Using Node.js Agent - Running Tests
Gathering coverage and test information using the SeaLights Node.jsTest Listener is done in a few steps, we recommend to use the Lab ID for this. If your component does not yet support the Lab ID option, use the Build Session ID to connect between the test listener and the test runner:
Starting the Test Listener
First the SeaLights server needs to be notified that a test stage is starting.
Unix:
./node_modules/.bin/slnodejs start --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --teststage "Unit Tests"
Windows:
call .\node_modules\.bin\slnodejs start --tokenfile \path\to\sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --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.
The command is the same as you would use on the backend server. See 'Using Node.js Agents - Running backend server using SeaLights agent'
Upload report files
Once done running the tests you upload the report files to the SeaLights server
Unix:
./node_modules/.bin/slnodejs uploadReports --tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt --labid "<Lab ID>" --reportFile "/path/to/junit_report.xml"
Windows:
call .\node_modules\.bin\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
See 'Node.js Command Reference - Upload report files' for full parameter details
Ending the Test Stage
Finally notify the server that a test stage has ended.
