Mochawesome Reporter

Overview

Mochawesome is a very popular Mocha reporter and it works out of the box with Nightwatch as well, when Mocha is being used as a test runner.

Usage

1. Use Mocha as test runner in Nightwatch

In order to use Mocha in Nightwatch you need to set the test_runner config property and set the type to mocha. Custom options for Mocha can also be specified:

nightwatch.conf.js
{
  // other settings...
  test_runner: {
    type : 'mocha',
    options : {
      ui : 'bdd',
      reporter : 'list'
    }
  }
}

2. Install mochawesome from NPM

npm i mochawesome --save-dev

3. Pass the --reporter argument

To use it as a reporter simply pass the --reporter mochawesome argument as follows:

npx nightwatch examples/tests/ --reporter mochawesome

Configure reporter options

Mochawesome reporter options can be defined in main Nightwatch config under the reporterOptions dictionary, inside the test_runner:

nightwatch.conf.js

{
  // ...
  test_runner: {
    type : 'mocha',
    options : {
      ui : 'bdd',
      reporter : 'mochawesome',
      reporterOptions: {
        reporterDir: './output'
      }
    }
  }
}
