A comprehensive reporting tool that transforms your Cypress test results into visually stunning reports using Mochawesome and other tools.
npm install cypress-reportifybash
npm install cypress-reportify --save-dev
`
Ensure that your Cypress project is properly set up before installing this reporter.
Usage
Once the package is installed, you can easily use the reporter in your Cypress project. Below are the basic steps:
$3
#### Update your cypress.config.js file to include the proper reporter configuration
`javascript
module.exports = {
e2e: {
reporter: 'mochawesome',
reporterOptions: {
reportDir: 'cypress/reports',
overwrite: false,
html: false,
json: true
},
},
};
`
#### Instead for Old Cypress Version Update your cypress.json file to include the proper reporter configuration
In your cypress.json file, configure Cypress to use Cypress Reportify by setting it as the reporter:
`json
{
"reporter": "cypress-reportify",
"reporterOptions": {
"reportDir": "cypress/reports",
"overwrite": false,
"html": true,
"json": true
}
}
`
$3
Simply run your Cypress tests as you normally would, and Cypress Reportify will automatically generate the reports.
`bash
npx cypress run
`
$3
To generate all reports (HTML, JSON, CSV) and serve the responsive report dashboard, use the command-line tool provided by the package:
`bash
npx cypress-reporter
`
This command will:
- Generate the Mochawesome report.
- Merge all JSON reports.
- Generate the HTML report.
- Generate the CSV report.
- Serve the responsive report dashboard.
You can customize your reporting directory by changing the reportDir in the Cypress configuration.
$3
If you want to manually generate specific reports, you can use the respective scripts from the CLI:
- Generate Mochawesome HTML report:
`bash
npx cypress-reporter mochawesome-html
`
- Merge JSON reports:
`bash
npx cypress-reporter merge-json
`
- Generate CSV report:
`bash
npx cypress-reporter csv
`
- Serve responsive report:
`bash
npx cypress-reporter serve
`
$3
The package includes a set of tests to verify its functionality. After installation, you can run the tests using:
`bash
npm test
`
Example Directory Structure
Below is a possible directory structure for your Cypress project after integrating Cypress Reportify:
`
.
├── cypress/
│ ├── integration/
│ └── reports/
│ ├── mergedReport.json
│ ├── mochawesome-report/
│ ├── csv-report.csv
│ └── responsive-dashboard/
├── node_modules/
├── cypress.json
├── package.json
└── README.md
`
If You have Errors while Installing or Running:
Such as: The error message indicates that Node.js cannot find the cli.js file for the cypress-reporter command. This could be due to a couple of reasons:
- Incorrect Caching: Sometimes, npm might cache incorrectly. Try clearing the npm cache:
`bash
npm cache clean --force
`
Then, reinstall the package:
`bash
npm install cypress-reportify
`
- Global vs. Local Installation: If you installed cypress-reportify globally (using -g flag), you might need to use the full command path (e.g., node_modules/.bin/cypress-reporter). However, using local installations within your project directory is generally recommended.
2. Running cypress-reportify:
The package.json already defines a script named cypress-reporter that should run the report generation functionality. You can use this instead of the full command:
`bash
npx cypress-reporter
`
This will execute node src/generate-report.js, which is the intended entry point for report generation.
Additional Tips:
- Check File Paths: Double-check the paths in your package.json to ensure they are accurate relative to your project structure.
- Project Setup: Verify that you've run npm install after adding cypress-reportify as a dependency to include it in your project's node_modules folder.
By following these steps and considering the alternative approaches for running the reporter, you should be able to successfully generate reports using cypress-reportify`.
