Buildkite Collectors for JavaScript
Official Buildkite Test Engine collectors for JavaScript test frameworks ✨
⚒ Supported test frameworks: Jest, Jasmine, Mocha, Cypress, Playwright, and more coming soon.
📦 Supported CI systems: Buildkite, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and others via the BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_*
environment variables.
👉 Installing
Create a test suite, and copy the API token that it gives you.
Add the
buildkite-test-collector
package:# If you use npm: npm install --save-dev buildkite-test-collector # or, if you use yarn: yarn add --dev buildkite-test-collector
Add the Buildkite test collector to your testing framework:
Jest
Update your Jest configuration:
// jest.config.js // Send results to Test Engine reporters: [ 'default', 'buildkite-test-collector/jest/reporter' ], // Enable column + line capture for Test Engine testLocationInResults: true
If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.
// jest.config.js // Send results to Test Engine reporters: [ "default", [ "buildkite-test-collector/jest/reporter", { token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR }, ], ];
Vitest
Update your Vitest configuration:
```js // vitest.config.js OR vite.config.js
test: {
// Send results to Test Engine
reporters: [
'default',
'buildkite-test-collector/vitest/reporter'
],
// Enable column + line capture for Test Engine
includeTaskLocation: true,
}
```
If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.
```js
// vitest.config.js OR vite.config.js
test: {
// Send results to Test Engine
reporters: [
'default',
[
"buildkite-test-collector/vitest/reporter",
{ token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR },
],
],
}
```
### Jasmine
[Add the Buildkite reporter to Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io/setup/nodejs.html#reporters):<br>
```js
// SpecHelper.js
var BuildkiteReporter = require("buildkite-test-collector/jasmine/reporter");
var buildkiteReporter = new BuildkiteReporter();
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(buildkiteReporter);
```
If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.
```js
// SpecHelper.js
var buildkiteReporter = new BuildkiteReporter(undefined, {
token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR,
});
```
### Mocha
[Install mocha-multi-reporters](https://github.com/stanleyhlng/mocha-multi-reporters) in your project:<br>
```
npm install mocha-multi-reporters --save-dev
```
and configure it to run your desired reporter and the Buildkite reporter
```js
// config.json
{
"reporterEnabled": "spec, buildkite-test-collector/mocha/reporter"
}
```
Now update your test script to use the buildkite reporter via mocha-multi-reporters:
```js
// package.json
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha --reporter mocha-multi-reporters --reporter-options configFile=config.json"
},
```
If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.
Since the reporter options are passed in as a json file, we ask you to put the environment variable name as a string value in the `config.json`, which will be retrieved using [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) in the mocha reporter.
```js
// config.json
{
"reporterEnabled": "spec, buildkite-test-collector/mocha/reporter",
"buildkiteTestCollectorMochaReporterReporterOptions": {
"token_name": "CUSTOM_ENV_VAR_NAME"
}
}
```
### Playwright
Update your [Playwright configuration](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-configuration):<br>
```js
// playwright.config.js
// Send results to Test Engine
reporter: [
['line'],
['buildkite-test-collector/playwright/reporter']
],
```
If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the report options.
```js
// jest.config.js
// Send results to Test Engine
reporter: [
['line'],
['buildkite-test-collector/playwright/reporter', { token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR },]
],
```
If you would like to pass execution tags through to Test Engine, then you can use Playwright's tagging syntax as follows:
```
test('has tags', { tag: ['@type:feature'] }, ...)
```
This will be threaded through to Test Engine as an execution tag with key set to `type` and value set to `feature`.
Cypress
Update your Cypress configuration:
// cypress.config.js
// Send results to Test Engine
reporter: "buildkite-test-collector/cypress/reporter",
If you would like to pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, you can do so using the reporterOptions.
// cypress.config.js
// Send results to Test Engine
reporterOptions: {
token_name: "CUSTOM_ENV_VAR_NAME"
}
Run your tests locally:
env BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_TOKEN=xyz npm test
Add the
BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_TOKEN
secret to your CI, push your changes to a branch, and open a pull request 🎉git checkout -b add-bk-test-engine git commit -am "Add Buildkite Test Engine" git push origin add-bk-test-engine
📓 Notes
This jest collector uses the onRunComplete
hook to report test results to the Buildkite API. This interferes with the --forceExit
CLI option and interrupts the request that sends tests results, meaning that no data will be available for your test suite. It's recommended to use --detectOpenHandles
to find any hanging process and clean them up and remove the use of --forceExit
.
🔍 Debugging
To enable debugging output, set the BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_DEBUG_ENABLED
environment variable to true
.
🔜 Roadmap
See the GitHub 'enhancement' issues for planned features. Pull requests are always welcome, and we’ll give you feedback and guidance if you choose to contribute 💚
⚒ Developing
After cloning the repository, install the dependencies:
npm install
And run the tests:
npm test
Useful resources for developing collectors include the Buildkite Test Engine docs and the RSpec and Minitest collectors.
