AskUIJestHtmlStepReporter

info

Due to restrictions of jest-html-reporters you can either have screenshots or video with this reporter but not both at the same time. For screenshots omit the beforeEach() and afterEach() hooks in jest.setup.ts. For video do not configure a reporter in your UiControlClient.

Install ffmpeg On Your System

To use this reporter you have to have ffmpeg installed on your system (including all necessary encoding libraries like libmp3lame or libx264).

Please follow the installation instructions for your system.

Enable Reporter in jest.setup.ts

Add the reporter to the UiControlClient in jest.setup.ts:

// Do not forget this import at the start of the file!
import { AskUIJestHtmlStepReporter } from "@askui/askui-reporters";
...
aui = await UiControlClient.build({
reporter: new AskUIJestHtmlStepReporter({
withScreenshots: 'always' as const, // See below for possible values
withDetectedElements: 'always' as const, // See below for possible values
})
});
...

You can pass a ReporterConfig object to the reporter to configure the level of detail for screenshots and detected elements:

  • onFailure (Default for both)
  • required
  • begin
  • always

Configure beforeEach() and afterEach() in jest.setup.ts

import path from "path";
import { AskUIJestHtmlStepReporter } from "@askui/askui-reporters";

beforeEach(async () => {
await aui.startVideoRecording();
});

afterEach(async () => {
await aui.stopVideoRecording();
const video = await aui.readVideoRecording();
await AskUIJestHtmlStepReporter.attachVideo(video);
});

Enable the Jest-Html-Reporters in jest.config.ts

Install jest-html-reporters environment:

npm install --save-dev jest-html-reporters
import type { Config } from "@jest/types";

const config: Config.InitialOptions = {
preset: "ts-jest",
testEnvironment: "node",
setupFilesAfterEnv: ["./helper/jest.setup.ts"],
sandboxInjectedGlobals: ["Math"],
reporters: ["default", "jest-html-reporters"],
};

// eslint-disable-next-line import/no-default-export
export default config;
