jest-html-reporters

What is jest-html-reporters?

jest-html-reporters is a Jest test results processor that generates a customizable HTML report. It helps in visualizing test results in a more readable and accessible format.

What are jest-html-reporters's main functionalities?

Basic HTML Report Generation

This feature allows you to generate a basic HTML report of your Jest test results. The configuration specifies the output directory and filename for the report.

module.exports = { reporters: [ 'default', [ 'jest-html-reporters', { publicPath: './html-report', filename: 'report.html' } ] ] };

Customizable Report Title

You can customize the title of the HTML report by adding a 'title' property in the configuration.

module.exports = { reporters: [ 'default', [ 'jest-html-reporters', { publicPath: './html-report', filename: 'report.html', title: 'My Custom Report' } ] ] };

Include Console Logs

This feature allows you to include console logs in the HTML report, which can be useful for debugging purposes.

module.exports = { reporters: [ 'default', [ 'jest-html-reporters', { publicPath: './html-report', filename: 'report.html', includeConsoleLog: true } ] ] };

Custom Test Result Processor

You can add custom information to the report by using the 'customInfos' property. This can be useful for adding additional context or metadata to your test results.

module.exports = { reporters: [ 'default', [ 'jest-html-reporters', { publicPath: './html-report', filename: 'report.html', customInfos: [{ title: 'Custom Info', value: 'This is a custom info' }] } ] ] };

Installation

---

  # yarn
  yarn add jest-html-reporters --dev
  # npm
  npm install jest-html-reporters --save-dev

Usage

---

Configure Jest to process the test results by adding the following entry to the Jest config (jest.config.json):

"jest": {
  ...,
  "reporters": [
    "default",
    "jest-html-reporters"
  ],
  ...
}

As you run Jest from within the terminal, a file called jest_html_reporters.html will be created within your root folder containing information about your tests.

some features.

• Collapsable Test Groups

This feature regrading to #37, if a test file has many test cases, here will show a Merge Data checkbox on the expanded table. You can check it to merge data and set the merge level to control how to combine those data.

For Example

• Attach screenshot to report

This feature regrading to #36, this package will a new method named addAttach.

interface IAddAttachParams {
    attach: string | Buffer;
    description: string | object;
    context: any;
    bufferFormat: string;
}

There are three params of this method, description is easy to understand. The param attach referring to the image, you can pass a buffer or string, if it was a buffer the package will help you create a dir named jest-html-reporters-attach and save that buffer as a jpg image in it under the publicPath. if you have already saved the image, just pass the image's path as the attach param. context is an optional parameter. Here can be specified context (default is this.global).

Here is an Example with puppeteer.

// Example attach with **buffer**
const { addAttach } = require("jest-html-reporters/helper");
const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

describe("just examples", () => {
  test("test buffer", async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto("https://www.google.com");
    const data = await page.screenshot();
    await browser.close();
    await addAttach({
      attach: data,
      description: 'img 1',
    });
    await addAttach({
      attach: await fs.readFileSync('./test.mp4'),
      description: 'img 1',
      bufferFormat: 'mp4',
    });
    expect(1).toBe(1);
  });
});

// Example attach with **string**
const { addAttach } = require("jest-html-reporters/helper");
const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");
const path = require("path");

describe("just examples", () => {
  test("case string", async () => {
    const filePath = path.resolve(__dirname, "./test.jpg");
    await browser.close();
    await addAttach({
      attach: filePath,
      description: 'test google 2',
    });

    await addAttach({
      attach: 'www.example.com/test.mp4',
      description: 'test video 2',
    });
    expect(1).toBe(2);
  });
});

it will show like this

• Attach a message to the report

This feature is in regards to #63 & #64. It allows you to add a message or log something to the html report with addMsg()

/**
 * @param {object} options - options object
 * @param {string | object} options.message - message string
 * @param {any} [options.context] - custom context (optional)
 */
const addMsg = async ({ message, context }) => { ... }

Only one parameter is required. If you pass an serializable object like, it will auth using JSON.stringify(object, null, 2) to save the object and then prettified it in report. context is an optional parameter. Here can be specified context (default is this.global).

Here is an Example with Nightmare.

const { addAttach, addMsg } = require("jest-html-reporters/helper");
const Nightmare = require("nightmare");

describe("Yet another example", () => {
  test("Both addAttach & addMsg with failure", async () => {
    const nightmare = Nightmare({ show: true });
    await addMsg({ message: { won: 1, too: 2 } });
    await nightmare.goto("https://duckduckgo.com");
    const s1 = await nightmare.screenshot();
    await addAttach(s1, "test duckduckgo 1");
    await nightmare.end();
    await addMsg({ message: JSON.stringify(process, null, 2) });
    expect(2).toEqual(1);
  }, 20000);
  test("addMsg with success", async () => {
    await addMsg({ message: JSON.stringify({ free: 3, for: 4 }, null, 2) });
    expect(2).toEqual(2);
  });
});

Message still displays without screenshots and with a successful test

• Show a link for each test file

If user set some value to urlForTestFiles, Details table shows an icon link to each rows. The link is constructed by joining urlForTestFiles (ex: https://github.com/Hazyzh/jest-html-reporters/blob/master) and relativePath (ex: /src/utils/index.test.js) for each tests.
