What Does the AIO Tests Native Cypress Reporter Do?

With AIO Test’s Cypress reporter, AIO Tests simplifies the reporting of results from the automated Cypress tests to AIO Tests for Jira. By hooking into Cypress events, the AIO Tests Reporter reports results in the after:spec event, after every spec run finishes. The reporter can:

...

Info

The reporter can work only with the cypress run and not with cypress open command, since Cypress app doesn’t provide the results information in the after:spec event.

How to Get Started?

AIO Tests Cypress reporter comes as an npm package and can be installed via the standard install command.

npm install cypress-aiotests-reporter

How to Report Results?

AIO Tests reporter reports results after every spec file. Once the tests in a spec file are finished, the reporter searches for mappings in the tests and uploads mapped test case results to AIO Tests.

The below section covers how to map Cypress automated cases to AIO Tests, how to setup the AIO Tests Reporter and the possible configuration values.

Mapping Automated Cypress Tests to AIO Tests

The AIO Tests Case key can be added to the ` describe ` and ` it ` function descriptions. <br> If there are multiple case keys in a single description, then the result of one test will be updated to multiple cases.

...

Code Block
describe('example to-do app', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {    ..  })

  it('NVTES-TC-72, NVTES-TC-73 : displays two todo items by default', () => {
    cy.get('.todo-list li').should('have.length', 2)
    cy.get('.todo-list li').first().should('have.text', 'Pay electric bill')
    cy.get('.todo-list li').last().should('have.text', 'Walk the dog')
  })

Mapping Automated Cypress Cucumber Tests to AIO Tests

The AIO Tests Case key can be added to the scenario name. If there are multiple case keys in a single scenario, then the result of one scenario will be updated to multiple AIO Tests cases.

...

Code Block
Feature: Settings Tests
  Scenario Outline: {TCId} Validate links work
    When I visit Settings page
    Then I see all configurable options
    When I click on {PageToTest}
    Then Profile {PageToTest} page opens with options
  Examples:
  |TCId     |PageToTest     |
  |NV-TC-11 |API Token      |
  |NV-TC-12 |Email Settings  |

Setup & Configuration

  1. Versions before Cypress 10 Register the plugin to the Cypress plugins file as below:

...

Code Block
// cypress.config.js
const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");
const { registerAIOTestsPlugin } = require('cypress-aiotests-reporter/src')

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      registerAIOTestsPlugin(on,config);
      // implement node event listeners here
    },
  },
 }

Configure

The AIO Tests Reporter config needs to be set in the env property of cypress.json. Or it can be programmatically modified in your plugins/index.js.

Depending on the Jira hosting, the authentication information needs to be provided as below.

Cloud

For Jira Cloud (eg. https://yourco.atlassian.net/..), the "cloud" property needs to be set in the env.aioTests config for authentication.

...

Code Block
// cypress.json
{
  "env": {
    "aioTests": {
      "enableReporting": true,
      "cloud": {
        "apiKey": "<your API KEY>"
      },
      "jiraProjectId": "SCRUM",
      "cycleDetails": {
        "createNewCycle": true,
        "cycleName": "Cypress first run from plugin",
        "cycleKey": "NVTES-CY-2",
        "folder": ["Cloud","Smoke Test Nightly"],
        "tasks": ["SCRUM-1","SCRUM-2]
      },
      "addNewRun": true,
      "addAttachmentToFailedCases": true,
      "createNewRunForRetries": true,
      "addTestBodyToComments": true
    }
  }
}

Server

For Jira Hosted or DataCenter versions, the "hosted" property needs to be set in the env.aioTests for authentication.
The "jiraUrl" needs to be specified with the base URL of the hosted Jira instance.

...

Code Block
// cypress.json
{
  "env": {
    "aioTests": {
      "enableReporting": true,
      "hosted" : {
        "jiraUrl": "https://jira.yourco.com",
        "jiraPAT": "PAT from Jira Tokens | JIRA_PAT as environment variable",
        "jiraUsername": "Jira Username. If PAT is specified, then username is not required",
        "jiraPassword": "Jira password, required if authentication is through username/password"
      },
      "jiraProjectId": "SERV",
      "cycleDetails": {
        "createNewCycle": true,
        "cycleName": "Cypress Nightly Run ",
        "cycleKey": "SERV-CY-2",
        "folder": ["Cloud","Smoke Test Nightly"],
        "tasks": ["SCRUM-1","SCRUM-2]
      },
      "addNewRun": true,
      "addAttachmentToFailedCases": false,
      "createNewRunForRetries": false,
      "addTestBodyToComments": true
    }
  }
}

Cypress 10 and above

For Cypress 10, the settings have moved to the cypress.config.js. Set the above aioTests configuration in the cypress.config.js as below:

Code Block
module.exports = defineConfig({
  env: {
    "aioTests": {
      "enableReporting": true,
      "cloud": { //Replace with server authentication if using Jira Server
        "apiKey": "apikey for cloud"
      },
      "jiraProjectId": "NVTES",
      "cycleDetails": {
        "createNewCycle": true,
        "cycleName": "Cypress first run from plugin",
        "cycleKey": "NVTES-CY-2",
        "folder": ["Cloud","Smoke Test Nightly"],
        "tasks": ["NVTES-1","NVTES-2]
      },
      "addNewRun": true,
      "addAttachmentToFailedCases": true,
      "createNewRunForRetries": true,
      "addTestBodyToComments": true
    },
  },
  e2e: {...
  }}
