Protractor Cucumber HTML Report

In this blog post, we will show you how to generate HTML report using Protractor and Cucumber.

Protractor Cucumber HTML Report

Behavior-Driven Development helps us to test behaviors instead of implementations. We can use any BDD framework to follow Behavior-Driven Development. Generating HTML report after BDD scenarios execution is an important feature, and it helps to publish BDD result in a readable format.

In this blog post, we will show you how to generate HTML report using Protractor and Cucumber.

Configure Cucumber JSON format in conf.js

Protractor Configuration File

exports.config = {
  getPageTimeout: 60000,
  allScriptsTimeout: 500000,
  framework: 'custom',
  frameworkPath: require.resolve('protractor-cucumber-framework'),
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  specs: [
    'features/*/*/*.feature'
  ],

  baseURL: 'https://google.com',

  cucumberOpts: {
    format: ['json:reports/results.json', 'pretty'],
    require: ['features/*/*/steps.js','features/support/*.js'],
    tags: true,
    profile: false,
    'no-source': true
  }
};  

Installing grunt-protractor-cucumber-html-report plugin

Install grunt-protractor-cucumber-HTML-report plugin locally using the below command.

npm install grunt-protractor-cucumber-html-report --save-dev  

Create protractor-cucumber-html-report task in Gruntfile.js

Sample Gruntfile.js with grunt-protractor-runner and protractor-cucumber-html-report tasks

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    protractor: {
      options: {
        configFile: "conf.js",
        keepAlive: true,
        noColor: false,
        args: {

        }
      },
      your_target: {
        options: {
          configFile: "conf.js",
          keepAlive: true,
          args: {
            seleniumServerJar: 'node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar',
            chromeDriver: 'node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/chromedriver_2.22'
          }
        }
      },
    },

  'protractor-cucumber-html-report': {
    default_options: {
      options: {
        dest: 'reports',//Where you want to generate the HTML report.
        output: 'report.html',//File Name
        testJSONDirectory: 'reports'//Mention where you have generated JSON format.
      }
    }
  },

})

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-protractor-runner');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-protractor-cucumber-html-report');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['protractor:your_target','protractor-cucumber-html-report']);
};
  

Run registered Grunt tasks

This command executes the default tasks which are registered in Gruntfile.js

grunt default --cucumberOpts={"tags":"@smoke"}  

View your report

Once the Grunt tasks complete, you can see the HTML report in reports folder as mentioned in Gruntfile.js
