Protractor tests reports using jasmine-reporters

Question

I'm trying to export protractor test results to xml files, for that I have installed jasmine-reporters using

npm install -g jasmine-reporters.

Protractor version is Version 2.1.0.

jasmine-reporters version 2.0.7

This is my protracotr config file:

exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4455/wd/hub',
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },
  specs: [
    'student_spec.js'
    ],  

  onPrepare: function() {      
    require('jasmine-reporters');
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
      new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter(null, true, true, '/test/e2e/JasmineReporter')
    );
  },
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
        showColors: true,
        defaultTimeoutInterval: 50000
      }      
};

When I run the protractor, I am getting this error

Error: Cannot find module 'jasmine-reporters'

Help me, where I'm doing wrong.

Solution

Make sure you have installed jasmine-reporters and the proper path of jasmine-reporters is provided. If it was installed properly then run the below command to see if you get the version of it -

npm list -g jasmine-reporters

If there was a problem installing it, use below command to install it which is compatible with Jasmine 2.x versions -

npm install --save-dev jasmine-reporters@^2.0.0

Update your conf.js file to include proper global scope variable jasmineReporters as mentioned in the package file -

    framework: 'jasmine2',
    onPrepare: function() {
    var jasmineReporters = require('path_of_installed_jasmine-reporters-plugin');
    //update proper path, in my case its ('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/jasmine-reporters')
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
        new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter(null, true, true, '/test/e2e/JasmineReporter')
    );};

If I run first command I am getting version like this - /usr/local/lib └── [email protected]

Right, then change the global scope variable to jasmineReporters instead of what you are using and run the test case again as mentioned above.

Error: jasmineReporters is not defined

Updated the answer to change your conf.js file and check if it works. Include framework function and declare jasmineReporters. Hope it works.

I have updated your change but still getting Error: jasmineReporters is not defined

Got an answer for your issue. Its because you are not specifying the path to the jasmine-reporters when you require it. Inside your require() function provide the complete path to the plugin. Updated the same in the answer above. Sorry for the confusion created.

When using jasmine 2.2.1, I got the error JUnitXmlReporter is not a constructor when using the code above. I had to use the second version of the code found on the accepted answer on this stackoverflow accepted answer to get around the error message: var jasmineReporters = require('jasmine-reporters'); jasmine.getEnv().addReporter( new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter('xmloutput', true, true) );.
