Gathering coverage and test information using the SeaLights Node.jsTest Listener is done in a few steps.

There are 4 basic steps to gathering coverage and test information using the SeaLights Node.js Agent (slnodejs).

Start the test stage with slnodejs start ...
Run the Tests
Upload Test Reports
End the test stage with slnodejs end...

For all of the commands on this page, either the Lab ID OR the Build Session ID must be passed as a parameter. For each step, there is one example demonstrating use of the Lab ID and one example demonstrating the use of the Build Session ID.

With the exception of Unit Tests, we recommend using the Lab ID to connect between the test listener and the test runner.

Starting the Test Stage

First the SeaLights server needs to be notified that a test stage is starting.

Unix:
npx slnodejs start --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --teststage "Unit Tests"

Windows:
call npx slnodejs start --tokenfile \path\to\sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --teststage "Unit Tests"

Unix:
npx slnodejs start --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --buildsessionidfile buildSessionId --teststage "Unit Tests"

Windows:
call npx slnodejs start --tokenfile \path\to\sltoken.txt --buildsessionidfile buildSessionId --teststage "Unit Tests"

See 'Node.js Command Reference - Starting a test stage' for full parameter details

Running your tests

Functional Tests

Before running your functional tests you need to set up the backend server to receive the test footprints. See 'Using Node.js Agents - Running backend server using SeaLights agent'

Once set up you now run your tests normally while generating one or more JUnit XML result files to be reported to the SeaLights server.

Unit Tests

As the Unit Tests are not run against a backend server, you need to run the actual tests using the Sealights Node.js Agent while generating one or more JUnit XML result files to be reported to the SeaLights server. Note that both Junit and Coverage reports must be uploaded for SeaLights to reflect data for your Unit Tests.

For clarification, see: https://sealights.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DYC28w

Upload report files

Test Case JUnit Report

The slnodejs uploadReports command can be used to upload the junit.xml file

Unix:
npx slnodejs uploadReports --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --reportFile "/path/to/junit_report.xml"

Windows:
call npx slnodejs uploadReports --tokenfile \path\to\sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --reportFile "\path\to\junit_report.xml"

See 'Using Node.js Agents - Uploading multiple files' for information on how to upload multiple files

Coverage (nyc) Report

The slnodejs uploadReports command can be used to upload the coverage file generated by nyc

Ending the Test Stage

Finally notify the server that a test stage has ended.
