If your testing framework is mocha, SeaLights agent integrates directly with it and reports the test results to the server directly

Info

See 'Generating an Agent token' for instructions on how to generate a token

Here is a sample of configuring use instead of the command 'mocha --

...

recursive test'

Code Block
languagebash
themeEclipse
titleSample command
Unix:
./node_modules/.bin/npx slnodejs mocha --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --buildsessionidfile buildSessionId --teststage "Unit Tests" --useslnode2 -- --recursive test
 
Windows:
call .\node_modules\.bin\npx slnodejs mocha --tokenfile \path\to\sltoken.txt --buildsessionidfile buildSessionId --teststage "Unit Tests" --useslnode2 -- --recursive test
Note

  • "--recursive test" are sample parameters passed to mocha and should be replaced by your own

Also as

  • SeaLights runs as a mocha reporter, you should remove any parameters setting the reporter otherwise they will conflict

Also note

  • Note the double dash

delimits

  • delimiter (--) between the sealights options and parameters passed to mocha

Info

See 'Node.js Command Reference - Running tests using mocha' for full parameter details

Multiple Reporters Configuration

In case you’re already using a mocha reporter, like allure-mocha or mochawesome, it may conflict with the Sealights agent - which adds a reporter of its own (SeaLightsReporter) which passes the agent the test-events data.

A common solution is to configure the Multi-Reporters plugin:

  1. Install https://www.npmjs.com/package/mocha-multi-reporters

  2. Create a file config.json - with content similar to the one below (that allows sealights, mocha-allure, and JUnit reporters together) for example:

    Code Block
    {
    "reporterEnabled": "slnodejs/tsOutputs/mocha-reporter/index, allure-mocha, mocha-junit-reporter",
    "seaLightsReporterReporterOptions": {},
    "mochaJunitReporterReporterOptions": {
        "mochaFile": "results/junit-custom.xml"
    },
    "allureMochaReporterOptions": {
		"resultsDir": "results/allure"
	}
}

  3. When you run slnodejs mocha run it with the following additional parameters:

    Code Block
    npx slnodejs mocha --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --buildsessionidfile buildSessionId ... -- --reporter-options configFile=config.json
