Nightwatch ATS reporter

A custom reporter for Nightwatch Javascript browser automation https://nightwatchjs.org/. This reporter allows you to push test results from a Nightwatch test run into ATS Test Explorer database using ATS HTTP DB logger.

How to setup

Install the package through NPM:

npm install @axway/nightwatch-ats-reporter --save-dev

Create a configuration file for Axway ATS HTTP DB Logger with name .ats.config and put it in project root folder:

module.exports = {
  dbHost: "localhost",
  dbName: "HTTP_TESTS",
  dbUser: "admin",
  dbPassword: "password",
  dbPort: "1433",
  dbLoggerUrl: "http://localhost:8080/ats-httpdblogger-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT/service/logger",
  productName: "HTTP Application",
  versionName: "1.0.0",
  buildName: "123"
};

Add the --reporter option to Nightwatch run command. Example:

Nightwatch 0.9.21

node ./node_modules/nightwatch/bin/runner --reporter node_modules/@axway/nightwatch-ats-reporter

Nightwatch 1.2.x

node ./node_modules/nightwatch/bin/runner --reporter node_modules/@axway/nightwatch-ats-reporter/index.js

Development

For local development, checkout the project and run npm install first. Dev environment can run against real ATS HTTP DB Logger instance or a mock client. If your IDE is VisualStudio Code, open ‘Debug’ (Ctrl+Shift+D) and choose between Start real and Start mock accordingly. For real instance you will need ATS HTTP DB Logger service and an .ats.config file with proper configurations. For both configurations, the test results are taken from /test/results_all.json. To change the test results file, locate and change this line in test/start.js:

.......
const file = 'test/results_all.json';
.......

To run without debugging, type npm run start in terminal.

Known issues

  • Uploading screenshots is not working. Currently in Nightwatch 0.9.21 results output object does not contain the screenshots file names.
  • Nightwatch 1.2.4 - suite timestamp is empty, no way to get the start time of the test run. Reporter runtime will use current time as test run start.
