Feature file steps not visible in html report

[umerhamdan10]

My steps are not visible in report. I just see my feature file name and scenario name.

Any one face same issue? I just se json don't have any information about the steps but have the scenarion information.

Help will be appriciated

Same concern here, has it been designed this way? If so, can we do it on our own?

Hi @NHP95 and @umerhamdan10, it would be great if you could explain how you use this reporter: are you using it in a custom integration of cucumber with testcafé or just testcafé ?

Thanks!

I integrate cucumber with testcafe.

I used testcafe and gherkin-testcafe for the step definitions https://www.npmjs.com/package/gherkin-testcafe

Hi @umerhamdan10 and @NHP95 , I have given a response in this issue

I think you might also be interested in this thread : hdorgeval/testcafe-reporter-cucumber-json#29

[NHP95]

so in short, the steps will never be visible?

Hi @NHP95, @umerhamdan10 , unfortunately there is no perfect and clean integration of Cucumber with TestCafé. TestCafé is an all-in-one tool (and it is a great tool) and not a library. This means it is not possible (at the time of writing this comment) to have a TestCafé feature file that is run by the cucumber runner. And because TestCafé has no notion of step inside a test function, you will not have any steps in the final json report.

This is why I suggested to infer these steps by injecting // Given ... // When ... // Then ... comments inside the test methods.

The JSON reporter is theoretically able to parse the source code of the test to extract these comments.

I would like to know if you really need something like this?

[umerhamdan10]

Hi @hdorgeval, thank you for the reply and give the valuable information.

I did not get (This is why I suggested to infer these steps by injecting // Given ... // When ... // Then ... comments inside the test methods) this. How to do this.

Can you share example or your implementation.?

[hdorgeval]

Hi @umerhamdan10 , it would be great if you could provide a functional github repo that shows how you use testcafe together with cucumber and the reporter, so that I can search for the best solution to inject the steps inside the json file report.

Thanks!

For me, I used testcafe programming interface to create a test runner 'gherkin-testcafe' and then in the reporter function I passed in the 'cucumber-json'.

Hi,
I'm also facing same issue!
I'm using testcafe, cucumber and multiple-cucumber-html-reporter.

Hi @MeghaKoshle thank you for your feedback.

I would be happy to provide a solution, but for this, it would be great if someone in this thread could provide a working public repo that demonstrate the problem.

The root cause of what you report is that at runtime all gherkin syntax is translated into Testcafé syntax, because the final runner is TestCafé and not Cucumber itself; and in TestCafé world there is no notion of step.

By providing a working public repo, I can see what kind of information, the reporter can gather at runtime and therefore I can see what kind of solution I could provide.

@hdorgeval could you please have a look at this? https://github.com/damianszczepanik/cucumber-reporting

I was looking for a report with feature steps like mentioned in the provided url.

A slightly aging issue thread, but one that is very relevant to me in my current project at the moment.

I understand that TestCafe has no notion of Cucumber/Steps and so gherkin-testcafe is - I assume - effectively converting the Cucumber to Testcafe; which Testcafe is then executing. And, as Testcafe has no notion of steps your reporter, which is embedding into Testcafe aslo has no notion of steps.

You mention, above, 'injecting // Given ... // When ... // Then ... comments inside the test methods' which would solve the problem; which I assume multiple-cucumber-html-reporter would then put inside 'Test Info' stuff. That is what I've been trying to work out how to do but cant find a way; be able to have a line reporter.info("This is runnin g in step xyz");

So, in a gherkin-testcafe solution, how do I write text to your reporter for inclusion into the generated json?
