Jasmine Custom Reporter Documentation

What is it?

This project is a custom Jasmine reporter that will output spec results, organized by suite, to a file location you specify, as JSON.

Why?

I had a project using Jasmine/Protractor that required that I have a parsable version of the test results. The custom Jasmine reporters I could find only gave options to output to the common formats (JUnit, NUnit, TeamCity, HTML). Since I need to parse this data within JavaScript, it made sense to have a JSON representation of my test results.

Protractor does technically provide an option to export results as JSON using the resultJsonOutputFile option, but the data provided is limited. Additionally, I had a need to run Protractor multiple times and dynamically assign the test results output filename each time, which cannot currently be done with Protractor (config can't be modified at run-time).

How to use

Install

npm install jasmine-json-test-reporter --save-dev

Jasmine Usage

var JSONReporter = require('jasmine-json-test-reporter');
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new JSONReporter({
	file: 'jasmine-test-results.json',
	beautify: true,
	indentationLevel: 4 // used if beautify === true
}));

Protractor/Jasmine Usage

// in Protractor conf
var JSONReporter = require('jasmine-json-test-reporter');

...

framework: 'jasmine2',
onPrepare: function() {
	jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new JSONReporter({
		file: 'jasmine-test-results.json',
		beautify: true,
		indentationLevel: 4 // used if beautify === true
	}));
}
