# JUnit Reporter for Mocha

[![Build Status][github-badge]][github-build]
[![npm][npm-badge]][npm-listing]

Produces JUnit-style XML test results.

## Installation

```shell
$ npm install @liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter --save-dev
```

or as a global module

```shell
$ npm install -g @liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter
```

## Usage

Run mocha with `@liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter`:

```shell
$ mocha test --reporter @liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter
```

This will output a results file at `./test-results.xml`.
You may optionally declare an alternate location for results XML file by setting
the environment variable `MOCHA_FILE` or specifying `mochaFile` in `reporterOptions`:

```shell
$ MOCHA_FILE=./path_to_your/file.xml mocha test --reporter @liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter
```

or

```shell
$ mocha test --reporter @liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter --reporter-options mochaFile=./path_to_your/file.xml
```

or

```javascript
var mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: '@liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        mochaFile: './path_to_your/file.xml'
    }
});
```

### Append properties to testsuite

You can also add properties to the report under `testsuite`. This is useful if you want your CI environment to add extra build props to the report for analytics purposes

```xml
<testsuites>
  <testsuite>
    <properties>
      <property name="BUILD_ID" value="4291"/>
    </properties>
    <testcase/>
    <testcase/>
    <testcase/>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>
```

To do so pass them in via env variable:

```shell
PROPERTIES=BUILD_ID:4291 mocha test --reporter @liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter
```

or

```javascript
var mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: '@liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        properties: {
            BUILD_ID: 4291
        }
    }
})
```

### Results Report

Results XML filename can contain `[hash]`, e.g. `./path_to_your/test-results.[hash].xml`. `[hash]` is replaced by MD5 hash of test results XML. This enables support of parallel execution of multiple `@liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter`'s writing test results in separate files.

In order to display full suite title (including parents) just specify `testsuitesTitle` option

```javascript
var mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: '@liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        testsuitesTitle: true,
        suiteTitleSeparatedBy: '.' // suites separator, default is space (' '), or period ('.') in jenkins mode
    }
});
```

If you want to **switch classname and name** of the generated testCase XML entries, you can use the `testCaseSwitchClassnameAndName` reporter option.

```javascript
var mocha = new Mocha({
    reporter: '@liquid-js/mocha-junit-reporter',
    reporterOptions: {
        testCaseSwitchClassnameAndName: true
    }
});
```

Here is an example of the XML output when using the `testCaseSwitchClassnameAndName` option:

| value             | XML output                                                                              |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `true`            | `<testcase name="should behave like so" classname="Super Suite should behave like so">` |
| `false` (default) | `<testcase name="Super Suite should behave like so" classname="should behave like so">` |

You can also configure the `testsuites.name` attribute by setting `reporterOptions.testsuitesTitle` and the root suite's `name` attribute by setting `reporterOptions.rootSuiteTitle`.

### System out and system err

The JUnit format defines a pair of tags - `<system-out/>` and `<system-err/>` - for describing a test's generated output
and error streams, respectively. It is possible to pass the test outputs/errors as an array of text lines:

```js
it ('should report output', function () {
  this.test.consoleOutputs = [ 'line 1 of output', 'line 2 of output' ];
});
it ('should report error', function () {
  this.test.consoleErrors = [ 'line 1 of errors', 'line 2 of errors' ];
});
```

Since this module is only a reporter and not a self-contained test runner, it does not perform
output capture itself. Thus, the author of the tests is responsible for providing a mechanism
via which the outputs/errors array will be populated.

If capturing only console.log/console.error is an option, a simple (if a bit hack-ish) solution is to replace
the implementations of these functions globally, like so:

```js
var util = require('util');

describe('my console tests', function () {
  var originalLogFunction = console.log;
  var originalErrorFunction = console.error;
  beforeEach(function _mockConsoleFunctions() {
    var currentTest = this.currentTest;
    console.log = function captureLog() {
      var formattedMessage = util.format.apply(util, arguments);
      currentTest.consoleOutputs = (currentTest.consoleOutputs || []).concat(formattedMessage);
    };
    console.error = function captureError() {
      var formattedMessage = util.format.apply(util, arguments);
      currentTest.consoleErrors = (currentTest.consoleErrors || []).concat(formattedMessage);
    };
  });
  afterEach(function _restoreConsoleFunctions() {
    console.log = originalLogFunction;
    console.error = originalErrorFunction;
  });
  it('should output something to the console', function() {
    // This should end up in <system-out>:
    console.log('hello, %s', 'world');
  });
});
```

Remember to run with `--reporter-options outputs=true` if you want test outputs in XML.

### Attachments

enabling the `attachments` configuration option will allow for attaching files and screenshots in [JUnit Attachments Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/JUnit+Attachments+Plugin) format.

Attachment path can be injected into the test object

```js
it ('should include attachment', function () {
  this.test.attachments = ['/absolut/path/to/file.png'];
});
```

If both attachments and outputs are enabled, and a test injects both consoleOutputs and attachments, then
the XML output will look like the following:

```xml
<system-out>output line 1
output line 2
[[ATTACHMENT|path/to/file]]</system-out>
```
