❗️ Requirements

Resource	Description
Jest	A delightful JavaScript testing framework.
Allure 2 CLI	"A Java jar command line tool that turns Allure result files into beautiful Allure reports."

:rocket: Quick start

1. Add this package

1yarn add --dev jest-circus-allure-environment

2. Update jest.config.js

See the testEnvironment docs for configuration details.

1{
2  "testEnvironment": "jest-circus-allure-environment",
3  "testRunner": "jest-circus/runner"
4}

3. Run tests

1yarn test

4. Open the Allure report

1allure serve ./allure-results

:camera_flash: Allure reporting in your tests

To provide more information in your reports you can use Docblock pragmas within your tests. For types support you'll need some additional configuration.

1// simple.test.js
2
3test('2 + 3 is 5', () => {
4  /** My test description.
5   * @epic Implement addition functionality
6   * @tag Accounting
7   */
8
9  expect(2 + 3).toBe(5)
10})

🔧 Typescript & Intellisense setup

1. Support Typescript & intellisense by loading the module into your jest.setup.js file

1// jest.setup.js
2
3import 'jest-circus-allure-environment' // Typescript or ESM
4require('jest-circus-allure-environment') // CommonJS

2. Make sure your jest.setup.js file is properly configured.

See the setupFilesAfterEnv docs for configuration details.

1// jest.config.js
2
3{
4  "setupFilesAfterEnv": ["./jest.setup.js"]
5}

:gear: Options

Options that can be passed into the environmentOptions property of your jest.config.js

Parameter	Description	Default
resultsDir	Path where Allure result files will be written.	"allure-results"
jiraUrl	URL to Jira instance. Any @issue docblock pragmas will link to this URL.	undefined
tmsUrl	URL to TMS instance. Any @tms docblock pragmas will link to this URL.	undefined
environmentInfo	Key value pairs that will appear under the environment section of the Allure report	{}
categories	Array of custom categories you wish to see in the Allure report. See an example	[]
testPath	Path to your test files. This path will be subtracted from the Allure report when organizing tests into suites.	Jest.config.rootDir

📈 DocBlocks

You may set code comments inside your tests called DocBlocks, that can be parsed for specific allure report pragmas. These are the supported DocBlock pragmas you may add to a test.

🔍 Descriptions

Add descriptions that document the tested functionality.

1test('does something important, when triggered by user', () => {
2  /** This uses a 3rd party API that typically undergoes maintenance on Tuesdays.
3   */
4
5  ...
6})

🏷 Tag

Tag a test with a custom label.

Set multiple tags using a , deliminator.

1test('does something important, when triggered by user', () => {
2  /**
3   * @tag beta
4   * @tag feature-flagged, api-v3
5   */
6
7  ...
8})

👥 Owner

Set an owner for a test.

1test('does something important, when triggered by user', () => {
2  /**
3   * @owner ios-team
4   */
5
6  ..
7})

:part_alternation_mark: Severity

Mark tests with a severity rating to indicate the importance of the tested functionality in respect to the overall application.

Level	Description
blocker	Tests that if failing, will halt further development.
critical	Tests that must pass; or risk disrupting crucial application logic.
normal (default)	Tests that are of average importance to the overall application.
minor	Tests that if failing, should only effect a small subset of the application.
trivial	Tests that validate unreleased, disabled, or deprecated features.

Example of setting a test as "critical" severity

1test('does something important, when triggered by user', () => {
2  /**
3   * @severity critical
4   */
5
6  ...
7})

📇 Behaviors (epics, features, stories)

Mark tests with a behavior label to organize tests in a feature based hierarchy.

Level	Description
epic	Tests that if fail, will effect the expected functionality of an epic.
feature	Tests that if fail, will effect the expected functionality of a feature.
story	Tests that if fail, will effect the expected functionality of story.

Example:

1test('validation message appears, when email field is skipped', () => {
2  /**
3   * @epic Automate user sign up
4   * @feature Registration page
5   * @story Validate required registration fields before creating new user
6   */
7
8  ...
9})

🔗 Links (Jira and TMS)

Add Jira and TMS links to a test.

Level	Description
issue	Adds a link to the test report that will open an existing issue in Jira.
tms	Adds a link to the test report that will open an existing test case in your test management system.

Example:

1test('validation message appears, when email field is skipped', () => {
2  /**
3   * @issue DEBT-60
4   * @tms CORE-122
5   */
6
7  ...
8})

🎛 Global Allure API

An instance of the allure runtime will be available on the Node global variable. You can utilize it's APIs to provide custom reporting functionality.
