Vitest JSON Test Results Report

Save Vitest test results as a JSON file

A Vitest test reporter to create test reports that follow the CTRF standard.

Common Test Report Format ensures the generation of uniform JSON test reports, independent of programming languages or test framework in use.

Features

• Generate JSON test reports that are CTRF compliant
• Straightforward integration with Vitest

What is CTRF?

CTRF is a universal JSON test report schema that addresses the lack of a standardized format for JSON test reports.

Consistency Across Tools: Different testing tools and frameworks often produce reports in varied formats. CTRF ensures a uniform structure, making it easier to understand and compare reports, regardless of the testing tool used.

Language and Framework Agnostic: It provides a universal reporting schema that works seamlessly with any programming language and testing framework.

Facilitates Better Analysis: With a standardized format, programmatically analyzing test outcomes across multiple platforms becomes more straightforward.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @d2t/vitest-ctrf-json-reporter

Add the reporter to your vitest.config.js file:

reporters: ['default', ['@d2t/vitest-ctrf-json-reporter', {}]]

Run your tests:

npx vitest

You'll find a JSON file named ctrf-report.json in the ctrf directory.

Reporter Options

The reporter supports several configuration options:

reporter: [

      outputDir: 'custom-directory', // Optional: Output directory path. Defaults to 'ctrf'.
      minimal: true, // Optional: Generate a minimal report. Defaults to 'false'. Overrides screenshot and testType when set to true
      testType: 'unit', // Optional: Specify the test type (e.g., 'unit', 'component'). Defaults to 'unit'.
      appName: 'MyApp', // Optional: Specify the name of the application under test.
      appVersion: '1.0.0', // Optional: Specify the version of the application under test.
