Jasmine – Testmo

Testmo works with any test automation tool, including the popular Jasmine behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. This quickstart guide provides an overview of how to report Jasmine test automation results to Testmo.

Run Jasmine & generate XML file

Jasmine can generate JUnit-style XML files, which has become a standard format to exchange test results between tools. You just need to install the popular jasmine-reporters package. Simply register the JUnit reporter with Jasmine to enable it.

var path = require('path');
var reporters = require('jasmine-reporters');
var junitReporter = new reporters.JUnitXmlReporter({
    savePath: path.join(__dirname, '/results'),
    consolidateAll: false
});
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(junitReporter)

$ jasmine

This will run your Jasmine tests and automatically write all test results to XML files in the results directory. You can learn more about available configuration options in the package documentation.

Submit test results to Testmo

To submit your test results to Testmo, you simply use our cross-platform testmo CLI tool. The CLI tool is distributed as an NPM package and is easy to install on any system. Simply install our official @testmo/testmo-cli NPM package:

$ npm install -g @testmo/testmo-cli
$ testmo -h

Usage: testmo [options] [command]
[...]

We can now send the Jasmine test results to Testmo. To do this, make sure to generate an API key in Testmo from your profile page. The API key is used to authenticate with Testmo to send the results. We can then use the testmo CLI tool so submit our results (note that we first set the TESTMO_TOKEN variable, which the tool expects):

Full example

Single line

Windows

$ export TESTMO_TOKEN=********
$ testmo automation:run:submit \
  --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net \
  --project-id 1 \
  --name "Jasmine test run" \
  --source "unittests" \
  --results results/*.xml

If you run this example on a single command line, make sure to remove the backspace:

$ export TESTMO_TOKEN=********
$ testmo automation:run:submit --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net --project-id 1 --name "Jasmine test run" --source "unittests" --results results/*.xml

On Windows, the command line uses a slightly different syntax to set a variable:

> set TESTMO_TOKEN=********
> testmo automation:run:submit --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net --project-id 1 --name "Jasmine test run" --source "unittests" --results results/*.xml

See command output

Collecting log files ..
Found 1 result file with a total of 855 tests
Created new automation run (ID: 254)
Created new thread (ID: 608)
Sending tests to Testmo ..
Uploading: [|||||||||||||||||||||||||] 100% | ETA: 0s | 855/855 tests
Successfully sent tests and completed run
Marked the run as completed

That's it! 🎉 This will automatically analyze the XML result file, create a new test run in Testmo, submit all tests & results and mark the run as completed. There's no need to manually create any tests, map tests or IDs or build any custom API code. Everything is handled automatically for you.

➡️ Bonus: Launch Jasmine with Testmo CLI

In the above example, we first launched Jasmine to generate the XML file and then used our CLI tool to submit the results in a second step. As an improvement to the above example, we can ask our CLI tool to launch Jasmine (testmo then starts and waits for Jasmine to finish). This has the following additional benefits:

a) Capture full console output and send it to Testmo

b) Accurately measure test times

c) Record the Jasmine exit code

Launch Jasmine with CLI tool

We can ask our CLI tool to launch Jasmine, so we can capture the console output and more:

$ export TESTMO_TOKEN=********
$ testmo automation:run:submit \
  --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net \
  --project-id 1 \
  --name "Jasmine test run" \
  --source "unittests" \
  --results results/*.xml \
  -- npx jasmine
    ^ space!
