mocha-qtest-mapping-reporter

Mocha qTest reporter.
Map your test cases to automated tests with tag @qTest[testCaseId]

We assume that

• you want to have test suites with single test run per test case.
• you want to map mocha test(s) to test case in qTest
• ideally mapping is 1 to 1 to avoid execution result overwriting

qTest Structure

Test Suite  [testSuiteId]
  Test Run -> Test Case [testCaseId]
  Test Run -> Test Case [testCaseId]
  ...

Mocha Test

describe('Component')
  describe('Feature')
    it('test or test step @qTest[testCaseId]')

How it works

Before test execution is started reporter either gets Test Runs of Test Suite or creates empty Test Suite.

Having Test Runs reporter can build mapping like: { testCaseId: testRunId }
Test Run may be created automatically (by default) if Test Run for a Test Case is missing in Test Suite

Assuming test has string like @qTest[123456] in name, reporter uploads mocha test results in the end.

Configuration

example config file

{
  "host": "...", // your qTest host
  "bearerToken": "********-****-****-****-************", *// can be found in resources*
  "projectId": "12345", *// your project id*
  "statePassed": "PASS", *// can be found in automation settings -> integration*
  "stateFailed": "FAIL", *// can be found in automation settings -> integration*
  "enableLogs": false, *// disables console logging. Default value: true.*
  "hideWarning": true, *// hides "results won't be published" message. Default value: false.*
  "hideResultUrl": true *// skip printing out of suite url in the end. Default value: false.*
}

you can pass options one by one or pass path to json like this:
--reporter-options configFile=config/qTestReporter.json

Environment variables

You can either use existing Test Suite or create new one

Using Existing Test Suite (useful for combined test executions, ex: manual + automated)

QTEST_SUITE_ID - testSuiteId. Required

Creating Test Suite

QTEST_PARENT_TYPE - one of root / release / test-cycle / test-suite. Required
QTEST_PARENT_ID - parent id. Set to 0 if parent is root. Required
QTEST_SUITE_NAME - Test Suite name. Required

Common

QTEST_BUILD_URL - url to your build system or any other url. Optional QTEST_CREATE_TEST_RUNS - specify if test runs have to be created in qTest or just update existing ones. Optional

FAQ

Q: What is testCaseId, testRunId, testSuiteId
A: this is object id that can be found in URL. It is not what you see in UI like (TC-XXX, TR-XXX, TS-XXX)

Q: What QTEST_SUITE_ID value should I pass if I want it to be created automatically?
A: Don't pass any value.
You may specify either QTEST_SUITE_ID or combination of QTEST_PARENT_TYPE, QTEST_PARENT_ID, QTEST_SUITE_NAME

Q: Reporter completes successfully but (some) results are missing
A: some test runners are not waiting for reporter to publish results, add some one more test in the very end that waits for 5-10 seconds. Also make sure that your test cases are approved, use has sufficient privileges, etc.
