Test logs

Logs are still one of the best ways of debugging your software. When it comes to writing log lines, you end up getting lost in the GitHub Actions results. Foresight eases your pain and group tests, test suites along with their logs.

So that you can understand why even the most complex integration test failed, without losing your way on the GitHub Actions.

With the below configurations, you can start displaying your logs on the Foresight.

JUnit​

Maven Surefire plugin​

If you are using Maven Surefire to run tests, Foresight automatically captures the logs <system-out> and <system-err> fields in your tests.

info

Your Surefire version needs to be >=3.0.0-M5.

For more information, please refer:

Gradle​

If you are using Gradle, Foresight automatically captures the logs <system-out> and <system-err> fields in your tests.

You need to have reports section on your test section. 

test {
   useJUnitPlatform()
   reports {
       junitXml {
           outputPerTestCase = true // defaults to false
           mergeReruns = true // defaults to false
       }
   }
}

TestNG​

In addition to your system logs, if you are using TestNG's test reporter, Foresight captures:

Reporter.log("LOG_CONTENT")

Jest​

Foresight can parse JUnit formatted test reports. For Jest framework, you can use jest-junit reporter for generate Junit reports. If you are using Jest, you need to configure your report settings for Foresight to capture your test results.

Set an env variable​

You need to set the following environment

JEST_JUNIT_INCLUDE_SHORT_CONSOLE_OUTPUT=true

Configuring reporter​

Add reporter parameter jest-junit to your Jest configuration or your command.

--reporters="jest-junit"
info

Your Jest version needs to be >=6.4.0

Pytest​

Pytest automatically generates a JUnit test report if you add the following to your command.

--junit-xml=reportname.xml

In addition, you need to add the below to enable logging if your Pytest version is >=3.5.0.

-o junit_logging=all

Example command:

pytest -o junit_logging=all --junit-xml=abc.xml
