ReportPortal js client

This Client is to communicate with the ReportPortal on Node.js.

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

Already implemented listeners:

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

Installation

The latest version is available on npm:

npm install @reportportal/client-javascript

Usage example

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);
});

Configuration

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

Option	Necessity	Default	Description
apiKey	Required		User's reportportal token from which you want to send requests. It can be found on the profile page of this user.
endpoint	Required		URL of your server. For example, if you visit the page at 'https://server:8080/ui', then endpoint will be equal to 'https://server:8080/api/v1'.
launch	Required		Name of the launch at creation.
project	Required		The name of the project in which the launches will be created.
headers	Optional	{}	The object with custom headers for internal http client.
debug	Optional	false	This flag allows seeing the logs of the client. Useful for debugging.
isLaunchMergeRequired	Optional	false	Allows client to merge launches into one at the end of the run via saving their UUIDs to the temp files at filesystem. At the end of the run launches can be merged using `mergeLaunches` method. Temp file format: `rplaunch-${launch_uuid}.tmp`.
restClientConfig	Optional	Not set	`axios` like http client config. May contain `agent` property for configure http(s) client, and other client options eg. `timeout`. For debugging and displaying logs you can set `debug: true`.
launchUuidPrint	Optional	false	Whether to print the current launch UUID.
launchUuidPrintOutput	Optional	'STDOUT'	Launch UUID printing output. Possible values: 'STDOUT', 'STDERR', 'FILE', 'ENVIRONMENT'. Works only if `launchUuidPrint` set to `true`. File format: `rp-launch-uuid-${launch_uuid}.tmp`. Env variable: `RP_LAUNCH_UUID`.
token	Deprecated	Not set	Use `apiKey` instead.

Asynchronous reporting

The client supports an asynchronous reporting (via the ReportPortal asynchronous API). If you want the client to report through the asynchronous API, change v1 to v2 in the endpoint address.

API

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.

Timeout (30000ms) on axios requests

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

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

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:

Option	Necessity	Default	Description
startTime	Optional	rpClient.helpers.now()	Start time of the launch (Unix Epoch time, see time format).
name	Optional	parameter 'launch' specified when creating the client instance	Name of the launch.
mode	Optional	'DEFAULT'	'DEFAULT' - results will be submitted to Launches page, 'DEBUG' - results will be submitted to Debug page.
description	Optional	''	Description of the launch (supports markdown syntax).
attributes	Optional	[]	Array of launch attributes (tags).
id	Optional	Not set	`ID` of the existing launch in which tests data would be sent, without this param new launch instance will be created.

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

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.

getPromiseFinishAllItems

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.

Option	Necessity	Default	Description
tempLaunchId	Required		`tempId` of the launch started by the current client process

Time format

The unix Epoch time ISO string.

The ReportPortal since product version 24.2 (Service API version 5.12.0) supports the time with microsecond precision in the ISO string format (2024-09-23T11:10:46.793546Z). Thus, it is recommended to report time in this format to have more accurate logs and test items order on the ReportPortal UI.

Note: Reporting the time in ISO string format with millisecond precision (2024-09-23T11:10:46.793Z) or as a number of milliseconds (1727089846793) is also acceptable with microseconds automatically added as zeros on ReportPortal's API service for backward compatibility.

The client use time with microsecond precision in the ISO string format by default since version 5.3.0.
