Cucumber HTML report with Protractor

Question

I am using Protractor with Cucumber (js). I would like to generate report files just like with the Cucumber-JVM version. I have seen examples when using Protractor with Jasm

Answer 1

With the latest version of protractor (from version 1.5.0), you can now generate a JSON report. When I asked this question about 7 months ago that feature was not there.

All you need to do is add this to your protractor-config.json file.

resultJsonOutputFile: 'report.json'

Where report.json is the location of the output file.

Once you have that, you can use protractor-cucumber-junit (https://www.npmjs.com/package/protractor-cucumber-junit), cucumberjs-junitxml (https://github.com/sonyschan/cucumberjs-junitxml) or something similar to transform the JSON file into a valid XML file that Jenkins can display.

$ cat report.json | ./node_modules/.bin/cucumber-junit > report.xml

Hope this helps.
