# Cucumberjs parser
There are 2 parsers that can be used, the `cucumber`- and the `cucumberMulti`-parser. Just select one of them based on the below description and use them like this

```
## Intro
There are multiple version of CucumberJS that all differ a bit in the way they log failures. This parser will parse the log based on 2 log lines. That combination will determine if a `*.feature`-file needs to be run again.
The 2 log lines are

- `Failures:`
- `Specs: /path/to/your/featurefile/flaky.feature`.

The `Failures` log line is always printed on failed scenario's. The `Specs: /path/to/your/featurefile/flaky.feature` is not always printed, due to the capability settings in the Protractor configuration. See [here](#capability-configuration)


## Usage
The following 2 things need to be done to get the parser working

### Configure protractor-flake
Via the CLI:
```shell
// how to use the `cucumber`-parser
protractor-flake --protractor-path=/path/to/protractor --parser cucumber --node-bin node --max-attempts=3 -- path/to/protractor.conf.js
```

Or programmatically:

```js
var protractorFlake = require('protractor-flake');

// Default Options
protractorFlake({
parser: 'cucumber'
}, function (status, output) {
proces.exit(status)
})
```

### Add a `Specs: ..` log statement
Depending on the version of CucumberJS that is used 1 of the hooks defined below can be used. This can be saved to a file like for example `afterHooks.js`. Make sure that this file is required in the `protractor.conf.js` file like this

// how to use the `cucumberMulti`-parser
protractor-flake --protractor-path=/path/to/protractor --parser cucumberMulti --node-bin node --max-attempts=3 -- path/to/protractor.conf.js
```js
cucumberOpts: {
require: [
'path/to/your/afterHooks.js'
]
}
```

This will **always** print the `Specs:` in the testoutput when a scenario fails. The parser will filter double specs.

#### Version 1
```js
'use strict';

module.exports = function () {
this.After(function (scenarioResult) {
if (scenarioResult.isFailed()) {
// Log the spec to the console for protractor-flake to be able to rerun the failed specs
console.log('Specs:', scenarioResult.getUri());
}

return Promise.resolve();
});
};
```

#### Version 2
```js
'use strict';

const {defineSupportCode} = require('cucumber');

## cucumber
> This parser only works with `cucumberjs` version < v0.9.0
defineSupportCode(({After}) => {
After(function (scenarioResult) {
if (scenarioResult.status === 'failed') {
// Log the spec to the console for protractor-flake to be able to rerun the failed specs
console.log('Specs:', scenarioResult.scenario.uri);
}

return Promise.resolve();
});
});
```

The `cucumber` parser will search the testoutput for this piece of text `/path/to/your/featurefile/flakey.feature:4 # Scenario: Flakey scenario`. This is the line that says that a scenario in a featurefile failed.
The `/path/to/your/featurefile/flakey.feature` piece will be stripped out and passed to `protractor-flake` to rerun the file(s) for the amount of retries that have been given.
#### Version 3
```js
'use strict';

## cucumberMulti
> This parser is based on `cucumberjs` > v0.9.0. These versions have a different logging and also a different way in returning the path of the runned specs. (See example [logging](../test/unit/support/fixtures/cucumberjs/)).
const {defineSupportCode, Status} = require('cucumber');

> **This parser can parse testoutput from `capabilities` and `multiCapabilities`**
defineSupportCode(({After}) => {
After(function (testCase) {
if (testCase.status === 'failed') {
// Log the spec to the console for protractor-flake to be able to rerun the failed specs
console.log('Specs:', testCase.scenario.uri);
}

The `cucumberMulti` parser will search the testoutput for the text combination `Failures:`and `Specs: /path/to/your/featurefile/flakey.feature`.
The parser needs to search for both pieces of text because succeeded specs are also being logged.
The `/path/to/your/featurefile/flakey.feature` piece will be stripped out and passed to `protractor-flake` to rerun the file(s) for the amount of retries that have been given.
return Promise.resolve();
});
});
```

Based on the way the capability in Protractor has been configured the `Specs:` are printed. See the table below for the results.

When no `Specs:` are printed in the logging Protractor will run the Protractor command again which means that all the specs are run on **ALL** the instances (also the succeeded specs).

### Keep in mind
Keep in mind that if the testsuite holds multiple featurefiles and only 1 featurefile is flakey the following will occur. For example:
* Run 1:
* 2 featurefiles are run
* 1 is flakey => `protractor-flake` will parse the output, finds 1 failed specs output (see table) and reruns protractor
* Run 2:
* 1 featurefile is run
* featurefile is flakey => `protractor-flake` will parse the output and finds NO specs in the output (see table) and reruns protractor
* Run 3:
* protractor is rerun by `protractor-flake` but gets no `--specs`, this means that ALL the featurefiles are run again

To avoid this behaviour a simple "workaround" can be implemented, see "Always print specs"

### Always print specs
There is a way to always print `Specs:`. This can be done with the following hook, see [cucumberjs](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js) for more hook info:

```
var afterHook = function () {
this.After(function (scenario, callback) {
if (scenario.isFailed()) {
console.log('Specs:', scenario.getUri());
}
callback();
});
};
module.exports = afterHook;
```

Make sure that the file is required in the `protractor.conf.js` file like this

```
cucumberOpts: {
require: [
'path/to/your/afterHooks.js'
]
}
```

This will always print the `Specs:` in the testoutput. The parser will filter double specs.
