Junit Reporter

[rodikal]

We want to run protractor tests on Jenkins, so it would be very useful if there was a junit reporter (like karma has) so the status of the tests can be reported by Jenkins

[FabienDeshayes]

My 2 cents here: if you use Grunt as your build tool, you can run your Protractor tests using grunt-jasmine-node and configure it to get JUnit-like reports!

How do to this in your configuration file in an only slightly hacky way - I've tested this out with Protractor's own test suite:

npm install jasmine-reporters

Your config file:

require('jasmine-reporters');

jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new jasmine.JUnitXmlReporter(
    'outputdir/', true, true));

// The main suite of Protractor tests.
exports.config = {
  seleniumServerJar: './selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar',
  chromeDriver: './selenium/chromedriver',

  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',

  // Spec patterns are relative to this directory.
  specs: [
    '*_spec.js'
  ],

  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8000',
};

Does it accept the relative path or absolute of directory.Absolute path is working while relative path not. I have tried options like ../Reports but its of no use
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
new jasmine.JUnitXmlReporter('xmloutput', true, true));
},

explored and working , ignore my last comment

I wasn't smart enough so I expected the folder to be created but in fact, the folder has to be created before hand.

@juliemr How to use it with two Protractor instances running in parallel, e.g. via grunt-concurrent? It's needed so that we can run tests in Firefox & Chrome at the same time but it'll make one XML replace the other which will confuse Jenkins.

Maybe Protractor should know how to run in Parallel for reasons like that, similarly to what Karma does?

[jvandyke]

@mzgol Have you tried making each target running as a concurrent task output a different junit xml report based on the platform? You could just create a new output folder based on the target name.

You may also want to look into multi-configuration targets on Jenkins which let you run your build steps in parallel each with a clean environment. It also has nifty features like touchstone builds and allows you to throttle concurrency better than grunt.

[vmaliwal]

Does similar config exist for mocha? (as I am not using Jasmine)

@mzgol I tried the suggestion from jvandyke(thank you) and it is working fine for me:

onPrepare: function(){
        require('jasmine-reporters');
        var capsPromise = browser.getCapabilities();
        capsPromise.then(function(caps){
            var browserName = caps.caps_.browserName.toUpperCase();
            var browserVersion = caps.caps_.version;
            var prePendStr = browserName + "-" + browserVersion + "-";
            jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new
jasmine.JUnitXmlReporter("protractor_output", true, true,prePendStr));
        });
 },

Thanks. Its working for me too:

onPrepare: function(){
require('jasmine-reporters');
var capsPromise = browser.getCapabilities();
capsPromise.then(function(caps){
var browserName = caps.caps_.browserName.toUpperCase();
var browserVersion = caps.caps_.version;
var prePendStr = browserName + "-" + browserVersion + "-";
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new
jasmine.JUnitXmlReporter("protractor_output", true, true,prePendStr));
});
},

I have created an html reporter on top of this. Please let me know your comments
