AFT-Jasmine-Reporter

a Jasmine CustomReporter integration for AFT providing support for AFT plugins, configuration and helpers

Installation

> npm i aft-jasmine-reporter

Jasmine Configuration

using this CustomReporter requires either calling the jasmine command with the following argument --reporter=aft-jasmine-reporter or from within your test code using the following:

const AftJasmineReporter = require("aft-jasmine-reporter");
...
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(AftJasmineReporter);

AFT Configuration

while no configuration is required, the aft-jasmine-reporter supports all AFT configuration via an aftconfig.json file in the root directory.

AFT Helpers

this package comes with two helper classes that can be utilised from within your Jasmine specs to make use of AFT features.

AftJasmineTest

the AftJasmineTest class extends from the AftTest class in aft-core providing the ability to parse the Spec name for any referenced Test. each Test ID must be surrounded with square brackets [ABC123]. additionally you can then call the AftJasmineTest.shouldRun() async function or use aftJasmineTest(testFunction) which will determine if your test should be run based on any AFT PolicyPlugin instances referenced in your aftconfig.json file. using the AftJasmineTest class would look like the following:

NOTE:

the new AftJasmineTest() command MUST NOT be passed a scope when running with the aft-jasmine-reporter so it can pull in the scope from filesystem cache set by the reporter. you may still pass an AftConfig instance by using the following: new AftJasmineTest(null, new AftConfig())

describe('YourTestSuite', () => {
    it('can check if test [C1234] should be run', async () => {
        await aftJasmineTest(async (v: AftJasmineTest) => { // no `scope` needed
            // calls `pending()` if should not be run which marks test as skipped
            await aft.reporter.step('we should never get here if C1234 should not be run');
            const result = await doStuff();
            await v.verify(result, equaling('stuff'));
        })
    });
});

which would output the following to your console and any AFT ReportingPlugin instances referenced in your aftconfig.json if the test ID should not be run:

17:52:45 - [YourTestSuite can check if test [C1234] should be run] - WARN - none of the supplied tests should be run: [C1234]
17:52:45 - [YourTestSuite can check if test [C1234] should be run] - WARN - test skipped

NOTES

• this Jasmine CustomReporter expects that there is only one instance of Jasmine running from a single location as it writes to a file when each Spec is started so that from within a given Spec the AftJasmineTest class can automatically get the Spec description. this causes a performance degradation since there is a locked filesystem read and write operation associated with each test
