A WebdriverIO plugin. Adapter for CucumberJS v5 testing framework.
The easiest way is to keep @wdio/cucumber-framework as a devDependency in your package.json, via:
npm install @wdio/cucumber-framework --save-devInstructions on how to install WebdriverIO can be found here.
Following code shows the default wdio test runner configuration...
// wdio.conf.js
module.exports = {
// ...
framework: 'cucumber',
cucumberOpts: {
timeout: 10000
}
// ...
};Show full backtrace for errors.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Require modules prior to requiring any support files.
Type: String[]
Default: []
Example: ['@babel/register'] or [['@babel/register', { rootMode: 'upward', ignore: ['node_modules'] }]]
Abort the run on first failure.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Only execute the scenarios with name matching the expression (repeatable).
Type: REGEXP[]
Default: []
Require files containing your step definitions before executing features. You can also specify a glob to your step definitions.
Type: String[]
Default: []
Example: [path.join(__dirname, 'step-definitions', 'my-steps.js')]
Paths to where your support code is, for ESM.
Type: String[]
Default: []
Example: [path.join(__dirname, 'step-definitions', 'my-steps.js')]
Fail if there are any undefined or pending steps
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Only execute the features or scenarios with tags matching the expression. Note that untagged
features will still spawn a Selenium session (see issue webdriverio/webdriverio#1247).
Please see the Cucumber documentation for more details.
If passing as a command-line argument, compound expressions may need to be enclosed in three sets of double quotes if WebdriverIO is invoked using npx on Windows.
E.g.: npx wdio wdio.config.js --cucumberOpts.tags """@Smoke and not @Pending"""
Type: String
Default: ``
Timeout in milliseconds for step definitions.
Type: Number
Default: 30000
Specify the number of times to retry failing test cases.
Type: Number
Default: 0
Only retries the features or scenarios with tags matching the expression (repeatable). This option requires '--retry' to be specified.
Type: RegExp
Default language for your feature files
Type: String
Default: en
Run tests in defined / random order
Type: String
Default: defined
Name and output file path of formatter to use. WebdriverIO primarily supports only the Formatters that writes output to a file.
Type: string[]
Options to be provided to formatters
Type: object
Add cucumber tags to feature or scenario name
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Please note that this is a @wdio/cucumber-framework specific option and not recognized by cucumber-js itself
Treat undefined definitions as warnings.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Please note that this is a @wdio/cucumber-framework specific option and not recognized by cucumber-js itself
Treat ambiguous definitions as errors.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Please note that this is a @wdio/cucumber-framework specific option and not recognized by cucumber-js itself
Only execute the features or scenarios with tags matching the expression. Note that untagged
features will still spawn a Selenium session (see issue webdriverio/webdriverio#1247).
Please see the Cucumber documentation for more details.
If passing as a command-line argument, compound expressions may need to be enclosed in three sets of double quotes if WebdriverIO is invoked using npx on Windows.
E.g.: npx wdio wdio.config.js --cucumberOpts.tagExpression """@Smoke and not @Pending"""
Type: String
Default: ``
Please note that this option would be deprecated in future. Use tags config property instead
Specify the profile to use.
Type: string[]
Default: []
Kindly take note that only specific values (worldParameters, name, retryTagFilter) are supported within profiles, as cucumberOpts takes precedence. Additionally, when using a profile, make sure that the mentioned values are not declared within cucumberOpts.
Cucumber provides a feature to publish your test run reports to https://reports.cucumber.io/, which can be controlled either by setting the publish flag in cucumberOpts or by configuring the CUCUMBER_PUBLISH_TOKEN environment variable. However, when you use WebdriverIO for test execution, there's a limitation with this approach. It updates the reports separately for each feature file, making it difficult to view a consolidated report.
To overcome this limitation, we've introduced a promise-based method called publishCucumberReport within @wdio/cucumber-framework. This method should be called in the onComplete hook, which is the optimal place to invoke it. publishCucumberReport requires the input of the report directory where cucumber message reports are stored.
You can generate cucumber message reports by configuring the format option in your cucumberOpts. It's highly recommended to provide a dynamic file name within the cucumber message format option to prevent overwriting reports and ensure that each test run is accurately recorded.
Before using this function, make sure to set the following environment variables:
- CUCUMBER_PUBLISH_REPORT_URL: The URL where you want to publish the Cucumber report. If not provided, the default URL 'https://messages.cucumber.io/api/reports' will be used.
- CUCUMBER_PUBLISH_REPORT_TOKEN: The authorization token required to publish the report. If this token is not set, the function will exit without publishing the report.
Here's an example of the necessary configurations and code samples for implementation:
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'
import { publishCucumberReport } from '@wdio/cucumber-framework';
export const config = {
// ... Other Configuration Options
cucumberOpts: {
// ... Cucumber Options Configuration
format: [
['message', `./reports/${uuidv4()}.ndjson`],
['json', './reports/test-report.json']
]
},
async onComplete() {
await publishCucumberReport('./reports');
}
}Please note that ./reports/ is the directory where cucumber message reports will be stored.
