What is karma-junit-reporter?
The karma-junit-reporter is a reporter for the Karma test runner that generates test results in JUnit XML format. This is particularly useful for integrating with continuous integration (CI) systems that can process JUnit XML reports, such as Jenkins, Bamboo, and others.
What are karma-junit-reporter's main functionalities?
JUnit XML Report Generation
This feature allows you to configure the Karma test runner to generate test results in JUnit XML format. The configuration specifies the output directory and file name for the generated reports.
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
reporters: ['progress', 'junit'],
junitReporter: {
outputDir: 'test-results', // results will be saved as $outputDir/$browserName.xml
outputFile: 'junit-results.xml', // if included, results will be saved as $outputDir/$browserName/$outputFile
useBrowserName: false // add browser name to report and classes names
}
});
};
Customizing Report Output
This feature allows you to customize various aspects of the JUnit XML report, such as the suite name, whether to include the browser name in the report, and additional properties to include in the report.
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
reporters: ['progress', 'junit'],
junitReporter: {
outputDir: 'test-results',
outputFile: 'junit-results.xml',
suite: 'mySuite', // suite will become the package name attribute in xml testsuite element
useBrowserName: true, // add browser name to report and classes names
properties: { // key value pair of properties to add to the <properties> section of the report
myProperty: 'value'
},
xmlVersion: null // use '1' if reporting to be per SonarQube 6.2 XML format
}
});
};
Other packages similar to karma-junit-reporter
karma-mocha-reporter
The karma-mocha-reporter is another reporter for the Karma test runner that provides a more readable and visually appealing output compared to the default Karma reporter. Unlike karma-junit-reporter, it does not generate JUnit XML reports but focuses on providing a better console output for developers.
karma-html-reporter
The karma-html-reporter generates test results in an HTML format, which can be viewed in a web browser. This is different from karma-junit-reporter, which generates JUnit XML reports for CI systems. The HTML reporter is more suitable for developers who want to visually inspect test results.
karma-coverage
The karma-coverage package generates code coverage reports for your tests. While it does not generate JUnit XML reports like karma-junit-reporter, it provides valuable insights into how much of your code is covered by tests. This is useful for ensuring that your tests are comprehensive.
karma-junit-reporter
Reporter for the JUnit XML format.
Installation
The easiest way is to keep karma-junit-reporter
as a devDependency in your package.json
. Just run
npm install karma-junit-reporter --save-dev
to let npm automatically add it there.
Configuration
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
reporters: ['progress', 'junit'],
junitReporter: {
outputDir: '',
outputFile: undefined,
suite: '',
useBrowserName: true,
nameFormatter: undefined,
classNameFormatter: undefined,
properties: {},
xmlVersion: null
}
});
};
You can pass list of reporters as a CLI argument too:
karma start --reporters junit,dots
Produce test result with schema acceptable in sonar
To make this possible, it's required to make the classnames of each tests to match its file name.
For Example:
describe('analytics.AnalyticsModule_test', function(){
var analytics;
beforeEach(module('ECApp'));
beforeEach(module('angularytics'));
beforeEach(module('AnalyticsModule'));
...
should have a file name AnalyticsModule_test.js
This will produce test result with schema acceptable in sonar.
Grunt file reporters property example:
reporters: ['junit', 'coverage', 'progress'],
junitReporter: {
outputDir: $junitResults,
suite: 'models'
},
coverageReporter: {
type: 'lcov',
dir: $coverageOutputDir,
subdir: '.'
},
preprocessors: {
'src/main/webapp/public/js/ec3.3/**/*.js': 'coverage',
'src/main/webapp/public/js/ec3/**/*.js': 'coverage'
},
plugins: [
'karma-jasmine',
'karma-phantomjs-launcher',
'ec-karma-junit-reporter23',
'karma-coverage'
]
Sonar property example:
sonar.projectName=js
sonar.sources=site-main-php/src/main/webapp/public/js
sonar.projectBaseDir=.
sonar.exclusions=site-main-php/src/main/webapp/public/js/lib*.php,site-main-php/src/main/webapp/public/js/tests*.js,site-main-php/src/main/webapp/public/js/ec3.3/vendor
Example junit xml report:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<testsuite name="PhantomJS 1.9.8 (Linux)" package="models" timestamp="2015-03-10T13:59:23" id="0" hostname="admin" tests="629" errors="0" failures="0" time="11.452">
<properties>
<property name="browser.fullName" value="Mozilla/5.0 (Unknown; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) PhantomJS/1.9.8 Safari/534.34"/>
</properties>
<testcase name="(C.2) Checks if an empty object is returned when error 404 is encountered" time="0.01" classname="PhantomJS_1_9_8_(Linux).models.AnalyticsModule_test"/>
<testcase name="(C.3) Checks if an empty array is returned when error 405 is encountered" time="0.013" classname="PhantomJS_1_9_8_(Linux).models.AnalyticsModule_test"/>
</testsuite>
