Cypress Mochawesome CSV United Report

Cypress Mochawesome CSV United Report is a command-line tool that merges all Cypress Mochawesome JSON reports into a customized CSV file. The reports should be located in the cypress/reports folder within a Cypress project.

Features

• Merges multiple JSON files into one CSV report.
• Automatically handles file naming conflicts for CSV output.
• Extracts relevant data from Mochawesome reports (time, suite, test case, pass/fail status, etc.).
• Customizable delimiter for CSV formatting.

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 14.0.0 or higher.
• Typescript setup in your project (if you're modifying the source code).

Installation

To install the package locally, run the following command in your Cypress project root:

npm install cypress-mochawesome-csv-united-report

Usage

• Once installed, you can generate a CSV report by running the following command:

npx csv_report

Command Breakdown

• csv_report: This will merge all the JSON files located in the cypress/reports directory and create a CSV report.

Custom CSV File Location

• By default, the merged CSV file will be saved to cypress/reports/csv_report.csv. If a file with that name already exists, a new file with a unique name (e.g., csv_report+1.csv, csv_report+2.csv, etc.) will be created automatically.

Example

Assuming your cypress/reports directory contains the following Mochawesome JSON files:

• cypress/reports/test-results-1.json
• cypress/reports/test-results-2.json

Running npx csv_report will generate a CSV file at:

• cypress/reports/csv_report.csv

• The CSV file will include data from both JSON files, containing fields such as:

  • Day: Day of the test report.
  • Time: Timestamp of the test report.
  • suite: Test suite name.
  • Test Case: Individual test case name.
  • Duration: Duration of the test.
  • Speed: Speed of the test execution.
  • State: Test state (passed, failed, pending).
  • Context: Additional context, if available.
  • Code: Test code snippet, if provided.
  • error: Error details, if any.

CSV Formatting

• The default delimiter used in the CSV file is the Star Symbol (*) . You can modify this by adjusting the source code.
• The generated CSV will escape the delimiter and any newlines in the fields to ensure proper formatting.

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-mochawesome-csv-united-report command. This could be due to a couple of reasons:

• Incorrect Caching: Sometimes, npm might cache incorrectly. Try clearing the npm cache:

  npm cache clean --force
  

  Then, reinstall the package:

  npm install cypress-mochawesome-csv-united-report
  

• Global vs. Local Installation: If you installed cypress-mochawesome-csv-united-report globally (using -g flag), but, using local installations within your project directory is generally recommended.

2. Running cypress-mochawesome-csv-united-report:

The package.json already defines a script named cypress-mochawesome-csv-united-report that should run the report generation functionality. You can use this instead of the full command:

npx csv_report

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-mochawesome-csv-united-report 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-mochawesome-csv-united-report.
