WDIO Allure Reporter
====================

> A WebdriverIO reporter plugin to create Allure Test Reports.

!Allure Reporter Example

$3

- Test Plan Support - Execute only specific tests defined in a test plan file
- Enhanced SDK Integration - Updated to use allure-js-commons v3.3.2 with improved performance
- Better Cucumber Support - Improved handling of Cucumber scenarios and steps
- Enhanced Error Handling - More robust error reporting and debugging capabilities

$3

The Test Plan feature allows you to execute only specific tests defined in a JSON file. This is particularly useful for:
- Running subset of tests in CI/CD pipelines
- Parallel test execution
- Test prioritization

#### Configuration

Create a test plan file (.allure/testplan.json or testplan.json):

``json
{
"version": "1.0",
"tests": [
{
"id": "test-001",
"selector": "test/index.test.ts#should generate testplan.json"
}
]
}
`

#### How Selectors Work

Test plan selectors work by matching against the test's fulltitle, which includes the file path and test name. The format is:

`
#
`

Examples:
- test/index.test.ts#should generate testplan.json - matches specific test in specific file
- Login Tests - matches any test with "Login Tests" in the title
- User Registration - matches any test with "User Registration" in the title

The selector matching is flexible and supports:
- Exact matches - full test title
- Partial matches - substring of test title
- File-specific matches - include file path for precise targeting

#### Testplan

The test plan support can be enabled by providing ALLURE_TESTPLAN_PATH environment variable – the reporter automatically loads the test plan file and run tests which match the selectors.

`bash
ALLURE_TESTPLAN_PATH=/path/to/your/testplan.json
`


#### Usage Examples

Example 1: Running specific tests by file and test name
`json
{
"version": "1.0",
"tests": [
{
"id": "login-001",
"selector": "tests/auth.test.js#should login with valid credentials"
},
{
"id": "login-002",
"selector": "tests/auth.test.js#should reject invalid credentials"
}
]
}
`

Example 2: Running tests by partial title match
`json
{
"version": "1.0",
"tests": [
{
"id": "smoke-001",
"selector": "Login Tests"
},
{
"id": "smoke-002",
"selector": "User Registration"
}
]
}
`

Example 3: Running all tests in a specific file
`json
{
"version": "1.0",
"tests": [
{
"id": "auth-suite",
"selector": "tests/auth.test.js"
}
]
}
`

Installation

The easiest way is to include @wdio/allure-reporter as a devDependency in your package.json.

`json
{
"devDependencies": {
"@wdio/allure-reporter": "^7.0.0"
}
}
`

You can simply do it by:

`sh
npm install @wdio/allure-reporter --save-dev
`

Configuration

Configure the output directory in your wdio.conf.js file:

`js
export const config = {
// ...
reporters: [['allure', {
outputDir: 'allure-results',
disableWebdriverStepsReporting: true,
disableWebdriverScreenshotsReporting: true,
addConsoleLogs: true, // Attach console logs to reports
reportedEnvironmentVars: {
'NODE_VERSION': process.version,
'BROWSER': 'chrome'
}
}]],
// ...
}
`


$3

- outputDir - defaults to ./allure-results. After a test run is complete, you will find that this directory has been populated with an .json file for each spec, plus a number of .txt and .png files and other attachments.

- disableWebdriverStepsReporting - optional parameter (false by default), in order to log only custom steps to the reporter.

- issueLinkTemplate - optional parameter, in order to specify the issue link pattern. Reporter will replace {} placeholder with value specified in addIssue(value) call parameter. The same logic is applied if Cucumber is used and tag issue is set at any level, it will be converted to the link in the report. The parameter value example:
`
https://example.org/issue/{}
`

- tmsLinkTemplate - optional parameter, in order to specify TMS (Test Management System) link pattern. Reporter will replace {} placeholder with value specified in addTestId(value) call parameter. The same logic is applied if Cucumber is used and tag testId is set at any level, it will be converted to the link in the report. The parameter value example:
`
https://example.org/tms/{}
`

- disableWebdriverScreenshotsReporting - optional parameter (false by default), in order to not attach screenshots to the reporter.

- useCucumberStepReporter - optional parameter (false by default), set it to true in order to change the report hierarchy when using cucumber. Try it for yourself and see how it looks.

- disableMochaHooks - optional parameter (false by default), set it to true in order to not fetch the before/after stacktrace/screenshot/result hooks into the Allure Reporter.

- addConsoleLogs - optional parameter (false by default), set to true in order to attach console logs from step to the reporter.

