It is important to enable actions/checkout@v2 step with fetch-depth: 0 to allow testomatio to compare tests in pull requests with tests in base.

Inputs (Configuration)

• framework - (required) Test framework to be used. Supported: mocha, codeceptjs'
• tests - (required) Glob pattern to match tests in a project, example: tests/**_test.js'
• token - (should be: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}) GitHub token to post comment with summary to current pull request
• typescript - enable TypeScript support
• has-tests-label - add a label when PR contains new tests. Set true or a label name to enable.
• no-tests-label - add a label when PR contains no new tests. Set true or a label name to enable.
• comment-on-empty - post a comment to PR when no tests added. Can be either boolean (for neutral message) or a custom message within a comment (markdown supported)
• close-on-empty - close PR when no tests added. Use with comment-on-empty to clarify this action
• comment-on-skipped - add custom message when new tests are skipped (markdown supported).
• close-on-skipped - close PR when introduced skipped tests. Use with comment-on-skipped to clarify this action
• enable-documentation - If set to true, test document will be created in wiki.
• wiki-doc-name - Name of the wiki document. By default it will use Test Document
• documentation-branch - Branch to create document on push. Uses default branch if this field is empty
• github-pat - Github Private access token to create document in wiki.

Examples

For creating test document

This example uses jest as example. Tests are located in tests/ directory. You can generate GH_PAT here and add the generated token in secrets of your repo.

If documentation branch is not provided, it will consider default branch of the repo.

CLI

Use this checker as CLI tool with any Continuous Integration service.

Run check-tests via npx:

1npx check-tests <framework> "<tests>" --no-skipped

Development

To change host of endpoint for receiving data, and set it to other than app.testomat.io use TESTOMATIO_URL environment variable:

TESTOMATIO_URL=http://local.testomat.io

This checker will fail a build if exclusive tests (with .only or fit or fdescribe found)

Arguments:

• test framework
• glob pattern to match tests in a project, example: tests/**_test.js'. It is important to include glob pattern in double quotes " so wildcard could be used correctly.

CLI Options:

• --no-skipped - fail when skipped tests found
• --typescript - enable typescript support
• -g, --generate-file <fileName> - Export test details to document
• -u, --url <url>, Github URL to get file link (URL/tree/master)

Example

Check tests for CodeceptJS

npx check-tests codeceptjs "tests/**_test.js"

Check tests for Protractor

npx check-tests protractor "spec/**.spec.js"

Check tests for Protractor with TypeScript

npx check-tests protractor "spec/**.spec.ts" --typescript

Check tests for Cypress.io

npx check-tests cypress "cypress/integration/**.js"

Check tests for Testcafe

npx check-tests testcafe "tests/**.js"

Sample Output

List CodeceptJS tests

When found .only test:

✗ npx check-tests mocha "test/**/**_test.js"

[[ Tests checker by testomat.io ]]
Error: Exclusive tests detected. `.only` call found in test/checkout/important_test.js:290
Remove `.only` to restore test checks

Using in Testomatio

This library is used by Testomatio to import tests.

Importing Into Project

Use TESTOMATIO environment variable with a valid API key to import data into a project. API key can be obtained on project settings page or on "Import From Source" page.

For example:

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js"

Test code

By default, check-test sends the code of the test hooks to the "client": before, beforeEach and after. In the "Codes" section you can see all the additional "context" of the test (Testomat.io).

To exclude hook code from a client test, use the --no-hooks option

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --no-hooks

Additional line number to the test code

To include line number code from a client test, use --line-numbers option. (By default Code section exclude "line number")

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --line-numbers

Import Parametrized Tests

It is possible to import parametrized tests if they use template literals with variables in thier names:

1['one', 'two', 'three'].forEach(() => {
2  it(`this is test number ${parameter}`);
3});

This test will be imported with its original name including a placeholder:

this is test number ${parameter}

When executed test will be reported with 3 results matched to the same test and param values will be added to the report.

Disable Detached Tests

If a test from a previous import was not found on next import it is marked as "detached". This is done to ensure that deleted tests are not staying in Testomatio while deleted in codebase.

To disable this behavior and don't mark anything on detached on import use --no-detached option

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --no-detached

This option could also be set via environment variable TESTOMATIO_NO_DETACHED=1. If you don't want to pass it each time, create .env file in the root dir of your project with this variable set.

Synchronous Import

By default check-tests doesn't wait for all tests to be processed. It sends request to Testomatio and exits. To wait for processing to finish use --sync option.

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --sync

Please note, that this will take a long time on a large codebase.

Auto-assign Test IDs in Source Code

To disable guess matching for tests it is recommend to use Testomatio IDs to map a test in source code to a test in Testomatio. Testomatio IDs can be put automatically into the test names into source code when --update-ids option is used:

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --update-ids

Tests imported with --update-ids will be processed in synchronouse mode, so the script will finish after all tests are processed.

Keep Test IDs Between Projects

To import tests with Test IDs set in source code into another project use --create option. In this case, a new project will be populated with the same Test IDs.

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --create

Without --create import will fail with a message that ID was not found.

Clean Test IDs

If you want to import the synced project as new project, you have to clean the test ids. To clean up test ids without connecting to Testomatio project use --purge option:

npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --purge

This method may be unsafe, as it cleans all @S* and @T* tags from tests and suites. So if you have a tag like @Test1234 this may also be removed. If you use this option make sure if all the test titles a proper before committing the tests in GIT.

