gemini test and gemini gui CL errors when html-reports already exist

[goesbysteve]

My issue is not so much how the gemini update/test cycle works but when gemini creates the html reports it seems that a further command causes a critical error that can be solved by deleting the previously created reports.

What is the correct way to run gemini with the gui when the html-reporter plugin is enabled?

Output of gemini --version:

5.7.1

Contents of .gemini.yml file:

module.exports = {
    rootUrl: 'http://slate.local.wcp.imdserve.com/',
    gridUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub',
    windowSize: '600x1080',
    browsers: {
        chrome: {
            desiredCapabilities: {
                browserName: 'chrome',
              chromeOptions: {
                args: ['--headless'],
              }
            }
        }
    },
    system: {
      plugins: {
        'html-reporter/gemini': {
          enabled: true,
          path: 'gemini/gemini-reports',
          defaultView: 'all',
          scaleImages: false
        }
      }
    }
}

Test source code:

const fs = require('fs');
const yaml = require('js-yaml');
const getFiles = require('./getFilesRecursively.js');

this.baseDirectory = __dirname + '/../../../themes/im-fabric/views/partials';
this.gemini = gemini;

const yamlFiles = getFiles(this.baseDirectory)
    .filter(name => name.includes('.yaml'));

yamlFiles.forEach(file => {
    const fileContents = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8');
    const parsedFile = yaml.safeLoad(fileContents);
    this.gemini.suite(parsedFile.id, (suite) => {
        suite.setUrl('/styleguide/components/')
            .setCaptureElements('#' + parsedFile.id)
            .capture('plain');
    });
});

Command used to run the test:

// delete gemini/screens & genmini/gemini-reports
gemini update
gemini test

or

// delete gemini/screens & genmini/gemini-reports
gemini update
gemini gui

Result:

1. gemini update works, but on running gemini test I get a critical error

If the gemini/gemini-reports is deleted after it was created by gemini update then the command gemini test succeeds with correct results.

2. gemini update works, but on running gemini gui I get the same critical error as above which can be solved in the same way by deleting gemini/gemini-reports.

Expected behaviour:

In either case the second gemini command works without having to delete the gemini/gemini-reports folders.

I am using node 8.11.1

Seems using gemini test --html-reporter-enabled false stops the errors but should that be necessary? I just feel I am missing information on how it was intended to run gemini gui alongside gemini test.

hi

it looks like a bug. I'll check it

Thanks @sipayRT

@stevegibbings It would be nice if test/update and gui commands work with reports interchangeably. I've dug a little in html-reporter plugins source code. The plugin implements two different strategies to produce reports. The first one for test/update and the second one for gui. Although they are quite similar, they are not quite compatible by implementation.

Thanks @generalov. Does that mean it’s intended that I should use either update/test or gui but not both? I want to use test for automation in GitHub but the gui is nice for devs locally. As I noted above passing an argument on the test command can disable it and I don’t intend on commiting the html reports to git. Currently trying to automate chromedriver and gemini in node anyway as I can’t see a way to combine the chromedriver in an npm script as it never exits. I really like gemini though. Thanks for sharing it.

I’ve noticed a few points in the readme that could do with updating. Mind if I offer a PR for those?

Any progress on this? Why is it closed? I reproduce it on gemini 7.0.1 and html-reporter 3.1.1

[Kreozot]

Okay, looks like I solved it. Thanks to this issue: #102
In my case the solution is to move report folder from gemini tests folder.
