Setup

This setup tutorial works with Cypress >= v10, looking for older version setup? here

1. install cypress-mochawesome-reporter

   npm i --save-dev cypress-mochawesome-reporter
   

   or

   yarn add -D cypress-mochawesome-reporter
   

2. Change cypress reporter & setup hooks

   Edit config file (cypress.config.js by default)

   const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');
   
   module.exports = defineConfig({
     reporter: 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter',
     e2e: {
       setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
         require('cypress-mochawesome-reporter/plugin')(on);
       },
     },
   });
   

   If you are override before:run or after:run hooks, use this:

   const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');
   const { beforeRunHook, afterRunHook } = require('cypress-mochawesome-reporter/lib');
   
   module.exports = defineConfig({
     reporter: 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter',
     e2e: {
       setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
         on('before:run', async (details) => {
           console.log('override before:run');
           await beforeRunHook(details);
         });
   
         on('after:run', async () => {
           console.log('override after:run');
           await afterRunHook();
         });
       },
     },
   });
