Testmo works with any test automation tool, including the behavior-driven development (BDD) testing framework. This quickstart guide provides an overview of how to report Cucumber test automation results to Testmo to implement .
Cucumber comes with full support for generating JUnit-style XML files, which has become a standard format to exchange test results between tools. This works with all languages and platforms supported by Cucumber.
You can simply use the built-in junit formatter of Cucumber to generate the relevant XML files.
That's it! 🎉 This will automatically analyze the XML result file, create a new test run in Testmo, submit all tests & results and mark the run as completed. There's no need to manually create any tests, map tests or IDs or build any custom API code. Everything is handled automatically for you.
In the above example, we first launched Cucumber to generate the XML file and then used our CLI tool to submit the results in a second step. As an improvement to the above example, we can ask our CLI tool to launch Cucumber (testmo then starts and waits for Cucumber to finish). This has the following additional benefits:
a) Capture full console output and send it to Testmo b) Accurately measure test times c) Record the Cucumber exit code
Now that you are familiar with submitting your Cucumber test results to Testmo, you might also find the following additional examples, topics and references useful for more advanced workflows.
This will run your tests with Cucumber and automatically write all test results to an XML file in the results directory. You can also learn more in the .
For JavaScript-based Cucumber tests, you can install the popular package and use this to generate the XML files.
You can also find additional command line options in the .
To submit your test results to Testmo, you simply use our cross-platform CLI tool. The CLI tool is distributed as an NPM package and is easy to install on any system. Simply install our official @testmo/testmo-cli NPM package:
We can now send the Cucumber test results to Testmo. To do this, make sure to in Testmo from your profile page. The API key is used to authenticate with Testmo to send the results. We can then use the testmo CLI tool so submit our results (note that we first set the TESTMO_TOKEN variable, which the tool expects):
