mocha-js-reporter

JS runtime reporter for Mocha.

Runtime reporter for Mocha in Jasmine JS-Reporter format.

This is a Mocha reporter, designed to simplify the extraction of test results from the Page. It's tailored with Test Reporting Automation in mind.

Ideal scenario of use are:

• Use Selenium Web Driver to extract the result out of the page
• Use PhantomJS to do... well, the same as above
• Every time you wish Jasmine produced a JSON to report about the tests

What does it do?

The Reporter awaits for all the Test to finish, than produces a report that can be retrieved with

var JSONReport = mocha.getJSReport ();

and looks like the following:

{
    "suites": [
        {
            "description": "Simple test that checks the obvious regarding Truthy-ness and Falsy-ness",
            "durationSec": 0.005,
            "specs": [
                {
                    "description": "should report that a number is truthy, if different than '0', falsy otherwise",
                    "durationSec": 0.004,
                    "passed": true,
                    "skipped": false,
                },
                // ... more specs here...
            ],
            "suites": [],
            "passed": true
        }
    ],
    "durationSec": 0.005,
    "passed": true
}

After that, you can just extract it from the page.

How do I download it and check it works

1. Download the code:
   • git clone http://github.com/darvin/mocha-js-reporter.git
2. Include the reporter in your page running Jasmine tests with something like:
   • <script src="path/to/mocha-js-reporter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
3. Open your WebInspector, Firebug or whatever you use
4. On the console, type:
   • mocha.getJSReport ()
5. Check that you get an Object back (should look like the above one)
6. You are done!

Now you can setup your Test Infrastructure to extract test results from the test page, in the same way I just showed you.
