Set up test reporting with Jasmine

The following procedure demonstrates how to set up test reporting in AWS CodeBuild with the JasmineBDD testing framework.

The procedure requires the following prerequisites:

Add the jasmine-reporters package to the devDependencies section of your project's package.json file. This package has a collection of JavaScript reporter classes that can be used with Jasmine.

npm install --save-dev jasmine-reporters

If it's not already present, add the test script to your project's package.json file. The test script ensures that Jasmine is called when npm test is run.

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "npx jasmine"
  }
}

CodeBuild supports the following Jasmine test reporters:

A Node.js project with Jasmine will, by default, have a spec sub-directory, which contains the Jasmine configuration and test scripts.

To configure Jasmine to generate reports in the JunitXML format, instantiate the JUnitXmlReporter reporter by adding the following code to your tests.

var reporters = require('jasmine-reporters');

var junitReporter = new reporters.JUnitXmlReporter({
  savePath: <test report directory>,
  filePrefix: <report filename>,
  consolidateAll: true
});

jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(junitReporter);

To configure Jasmine to generate reports in the NunitXML format, instantiate the NUnitXmlReporter reporter by adding the following code to your tests.

var reporters = require('jasmine-reporters');

var nunitReporter = new reporters.NUnitXmlReporter({
  savePath: <test report directory>,
  filePrefix: <report filename>,
  consolidateAll: true
});

jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(nunitReporter)

The test reports are exported to the file specified by <test report directory>/<report filename>.

In your buildspec.yml file, add/update the following sections.

version: 0.2

phases:
  pre_build:
    commands:
      - npm install
  build:
    commands:
      - npm build
      - npm test

reports:
  jasmine_reports:
    files:
      - <report filename>
    file-format: JUNITXML
    base-directory: <test report directory>

If you are using the the NunitXml report format, change the file-format value to the following.

    file-format: NUNITXML
