This Client is to communicate with the Report Portal on Node.js.

Library is used only for implementors of custom listeners for ReportPortal.

Examples for test framework integrations from the list above described in examples repository.

The latest version is available on npm:

npm install @reportportal/client-javascript

const RPClient = require('@reportportal/client-javascript');

const rpClient = new RPClient({
    apiKey: 'reportportalApiKey',
    endpoint: 'http://your-instance.com:8080/api/v1',
    launch: 'LAUNCH_NAME',
    project: 'PROJECT_NAME'
});

rpClient.checkConnect().then((response) => {
    console.log('You have successfully connected to the server.');
    console.log(`You are using an account: ${response.fullName}`);
}, (error) => {
    console.log('Error connection to server');
    console.dir(error);
});

When creating a client instance, you need to specify the following options:

The client supports an asynchronous reporting. If you want the client to work asynchronously change v1 to v2 in addresses in endpoint.

Each method (except checkConnect) returns an object in a specific format:

{
    tempId: '4ds43fs', // generated by the client id for further work with the created item
    promise: Promise // An object indicating the completion of an operation
}

The client works synchronously, so it is not necessary to wait for the end of the previous requests to send following ones.

There is a timeout on axios requests. If for instance the server your making a request to is taking too long to load, then axios timeout will work and you will see the error 'Error: timeout of 30000ms exceeded'.

You can simply change this timeout by adding a timeout property to restClientConfig with your desired numeric value (in ms) or 0 to disable it.

checkConnect - asynchronous method for verifying the correctness of the client connection

rpClient.checkConnect().then((response) => {
    console.log('You have successfully connected to the server.');
    console.log(`You are using an account: ${response.fullName}`);
}, (error) => {
    console.log('Error connection to server');
    console.dir(error);
});

startLaunch - starts a new launch, return temp id that you want to use for the all items within this launch.

const launchObj = rpClient.startLaunch({
    name: 'Client test',
    startTime: rpClient.helpers.now(),
    description: 'description of the launch',
    attributes: [
        {
            'key': 'yourKey',
            'value': 'yourValue'
        },
        {
            'value': 'yourValue'
        }
    ],
    //this param used only when you need client to send data into the existing launch
    id: 'id'
});
console.log(launchObj.tempId);

The method takes one argument:

• launch data object:

To get the real launch ID (also known as launch UUID from database) wait for the returned promise to finish.

const launchObj = rpClient.startLaunch();
launchObj.promise.then((response) => {
    console.log(`Launch real id: ${response.id}`);
}, (error) => {
    console.dir(`Error at the start of launch: ${error}`);
})

As system attributes, this method sends the following data (these data are not for public use):

• client name, version;
• agent name, version (if given);
• browser name, version (if given);
• OS type, architecture;
• RAMSize;
• nodeJS version;

ReportPortal is supporting now integrations with more than 15 test frameworks simultaneously. In order to define the most popular agents and plan the team workload accordingly, we are using Google Analytics.

ReportPortal collects only information about agent name, version and version of Node.js. This information is sent to Google Analytics on the launch start. Please help us to make our work effective. If you still want to switch Off Google Analytics, please change env variable. 'REPORTPORTAL_CLIENT_JS_NO_ANALYTICS=true'

finishLaunch - finish of the launch. After calling this method, you can not add items to the launch. The request to finish the launch will be sent only after all items within it have finished.

// launchObj - object returned by method 'startLaunch'
const launchFinishObj = rpClient.finishLaunch(launchObj.tempId, {
    endTime: rpClient.helpers.now()
});

The method takes two arguments:

• launch tempId (returned by the method startLaunch)
• data object:

getPromiseFinishAllItems - returns promise that contains status about all data has been sent to the reportportal. This method needed when test frameworks don't wait for async methods until finished.

// jasmine example. tempLaunchId - tempId of the launch started by the current client process
agent.getPromiseFinishAllItems(agent.tempLaunchId).then(() => done());

updateLaunch - updates the launch data. Will send a request to the server only after finishing the launch.

// launchObj - object returned by method 'startLaunch'
rpClient.updateLaunch(
    launchObj.tempId,
  {
        description: 'new launch description',
        attributes: [
            {
                key: 'yourKey',
                value: 'yourValue'
            },
            {
                value: 'yourValue'
            }
        ],
        mode: 'DEBUG'
    }
);

The method takes two arguments:

• launch tempId (returned by the method 'startLaunch')
• data object - may contain the following fields: description, attributes, mode. These fields can be looked up in the method startLaunch.

startTestItem - starts a new test item.

// launchObj - object returned by method 'startLaunch'
const suiteObj = rpClient.startTestItem({
        description: makeid(),
        name: makeid(),
        startTime: rpClient.helpers.now(),
        type: 'SUITE'
    }, launchObj.tempId);
const stepObj = rpClient.startTestItem({
        description: makeid(),
        name: makeid(),
        startTime: rpClient.helpers.now(),
        attributes: [

            {
                key: 'yourKey',
                value: 'yourValue'
            },
            {
                value: 'yourValue'
            }
        ],
        type: 'STEP'
    }, launchObj.tempId, suiteObj.tempId);

The method takes three arguments:

• test item data object:

• launch tempId (returned by the method startLaunch)
• parent test item tempId (optional) (returned by method startTestItem)

finishTestItem - finish of the test item. After calling this method, you can not add items to the test item. The request to finish the test item will be sent only after all test items within it have finished.

// itemObj - object returned by method 'startTestItem'
rpClient.finishTestItem(itemObj.tempId, {
    status: 'failed'
})

The method takes two arguments:

• test item tempId (returned by the method startTestItem)
• data object:

Example issue object:

{
    issueType: 'string',
    comment: 'string',
    externalSystemIssues: [
        {
            submitDate: 0,
            submitter: 'string',
            systemId: 'string',
            ticketId: 'string',
            url: 'string'
        }
    ]
}

sendLog - adds a log to the test item.

// stepObj - object returned by method 'startTestItem'
rpClient.sendLog(stepObj.tempId, {
    level: 'INFO',
    message: 'User clicks login button',
    time: rpClient.helpers.now()
})

        value: '1.0.0'
      }
    ],
