cypress-plugins: Not able to execute npx cypress-slack-reporter - `find mochareports`

Hi!

Thanks so much creating this plugin! 🥇 💯 👍

I’m having issues running the execution part npx cypress-slack-reporter

npx cypress-slack-reporter Error: Cannot find test report @ /Users/ronakchovatiya/Documents/Work/.../mochareports

Specifically Set the following environment variables in your localhost or CI configuration. 🤔

i've created config.env.test file with my slack webhook $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL - The full URL you created in the last step where does the export go? $ export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=yourWebhookUrlHere -

Execution $ npx cypress-slack-reporter --help - this works

Steps performed

yarn add cypress-slack-reporter --dev
yarn add mocha @5.4.2 (instead of the latest 6 which gave error)
yarn Added all of mochawesome reports (if i add the --reporter flag it works and i do get a html report)
Created Slack app and Webhook URL / Oauth
added code snippets for cypress.json and reporterOpts.json
I’m not using CIRCLE CI - need it to just run locally for now then will add gitlab later

Guess the main issue I’m faceing not know how to hook up the config.test.env file in my react app and error message for not finding mochareports i even created folder with same name in the specified place.

P.S - i’ve tried the same steps for the example repo you’ve created react-ts-testing-example Which has all setup - i am able to run the website locally and normal cypress test pass… But 😓 not able to run npx cypress-slack-reporter

System Info

MacOS Cypress : 3.3.0 “cypress-slack-reporter”: “^0.2.6”, “mocha-multi-reporters”: “^1.1.7”, “mochawesome”: “^3.1.2”, “mochawesome-merge”: “^1.0.7”, “mochawesome-report-generator”: “^3.1.5”,

Cheers buddy! Glad it has worked for you! Good luck with Edge!

Thanks for the offer of a coffee! I’ve only been to America once (to NYC for a work conference) but plan on going out there with the wife soon, so you never know, might take you up on that 😆

ahhh right, yeah that’ll do it, if you run cypress, with the reporterOpts as described in the readme, you would need to do the following to generate the necessary reports

combine-reports:
	npx mochawesome-merge --reportDir cypress/reports/mocha > mochareports/report.json

generate-report:
	npx marge mochareports/report.json -f report -o mochareports

slack-alert:
	npx cypress-slack-reporter --logger

If you want to test it out, pop these two files in your mochareports folder and you should be able to send the slack message without needing to run cypress, or generate any reports 😃

Hey buddy, thanks for using my plugin! woop woop!

Let’s see what we can sort.

yarn add mocha @5.4.2 (instead of the latest 6 which gave error) -

Yeah Mocha 6 errors with mocha-multi-reporters, I have fixed it in a fork, and it is available here https://www.npmjs.com/package/cypress-multi-reporters

i’ve created config.env.test file with my slack webhook $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL - The full URL you created in the last step where does the export go? $ export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=yourWebhookUrlHere -

config.env.test is actually used for the projects tests, and isn’t read by the npm module.

The plugin reads SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL with process.env here

You need it available to the shell you are executing your program from.

if you run the command export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/AAA/BBB/CCC at the command line, and then run echo $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL it should return your incoming webhook. However we need to look at why we can’t find the report file(s).

I’m having issues running the execution part npx cypress-slack-reporter

npx cypress-slack-reporter Error: Cannot find test report @ /Users/ronakchovatiya/Documents/Work/.../mochareports

If you run it with npx cypress-slack-reporter --logger, it will output the directory we are trying to read the report file from.

The report folder will need 2 things, a mochawesome html report, and a mochawesome json report. It uses the json report to ascertain the test results, and choose which message to send, and the html report is used when constructing the artefact URL’s from circleci.

Let me know how it goes!
