Slack Service

wdio-slack-service is a 3rd party package, for more information please see GitHub | npm Webdriverio library to send test results as a slack notification/message to channels

Installation

The easiest way is to keep wdio-slack-service as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
"devDependencies": {
"wdio-slack-service": "2.0.8"
}
}

You can simple do it by:

npm install wdio-slack-service --save-dev

Instructions on how to install WebdriverIO can be found here.

Configuration

At first, import the service to wdio config file wdio.conf.js

// wdio.conf.js
const slack = require('wdio-slack-service');

In order to use the service you need to have slack webhook url to send the notification and you need to add slack to your services array

Example:

// wdio.conf.js
export.config = {
// ...
services: [
[slack, {
webHookUrl: "<SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL>", // Used to post notification to a particular channel
notifyOnlyOnFailure: true, // Send notification only on test failure
messageTitle: "<NOTIFICATION_TITLE>" // Name of the notification
}]
]

Features

  • Send notification irrespective of test results
  • Send notification only on test failure
  • Support for mocha, jasmine and cucumber
  • Retry/Rerun tests will be logged with addional info
  • Test duration info
  • Error details
  • Cucumber scenario/step reporting

How it works

For mocha/jasmine, notification will be sent on spec level and for cucumber, it will be on feature level. Let's say, if you have 10 spec/feature files, you will receive 10 notifications as it is triggered in after hook
