jenkins-mocha

Single command to run your Mocha unit tests with both XUnit and LCov output (for Jenkins).

Installation

jenkins-mocha should be added to your test codebase as a dev dependency. You can do this with:

$ npm install --save-dev jenkins-mocha

Alternatively you can manually add it to your package.json file:

{
  "devDependencies" : {
    "jenkins-mocha": "latest"
  }
}

then install with:

$ npm install --dev

Run

jenkins-mocha should replace your mocha command in npm test

{
    "scripts": {
        "test": "jenkins-mocha test/*"
    }
}

With coverage on (the default), you can pass a --cobertura option to the command to have nyc use the cobertura reporter

{
    "scripts": {
        "devtest": "jenkins-mocha --cobertura test/*"
    }
}

If you want to turn coverage reporting off entirely, and just run unit tests with mocha, you need to pass a --no-coverage option to the command

{
    "scripts": {
        "devtest": "jenkins-mocha --no-coverage test/*"
    }
}

Any other parameters added to the command will be passed directly to mocha.

If you need to configure nyc, you may create a .nycrc configuration file. Run nyc help config for details.

If you want to configure how node is invoked (if you have a giant coverage file), you can set v8 arguments via $(NODE_ARGS).

{
    "scripts": {
        "test": "NODE_ARGS='--max_old_space_size=4096' jenkins-mocha test/*"
    }
}

When npm-test is invoked, the module will:

• Create XUnit test results in $(TEST_DIR)
• Create LCov coverage in $(COVERAGE_DIR) with a HTML report at $(COVERAGE_DIR)\lcov-report

Default values are:

• $(ARTIFACTS_DIR) = ./artifacts
• $(TEST_DIR) = ./$(ARTIFACTS_DIR)/test
• $(COVERAGE_DIR) = ./$(ARTIFACTS_DIR)/coverage
