Generating test results and coverage reports in Jenkins, using Yeoman and Mocha

Question

I am starting a new project, and investigating Yeoman and Mocha for use on the project. We use Jenkins for CI.

So far, I have figured out how to get client side testing working, but I am struggling to generate test results (and eventually coverage reports) that can be tracked by Jenkins. Has anybody successfully done this?

Answer 1

The xunit reporter works well, for generating test reports.

Command line:

mocha -R xunit | grep "<" > reports/mocha.xml

With Jenkins, just 'publish JUnit test result report', it should work.

But, I'm still finding a solution to publish the coverage report.

Answer 2

I have been able to add code coverage reports to my Jasmine tests using testem. Testem seems to work with Mocha too. https://github.com/airportyh/testem

Follow the instructions on the read me file. It explains how to use testem ci in continuous integration mode.

You will need to get the tap plugin - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/TAP+Plugin - from jenkins.
