Basic usage

Install the required packages using your favorite package manager:

# using npm
npm install --save-dev allure-js-commons allure-cucumberjs
# using yarn
yarn add -D allure-js-commons allure-cucumberjs
# using pnpm
pnpm add -D allure-js-commons allure-cucumberjs

Create the reporter file:

// reporter.js
import { AllureRuntime } from "allure-js-commons";
import { CucumberJSAllureFormatter } from "allure-cucumberjs";

export default class extends CucumberJSAllureFormatter {
  constructor(options) {
    super(options, new AllureRuntime({ resultsDir: "./allure-results" }), {
      labels: [
        {
          pattern: [/@feature:(.*)/],
          name: "epic",
        },
        {
          pattern: [/@severity:(.*)/],
          name: "severity",
        },
      ],
      links: [
        {
          pattern: [/@issue=(.*)/],
          type: "issue",
          urlTemplate: "http://localhost:8080/issue/%s",
        },
        {
          pattern: [/@tms=(.*)/],
          type: "tms",
          urlTemplate: "http://localhost:8080/tms/%s",
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

Then let know cucumber-js about the reporter via CLI parameter:

cucumber-js --format ./path/to/reporter.js

Or via configuration file:

// config.js
module.exports = {
  default: {
    format: "./path/to/reporter.js",
  },
};

And then run CLI with config parameter:

cucumber-js --config ./config.js

If you want to retain default formatter add some dummy file as output:

cucumber-js --format ./path/to/reporter.js:./dummy.txt

Using Allure API

You're able to call Allure API methods injected to the World object by the reporter. By default, the feature is available out of the box for single thread mode.

Example:

import { Given } from "@cucumber/cucumber";

Given(/my step/, async function () {
  await this.step("step can have anonymous body function", async function () {
    await this.label("label_name", "label_value");
    await this.attach(JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar " }), "application/json");
  });

  await this.step("by the way, body function can be arrow one", async (step) => {
    await step.label("label_name", "label_value");
    await step.attach(JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar " }), "application/json");
  });
});

If you want to keep the functoinality in parallel mode, set CucumberAllureWorld as world constructor:

- import { Given } from "@cucumber/cucumber"
+ import { Given, setWorldConstructor } from "@cucumber/cucumber"
+ import { CucumberAllureWorld } from "allure-cucumberjs"

+ setWorldConstructor(CucumberAllureWorld)

Given(/my step/, async function () {
  await this.step("step can have anonymous body function", async function () {
    await this.label("label_name", "label_value")
    await this.attach(JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar "}), "application/json")
  })

  await this.step("by the way, body function can be arrow one", async (step) => {
    await step.label("label_name", "label_value")
    await step.attach(JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar "}), "application/json")
  })
})

Follow the same approach when you need to use your own World implementation. Just extend it from CucumberAllureWorld:

- import { Given } from "@cucumber/cucumber"
+ import { Given, setWorldConstructor } from "@cucumber/cucumber"
+ import { CucumberAllureWorld } from "allure-cucumberjs"

+ class MyWorld extends CucumberAllureWorld {
+   hello() {
+     console.log('say hello!')
+   }
+ }

+ setWorldConstructor(MyWorld)

Given(/my step/, async function () {
+  this.hello()

  await this.step("step can have anonymous body function", async function () {
    await this.label("label_name", "label_value")
    await this.attach(JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar "}), "application/json")
  })

  await this.step("by the way, body function can be arrow one", async (step) => {
    await step.label("label_name", "label_value")
    await step.attach(JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar "}), "application/json")
  })
})

TypeScript

To properly type your cucumber tests you need to declare CustomWorld type and use it.

import { Given } from "@cucumber/cucumber";
import { CucumberAllureWorld } from "allure-cucumberjs";

if (process.env.PARALLEL) {
  setWorldConstructor(CucumberAllureWorld);
}

type CustomWorld = {
  someCustomOptions: string;
} & CucumberAllureWorld;

Given("A cat fact is recieved", async function (this: CustomWorld) {
  await this.step("example name", async () => {
    await this.label("test label", "value");
  });
});

Parameters usage

import { Given } from "@cucumber/cucumber";

Given(/my step/, async function () {
  await this.step("step can have anonymous body function", async function () {
    await this.parameter("parameterName", "parameterValue");
  });
});

Also addParameter takes an third optional parameter with the hidden and excluded options:

mode: "hidden" | "masked" - masked hide parameter value to secure sensitive data, and hidden entirely hide parameter from report

excluded: true - excludes parameter from the history

import { Given } from "@cucumber/cucumber";

Given(/my step/, async function () {
  await this.step("step can have anonymous body function", async function () {
    await this.parameter("parameterName", "parameterValue", { mode: "hidden", excluded: true });
  });
});

Cross-browser testing

For cross-browser testing simply add a parameter using Allure API with the browser name to the World instance inside your scenario, i.e.:

await this.parameter('Browser', 'firefox')

For better presentation, you can also group suites by browser names, i.e.:

await this.parentSuite('Firefox')
