jest-html-reporter

A Jest test results processor for generating a summary in HTML.



Inspired by karma-htmlfile-reporter

Installation

npm:

$ npm install jest-html-reporter --save-dev

yarn:

$ yarn add jest-html-reporter --dev

Usage

Configure Jest to process the test results by adding the following entry to the Jest config (jest.config.json):

"reporters": [
	"default",
	["./node_modules/jest-html-reporter", {
		"pageTitle": "Test Report"
	}]
]

As you run Jest from within the terminal, a file called test-report.html will be created within your root folder containing information about your tests.

There are multiple configuration options available. Read more about these further down in this document.

Alternative Usage as a Test Results Processor

To run the reporter as a test results processor (after Jest is complete instead of running in parallel), add the following entry to the Jest config (jest.config.json):

{
	"testResultsProcessor": "./node_modules/jest-html-reporter"
}

Note: When running as a testResultsProcessor, the configuration needs either to be placed within a new file named jesthtmlreporter.config.json residing in the root folder

{
	"pageTitle": "Test Report",
}

or via adding a key to package.json named "jest-html-reporter":

{
	...
	"jest-html-reporter": {
		"pageTitle": "Test Report",
	}
}

📌 Configuration Options (All Optional)

collapseSuitesByDefault	boolean	false	Collapse test suites (accordions) by default.
customScriptPath	string	null	Path to an external script file injected into the report.
dateFormat	string	yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss	Date format for timestamps. See documentation for available formats.
executionTimeWarningThreshold	number	5	Warn if a test suite exceeds this execution time (in seconds).
hideConsoleLogOrigin	boolean	false	Hide console.log origin (stack trace) in the report (requires --verbose=false).
includeConsoleLog	boolean	false	Include console.log outputs in the report (requires --verbose=false).
includeFailureMsg	boolean	false	Show detailed error messages for failed tests.
includeStackTrace	boolean	true	Show stack traces for failed tests.
includeSuiteFailure	boolean	false	Show detailed errors for entire failed test suites.
includeObsoleteSnapshots	boolean	false	Show obsolete snapshot names.
logo	string	null	Path to an image file to display in the report header.
outputPath	string	./test-report.html	Full path for the output report file (must end in .html).

Available values: ➤ status → Sorts by test status (pending → failed → passed). ➤ status:{custom-order} → Custom status order (e.g., "status:failed,passed,pending"). ➤ executionasc → Sorts by execution time ascending. ➤ executiondesc → Sorts by execution time descending. ➤ titleasc → Sorts by suite filename/test name ascending. ➤ titledesc → Sorts by suite filename/test name descending.
statusIgnoreFilter	string	null	Comma-separated list of statuses to exclude: "passed", "pending", "failed".

Continuous Integration

All the configuration options provided in the table above are available via environment variables and follows the pattern of snake case in uppercase prepended with JEST_HTML_REPORTER_

Example: customScriptPath -> JEST_HTML_REPORTER_CUSTOM_SCRIPT_PATH

*NOTE: Environment variables will take precedence over configurations set in jesthtmlreporter.config.json and package.json*

CI Example

Here is an example of dynamically naming your output file and test report title to match your current branch that one might see in a automated deployment pipeline before running their tests.

export BRANCH_NAME=`git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null | cut -d"/" -f 3`
export JEST_HTML_REPORTER_OUTPUT_PATH=/home/username/jest-test-output/test-reports/"$BRANCH_NAME".html
export JEST_HTML_REPORTER_PAGE_TITLE="$BRANCH_NAME"\ Test\ Report
