[Question] How to retrieve current test name in jest-circus?

[aesyondu]

I mentioned here how I retrieve the current test name when using the jasmine runner.

Now I've updated jest-playwright-preset to 0.2.3 and noted that I'm getting an error:

ReferenceError: jasmine is not defined

I noticed that in the 0.2.0 release the jest-circus became the default runner, which is probably the cause of the error. I'm currently searching for it but I don't suppose anyone knows how to retrieve the current test name in the jest-circus runner?

For reference, this is how I currently do it:

// jest.setup.js
// save the current test object to a global variable
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter({
  specStarted: result => jasmine.currentTest = result,
  specDone: result => jasmine.currentTest = result,
});

// my-test.spec.js
// use to check if the current test has errors, if it has, screenshot it
// code before ...
  afterEach(async () => {
    if (jasmine.currentTest.failedExpectations.length > 0) {
      await saveScreenshot(page, fileName, "error");
    }
  });
// code after ...

// helpers.js
// used for logging somewhere the current test name
// code before...
jasmine.currentTest.fullName
// code after...

So I'm actually using it to do two things:

1. check if the current test has any failures
2. retrieve the current test name

Oops I think this is explained in the readme. My bad.

Can you share where it's actually described?

Hi @hananmalka, I was referring to the readme of jest-circus

It is explained there how to bind to events:

import {Event, State} from 'jest-circus';
import NodeEnvironment from 'jest-environment-node';

class MyCustomEnvironment extends NodeEnvironment {
  //...

  async handleTestEvent(event: Event, state: State) {
    if (event.name === 'test_start') {
      // ...
    }
  }
}

Therefore, in order to get the current test name, I used something like this:

// CustomEnvironment.js
const fs = require("fs");
const PlaywrightEnvironment = require("jest-playwright-preset/lib/PlaywrightEnvironment")
  .default;

class CustomEnvironment extends PlaywrightEnvironment {
  async setup() {
    await super.setup();
    // Your setup
  }

  async teardown() {
    // Your teardown
    await super.teardown();
  }

  async handleTestEvent(event) {
    if (event.name === "test_start") {
      let testNames = [];
      let currentTest = event.test;
      while (currentTest) {
        testNames.push(currentTest.name);
        currentTest = currentTest.parent;
      }
    }

    // etc...
  }
}

module.exports = CustomEnvironment;

Oops I think I referenced the jest-playwright readme itself, not the jest-circus one:

https://github.com/playwright-community/jest-playwright#usage-with-custom-testenvironment

EDIT: Either way, the general idea is the same.

[hananmalka]

I'm just wondering if there is a way to use jest-Playwright custom runner to support jasmine Since currently I'm always get that jasmine is undefined. I just copy paste the custom runner from the Readme, and try to use jest-allure2 And keep getting the above error.

Ah I see, hmm, I'm not really sure. Have you tried this?

@kevinoliveira Hello, I have the same issue as you had, I am curious if you solved it?

Hi, I had the same situation and found no one answer wich worked for me.
Now I using another way. I added this row for jest.config.js
testRunner : 'jasmine2'

it's resolve issue with
ReferenceError: jasmine is not defined
at registerAllureReporter

and report generate successed

Sorry I'm not too familiar with using jasmine with jest-playwright.

[hananmalka]

Yes...tried this one. It's not working :(
jest-playwright uses environment jest-circus under the hood and seems like it can't be override.
Thanks
