Custom Reporter using Playwright API

Playwright Offers API to write custom test reports. A custom reporter is a class that implements specific methods to handle events during the test run. Playwright Reporter API can be implemented and the native reporter methods of API can overridden based on needs. Below is an example:

PlaywrightCustomReporter.js

class MyCustomReporter { onBegin(config, suite) { console.log(`Starting the test run with ${suite.allTests().length} tests`); } onSuiteBegin(suite) { console.log(`Starting suite: ${suite.title}`); } onSuiteEnd(suite) { console.log(`Finished suite: ${suite.title}`); } onTestBegin(test) { console.log(`Starting test: ${test.title}`); } onTestEnd(test, result) { console.log(`Finished test: ${test.title} with status ${result.status}`); if (result.error) { console.error(`Error: ${result.error.message}`); } } onTestFailure(test, result) { console.error(`Test failed: ${test.title}`); console.error(`Error: ${result.error.message}`); } onTestSuccess(test, result) { console.log(`Test passed: ${test.title}`); } onTestTimeout(test) { console.warn(`Test timed out: ${test.title}`); } // Called when a test's retry count is exhausted onTestRetry(test) { console.warn(`Test retried: ${test.title}`); } onEnd(result) { console.log(`Test run finished with status ${result.status}`); console.log(`Total tests: ${result.totalTests}`); console.log(`Passed: ${result.passedTests}`); console.log(`Failed: ${result.failedTests}`); } onStdOut(data) { process.stdout.write(data); } onStdErr(data) { process.stderr.write(data); } onStepBegin(test, step) { console.log('Step Begin:'); console.log('Test:', test); console.log('Step:', step); } onStepEnd(test, step, result) { console.log('Step End:'); console.log('Test:', test); console.log('Step:', step); console.log('Result:', result); } } export default MyCustomReporter;

This code defines a custom reporter class MyCustomReporter that implements various methods to track and log the progress of a test run. It's designed to be used with a testing framework, likely Playwright, where it provides detailed logs at different stages of the test execution process.

Here’s a brief explanation of each method:

  1. onBegin(config, suite): Logs the start of the test run, including the number of tests in the suite.

  2. onSuiteBegin(suite): Logs the start of a test suite.

  3. onSuiteEnd(suite): Logs the end of a test suite.

  4. onTestBegin(test): Logs the start of an individual test.

  5. onTestEnd(test, result): Logs the end of an individual test, including its status and any errors if they occurred.

  6. onTestFailure(test, result): Logs detailed information about a failed test.

  7. onTestSuccess(test, result): Logs a message when a test passes.

  8. onTestTimeout(test): Logs when a test times out.

  9. onTestRetry(test): Logs when a test is retried.

  10. onEnd(result): Logs the summary of the test run, including the status and counts of total, passed, and failed tests.

  11. onStdOut(data): Writes stdout output to the console.

  12. onStdErr(data): Writes stderr output to the console.

  13. onStepBegin(test, step): Logs the start of a test step, along with the test and step details.

There are primarily two ways to use the Custom Reporter API.

  1. Define in playwright.config.js/ts

  1. Passing the parameter while executing the test command

 

Advantages:

  • Moderate Customization: Offers flexibility to customize the report by hooking into test events, allowing you to capture specific details relevant to your project.

  • Integration with Workflow: Allows you to integrate the reports seamlessly with your existing CI/CD pipelines and workflows.

  • Detailed Insights: You can create reports that provide deeper insights into the test execution process, focusing on the aspects most relevant to your team.

Disadvantages:

  • Complexity: Requires more effort to configure and customize compared to using in-built or third-party reports.

  • Learning Curve: Understanding and effectively using the Custom Report API may require a learning curve, especially for those new to Playwright or reporting APIs.

  • Partial Flexibility: While more flexible than in-built options, you are still somewhat limited by the API's capabilities.
