{
"cypress/integration/spec.js": {
"works": "passed",
"is pending": "pending"
},
"totals": {
"suites": 0,
"tests": 2,
"failed": 0,
"passed": 1,
"pending": 1,
"skipped": 0
}
}Options
filename
By default, this plugin saves the JSON result into "results.json" file. You can change the output filename using the filename option
// https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-json-results
require('cypress-json-results')({
on,
filename: 'output.json',
})Note: the plugin assumes the output folder already exists
You can disable writing a file by using the option filename: false.
updateMarkdownFile
You can automatically update a Markdown table inside the given file with the test counts. See the section below Cypress test counts for an example. The table should be surrounded with HTML comments
<!-- cypress-test-counts -->
Test status | Count
---|---
Passed | 6
Failed | 0
Pending | 1
Skipped | 0
**Total** | 7
<!-- cypress-test-counts-end -->
Tip: prevent the Prettier from messing with the formatting by surrounding the table with ignore comments, see How to configure Prettier and VSCode.
<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
<!-- cypress-test-counts -->
... table text ...
<!-- cypress-test-counts-end -->
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
githubActionsSummary
If you are running the tests using GitHub Actions, you can output a summary table.
require('cypress-json-results')({
on,
filename: false, // do not write JSON file
githubActionsSummary: 'spec',
})Value githubActionsSummary: 'spec' writes a single row per spec file.
Value githubActionsSummary: 'test' writes a single row per test.
