Buildkite Collectors for JavaScript

Official Buildkite Test Analytics collectors for JavaScript test frameworks ✨

⚒ Supported test frameworks: Jest, Jasmine, Mocha, Cypress, Playwright, and more coming soon.

📦 Supported CI systems: Buildkite, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and others via the BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_* environment variables.

👉 Installing

1. Create a test suite, and copy the API token that it gives you.

2. Add the buildkite-test-collector package:

   # If you use npm:
   npm install --save-dev buildkite-test-collector
   
   # or, if you use yarn:
   yarn add --dev buildkite-test-collector
   

3. Add the Buildkite test collector to your testing framework:

   Jest

   Update your Jest configuration:
   

   // jest.config.js
   
   // Send results to Test Analytics
   reporters: [
     'default',
     'buildkite-test-collector/jest/reporter'
   ],
   
   // Enable column + line capture for Test Analytics
   testLocationInResults: true
   

   If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.

   // jest.config.js
   
   // Send results to Test Analytics
   reporters: [
     "default",
     [
       "buildkite-test-collector/jest/reporter",
       { token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR },
     ],
   ];
   

   Jasmine

   Add the Buildkite reporter to Jasmine:
   

   // SpecHelper.js
   var BuildkiteReporter = require("buildkite-test-collector/jasmine/reporter");
   var buildkiteReporter = new BuildkiteReporter();
   
   jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(buildkiteReporter);
   

   If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.

   // SpecHelper.js
   var buildkiteReporter = new BuildkiteReporter(undefined, {
     token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR,
   });
   

   Mocha

   Install mocha-multi-reporters in your project:
   

   npm install mocha-multi-reporters --save-dev
   

   and configure it to run your desired reporter and the Buildkite reporter

   // config.json
   {
     "reporterEnabled": "spec, buildkite-test-collector/mocha/reporter"
   }
   

   Now update your test script to use the buildkite reporter via mocha-multi-reporters:

     // package.json
     "scripts": {
       "test": "mocha --reporter mocha-multi-reporters --reporter-options configFile=config.json"
     },
   

   If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.

   Since the reporter options are passed in as a json file, we ask you to put the environment variable name as a string value in the config.json, which will be retrieved using dotenv in the mocha reporter.

   // config.json
   {
     "reporterEnabled": "spec, buildkite-test-collector/mocha/reporter",
     "buildkiteTestCollectorMochaReporterReporterOptions": {
       "token_name": "CUSTOM_ENV_VAR_NAME"
     }
   }
   

   Playwright

   Update your Playwright configuration:
   

   // playwright.config.js
   
   // Send results to Test Analytics
   reporter: [
     ['line'],
     ['buildkite-test-collector/playwright/reporter']
   ],
   

   If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.

   // jest.config.js
   
   // Send results to Test Analytics
   reporter: [
     ['line'],
     ['buildkite-test-collector/playwright/reporter', { token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR },]
   ],
   

   Cypress

   Update your Cypress configuration:
   

    // cypress.config.js
   
    // Send results to Test Analytics
   reporter: "buildkite-test-collector/cypress/reporter",
   

   If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the reporterOptions.

   // cypress.config.js
   
   // Send results to Test Analytics
   reporterOptions: {
    token_name: "CUSTOM_ENV_VAR_NAME"
   }
   

4. Run your tests locally:
   

   env BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_TOKEN=xyz npm test
   

5. Add the BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_TOKEN secret to your CI, push your changes to a branch, and open a pull request 🎉

   git checkout -b add-bk-test-analytics
   git commit -am "Add Buildkite Test Analytics"
   git push origin add-bk-test-analytics
   

📓 Notes

This jest collector uses the onRunComplete hook to report test results to the Buildkite API. This interferes with the --forceExit CLI option and interrupts the request that sends tests results, meaning that no data will be available for your test suite. It's recommended to use --detectOpenHandles to find any hanging process and clean them up and remove the use of --forceExit.

🔍 Debugging

To enable debugging output, set the BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_DEBUG_ENABLED environment variable to true.

🔜 Roadmap

See the GitHub 'enhancement' issues for planned features. Pull requests are always welcome, and we’ll give you feedback and guidance if you choose to contribute 💚

⚒ Developing

After cloning the repository, install the dependencies:

npm install
