test:started is fired after tests started but before all "before each" hooks
• test:ended is fired after all "after each" hooks

Cypress.Allure.on('test:started', test => {
    Cypress.Allure.label('tag', 'started');
  });

And also if you need to do something with test before it ends:

Cypress.Allure.on('test:ended', test => {
    Cypress.Allure.label('tag', 'ended');
    Cypress.Allure.step('before end step');
  });

You can put this into your support/index.ts file.

Troubleshooting

To see debug log run cypress with DEBUG env variable like: DEBUG=cypress-allure* npm run cy:open
