Protractor Test Run Results - Jasmine2-html-reporter

One way to see protractor test run results, is to use an existing package, called jasmine2-html-reporter that will help you see a reporter in html format for Jasmine and Protractor. The big advantage of this is that it's able to generate a screenshot every time a test test fails.

In order to use it you need to npm install it and to add it in your protractor config.js file, in onprepare function

$ npm install protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter

var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter');

exports.config = {
   // ...
   onPrepare: function() {
      jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
        new Jasmine2HtmlReporter({
          savePath: './protractor/reports/logs/htmlReports',

          takeScreenshots: true,
          takeScreenshotsOnlyOnFailures: true
        })
      );
   }
}

There are other options that you can use, like FixedScreenshotName, CleanDestination, showPassed, etc.

The test results will show
- 'passed' for every 'expect' inside a spec ('it' statement)
- if there is no 'expect' inside 'it', it will be marked with 'skipped'
- if an error occurs, it will show an error + a screenshot

Later, you can use test results files in a CI system, like Jenkins and attach the screenshots for failed tests as artifacts.

Happy testing and... make it green, becomes a dream :).
