What are allure-js-commons's main functionalities?
Creating Test Suites
This feature allows you to create and manage test suites. The code sample demonstrates how to start and end a test suite using the AllureRuntime and InMemoryAllureWriter.
const { AllureRuntime, InMemoryAllureWriter } = require('allure-js-commons');
const runtime = new AllureRuntime({ writer: new InMemoryAllureWriter() });
const suite = runtime.startGroup('My Test Suite');
suite.endGroup();
Logging Test Steps
This feature allows you to log individual test steps within a test case. The code sample demonstrates how to start and end a test step within a test case.
const { AllureRuntime, InMemoryAllureWriter } = require('allure-js-commons');
const runtime = new AllureRuntime({ writer: new InMemoryAllureWriter() });
const test = runtime.startTest('My Test');
const step = test.startStep('My Step');
step.endStep();
test.endTest();
Attaching Files
This feature allows you to attach files to your test cases. The code sample demonstrates how to attach a screenshot to a test case.
const { AllureRuntime, InMemoryAllureWriter } = require('allure-js-commons');
const runtime = new AllureRuntime({ writer: new InMemoryAllureWriter() });
const test = runtime.startTest('My Test');
test.addAttachment('Screenshot', 'image/png', Buffer.from('...'));
test.endTest();
