Mocha

Mocha is a powerful and flexible JavaScript testing framework that runs on Node.js and in the browser, making it suitable for testing both server-side and client-side applications. It supports various assertion libraries, allowing developers to write tests in a style that suits their preferences.

With the mocha-qase-reporter you can publish the results of your automated test runs to your Qase project using the public API.

Installation

To integrate Qase Reporter in your Mocha setup, follow these steps:

Activate the Mocha App

To activate the app, go to the Apps section in your workspace, and click on ‘Activate’

Switch to the ‘Access tokens’ tab, and create a new API token from here. Save the API token as we’ll need it for the next steps.

Add mocha-qase-reporter to your project

To install and add the reporter as a development dependency, run the following in node project:

npm install -D mocha-qase-reporter@beta

yarn add mocha-qase-reporter -D

Add the reporter to your mocha configuration file .mocharc.js:

module.exports = {  
  reporter: "mocha-qase-reporter",  
}

At the very least, the reporter will need two variables defined - your Mocha App’s Token, and the Qase Project code you want to publish your results to.

We will create a new file qase.config.json at the root of your project to add these values.

{  
  "debug": false,  
  "testops": {  
    "api": {  
      "token": "<app-token>"  
    },  
    "project": "<project-code>",  
    "run": {  
      "complete": true  
    }  
  }  
}

Please refer to this article for guidance on how to find your Project code in Qase.

Let’s verify the integration

We’ll use a simple test to check if the results are being published to your Qase project. Create a test/ directory in the root of your project and add the following test:

example.cy.js:

const assert = require('assert');

describe('Array', function() {  
  describe('#indexOf()', function() {  
    it('should return -1 when the value is not present', function() {  
      assert.equal([1, 2, 3].indexOf(4), -1);  
    });  
  });  
});

Now, let’s run the test

Execute the following command:

QASE_MODE=testops npx mocha

QASE_MODE=testops npx mocha

In the above command, we’re setting the reporter’s mode to ‘testops’ using the Environment variable QASE_MODE.
