cypress-testrail-simple

Simple upload of Cypress test results to TestRail

Install

Add this plugin as a dev dependency

# If using NPM
$ npm i -D cypress-testrail-simple
# If using Yarn
$ yarn add -D cypress-testrail-simple

Add the plugin to your Cypress plugin file

// cypress/plugins/index.js
module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-testrail-simple
  require('cypress-testrail-simple/src/plugin')(on)
}

Environment variables

When running the Cypress tests on CI, you need to provide the TestRail server variables through the environment variables. The following variables should be set:

TESTRAIL_HOST=
TESTRAIL_USERNAME=
; the user password or API key for the user
; API key is preferred
TESTRAIL_PASSWORD=
; Note: the project ID is not very sensitive value
TESTRAIL_PROJECTID=
; if you use suites, add a suite ID (with S or without)
TESTRAIL_SUITEID=...

If these variables are present, we assume the user wants to use the plugin. You can disable the plugin by passing an argument

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // skip loading the plugin
  require('cypress-testrail-simple/src/plugin')(on, true)
}

Bin commands

testrail-start-run

To start a new TestRail run

runId=$(npx testrail-start-run)

You can pass an optional test run name and description

runId=$(npx testrail-start-run "test run" "test run description")

You can redirect the run ID into a file

npx testrail-start-run > runId.txt

Arguments

--name optional name for the test run, alias -n
--description optional description for the test run, alias -d
--suite optional suite ID, alias -s
--spec optional globby pattern for finding specs, extracting case IDs (using the C\d+ regular expression), and starting a new TestRail run with those case IDs only. Alias -s. This option is very useful if only some test cases are automated using Cypress. See the workflow examples in .github/workflows/cases.yml and .circleci/config.yml.

npx testrail-start-run --name "test run" --description "test run description"
# prints the run id

For readability, you can split the command across multiple lines usually

npx testrail-start-run \
  --name "test run" \
  --description "test run description" \
  --spec "cypress/integration/featureA/**.js"

testrail-close-run

To close an open test run, pass the run ID as an argument or in the file ./runId.txt

# read the run ID from the command line argument
npx testrail-close-run 60
# read the run ID from the file runId.txt
npx testrail-close-run

Sending test results

During cypress run the plugin can send test results for each test case found in the test title using C\d+ regular expression. To send the results, you need to set the run ID as an environment variable TESTRAIL_RUN_ID or by having it in the file runId.txt

Debugging

This tool uses debug to output verbose logs. To see the logs, run it with environment variable DEBUG=cypress-testrail-simple.

Why?

Because cypress-testrail-reporter is broken in a variety of ways and does not let me open issues to report the problems.