- reportedEnvironmentVars (type: Record) - Set this option to display the environment variables in the report. Note that setting this, does not modify the actual environment variables.

Supported Allure API

$3

* addLabel(name, value) - assign a custom label to test
* addFeature(featureName) – assign features to test
* addStory(storyName) – assign user story to test
* addSeverity(value) – assign severity to test, accepts one of these values: blocker, critical, normal, minor, trivial
* addTag(value) – assign a tag label to test
* addEpic(value) – assign an epic label to test

* content – attachment content.
type (String*, optional) – attachment MIME-type, text/plain by default
* addArgument(name, value) - add an additional argument to test
* addDescription(description, [type]) – add description to test.

$3

* addStep(title, [{content, name = 'attachment'}], [status]) - add step to test.
title (String*) - name of the step.
content (String*, optional) - step attachment
name (String*, optional) - step attachment name, attachment by default.
status (String*, optional) - step status, passed by default. Must be "failed", "passed" or "broken"
* startStep(title) - start with a step
title (String*) - name of the step.
* endStep(status) - end with a step
status (String*, optional) - step status, passed by default. Must be "failed", "passed" or "broken"
* step(name, body) - starts step with content function inside. Allows to create steps with infinite hierarchy
body (Function*) - the step body async function

$3

Allure Api can be accessed using:

CJS

`js
const allureReporter = require('@wdio/allure-reporter').default
`

ESM

`js
import allureReporter from '@wdio/allure-reporter'
`

Mocha example

`js
describe('Suite', () => {
it('Case', () => {
allureReporter.addFeature('Feature')
})
})
`

#### Cucumber

Basic Cucumber example:

`js
Given('I include feature and story name', () => {
allureReporter.addFeature('Feature_name');
allureReporter.addStory('Story_name');
})
`

#### Custom steps

step method simplifies dealing with steps because each step present as an async function with any content inside.
The first argument of the function is the current step, that has most of the allure API methods (such as label, epic, attach etc):

`js
allureReporter.step('my step name', async (s1) => {
s1.label('foo', 'bar')
await s1.step('my child step name', async (s2) => {
// you can add any combination of steps in the body function
})
})
`

##### Cucumber Tags

Cucumber tags with special names (issue and testId) are converted to the links (the corresponding link templates must be configured before):
`gherkin
@issue=BUG-1
@testId=TST-2
Feature: This is a feature with global tags that will be converted to Allure links

@issue=BUG-3
@testId=TST-4
Scenario: This is a scenario with tags that will be converted to Allure links
Given I do something
`

Cucumber tags with special names (feature) are mapped to Allure labels:

`gherkin
Feature: Test user role

@feature=login
Scenario: Login
Given I test login
`

Displaying the report

The results can be consumed by any of the reporting tools offered by Allure. For example:

$3

Install the Allure command-line tool, and process the results directory:

`sh
allure generate [allure_output_dir] && allure open
`

This will generate a report (by default in ./allure-report), and open it in your browser.

$3

You can also auto-generate the report by using the Allure command line tool programmatically. To do so install the package in your project by:

`sh
npm i allure-commandline
`

Then add or extend your onComplete hook or create a custom service for this:

`js
// wdio.conf.js
const allure = require('allure-commandline')

export const config = {
// ...
onComplete: function() {
const reportError = new Error('Could not generate Allure report')
const generation = allure(['generate', 'allure-results', '--clean'])
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const generationTimeout = setTimeout(
() => reject(reportError),
5000)

generation.on('exit', function(exitCode) {
clearTimeout(generationTimeout)

if (exitCode !== 0) {
return reject(reportError)
}

console.log('Allure report successfully generated')
resolve()
})
})
}
// ...
}
`

$3

Install and configure the Allure Jenkins plugin

Add Screenshots

Screenshots can be attached to the report by using the takeScreenshot function from WebDriverIO in the afterTest hook for Mocha and Jasmine or afterStep hook for Cucumber.
First set disableWebdriverScreenshotsReporting: false in reporter options, then add in afterStep hook:

$3

`js title="wdio.conf.js"
afterTest: async function(test, context, { error, result, duration, passed, retries }) {
if (error) {
await browser.takeScreenshot();
}
}
`

$3

`js title="wdio.conf.js"
afterStep: async function (step, scenario, { error, duration, passed }, context) {
if (error) {
await browser.takeScreenshot();
}
}
``

As shown in the example above, when this function is called, a screenshot image will be attached to the allure report.