Note: --purge is an alias of --unsafe-clean-ids option.

To clean only test ids set from a specific project use --clean-ids option instead:

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --clean-ids

TESTOMATIO is API key of a project with existing test ids.

Import Into a Branch

Tests can be imported into a specific branch if TESTOMATIO_BRANCH parameter is used. Branch is matched by its id. If branch was not found, it will be created.

TESTOMATIO_BRANCH=dev TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js"

Keep Structure of Source Code

When tests in source code have IDs assigned and those tests are imported, Testomat.io uses current structure in a project to put the tests in. If folders in source code doesn't match folders in Testomat.io project, existing structure in source code will be ignored. To force using the structure from the source code, use --keep-structure flag on import:

TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --keep-structure

Delete Empty Suites

If tests were marked with IDs and imported to already created suites in Testomat.io newly imported suites may become empty. Use --no-empty option to clean them up after import.

TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --no-empty

This prevents usage --keep-structure option.

Import Into a Specific Suite

To put all imported tests into a specific suite (folder) pass in TESTOMATIO_PREPEND_DIR environment variable:

TESTOMATIO_PREPEND_DIR="MyTESTS" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js"

This will use "MyTests" folder in a root of a project or create it if it doesn't exist.

It is also possible to specify a suite by its SID:

TESTOMATIO_SUITE="1111111" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js"

or use SID with prefix:

TESTOMATIO_SUITE="S1111111" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js"
TESTOMATIO_SUITE="@S1111111" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js"

Apply Labels to Tests

Use TESTOMATIO_LABELS to tag all imported tests with labels:

1# Apply single label
2TESTOMATIO_LABELS="smoke" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests jest "tests/**/*.test.js"
3
4# Apply multiple labels (comma-separated)
5TESTOMATIO_LABELS="smoke,regression,api" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests playwright "tests/**/*.spec.ts"
6
7# Apply labels with values using label:value format
8TESTOMATIO_LABELS="severity:high,feature:user_account,team:backend" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests jest "tests/**/*.test.js"
9
10# Mix simple labels and label:value pairs
11TESTOMATIO_LABELS="smoke,severity:critical,feature:auth,regression" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests playwright "tests/**/*.spec.ts"
12
13# Use alias for Python SDK compatibility
14TESTOMATIO_SYNC_LABELS="integration,e2e" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests cypress "cypress/integration/**/*.js"

Remove Path Prefixes

Use TESTOMATIO_WORKDIR to avoid redundant folder nesting:

1# Problem: src/tests/API/ creates nested paths in Testomat.io
2# Solution: Set working directory to remove src/tests prefix
3TESTOMATIO_WORKDIR=src/tests TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests playwright "**/*.spec.ts"
4
5# Monorepo: Import without parent paths
6TESTOMATIO_WORKDIR=apps/frontend TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests jest "**/*.test.js"

Group Tests by Category

Use TESTOMATIO_PREPEND_DIR to organize tests:

1# Group API tests under "API Tests" folder
2TESTOMATIO_PREPEND_DIR="API Tests" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests jest "src/api/**/*.test.js"
3
4# Separate by team
5TESTOMATIO_PREPEND_DIR="Frontend Team" TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests playwright "tests/ui/**/*.spec.ts"

Import to Specific Suite

Use TESTOMATIO_SUITE to target existing suites:

1# Import to existing suite by SID
2TESTOMATIO_SUITE=S1234567 TESTOMATIO=1111111 npx check-tests jest "features/**/*.test.js"

TypeScript

For TypeScript projects @babel/core and @babel/plugin-transform-typescript packages are used. GitHub Action already contains those modules, while CLI version of this tool tries to automatically install them on first run.

If you face issues parsing TypeScript file menitioning @babel/core or @babel/plugin-transform-typescript try to install them manually:

npm i @babel/core @babel/plugin-transform-typescript --save-dev

Now tests TypeScript can be imported with --typescript option:

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests CodeceptJS "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.js" --typescript

Test aliases

Test aliases are used to map tests in source code to tests in Testomat.io. By default test and it are parsed. But if you rename them or use another function to define tests (e.g. created/extended test object in Playwright), you can add alias (or multiple aliases, separated by comma) via --test-alias option:

TESTOMATIO=11111111 npx check-tests Playwright "**/*{.,_}{test,spec}.ts" --test-alias myTest,myCustomFunction

Programmatic API

Import Analyzer from module:

1const { Analyzer } = require('check-tests');
2
3const framework = 'jest';
4const pathToTests = './tests';
5const pattern = '**/*[._-]{test,spec}.{ts,js}';
6
7const analyzer = new Analyzer(framework, pathToTests);
8
9// to enable typescript...
10analyzer.withTypeScript();
11
12// to enable babel plugins
13analyzer.addPlugin('@babel/plugin-syntax-jsx');
14analyzer.addPlugin('@babel/plugin-syntax-flow');
15
16// to enable babel presets
17analyzer.addPreset('@babel/preset-react');
18analyzer.addPreset('@babel/preset-flow');
19
20analyzer.analyze(pattern);
21
22// stats on processed files
23const stats = analyzer.stats;
24
25// full info on parsed tests
26const data = analyzer.rawTests;

Debugging

Run import with DEBUG="testomatio:*" environment variable to get additional logs which may help understanding the cause of an issue. Usually it may happen because of a specific file that couldn't be parsed:

DEBUG="testomatio:*" npx check-tests@latest ....
