Features

• Generate an HTML single file with the ability to search, filter
• Render results out to the console, this comes with the ability to search and filter
• Re-run the above when a file changes
• Start a server with WebSockets to keep the browser in sync with the data

Usage, Node

Xunit Viewer is asynchronous so you may need to wrap it up like so

const xunitViewer = require('xunit-viewer')

const main = async () => {
  await xunitViewer({
    server: false,
    results: 'data',
    ignore: ['_thingy', 'invalid'],
    title: 'Xunit View Sample Tests',
    output: 'output.html'
  })
}
main()

If you are going to run it from a script with no other code

const xunitViewer = require('xunit-viewer')

xunitViewer({
  server: false,
  results: 'data',
  ignore: ['_thingy', 'invalid'],
  title: 'Xunit View Sample Tests',
  output: 'output.html'
})

Usage, React

Contributing

A list of available commands

npm i
npm start # this starts the dev app
npm release # this updates the code in the cli folder
npm run demo # this generates the demo
./bin/xunit-viewer # to run the local command line tool

npm test # runs the tests
npm run test:ci # runs without watch and also generates a html output
npm run lint # runs eslint
npm run update # updates the expected files for you
npm run build:cli # builds the js and copies it to the cli

Make sure your tests are running and passing, and the linter is passing as well

DO NOT commit the src/cli/static folder or the junit.xml file as part of your PR as these are auto-generated and just clutters up the PR, future work will be done to not make them part of the repo but they currently need to be included for the tags

A suggested workflow for UI changes

1. npm i to install the project
2. npm start to start the dev application then you can make your changes quickly
3. npm test to run the tests, run npm run updated to quickly update expected values
4. npm run lint to make sure all the files and nice and linted
5. npm build:cli in order to update the CLI with your UI changes
6. ./bin/xunit-viewer -r data -o test-output.html in order to make sure the commands work as expected

If your work does not include any UI work then a suggestion is

1. npm i to install the project
2. ./bin/xunit-viewer ... in order to make sure the commands work as expected
3. npm test to run the tests, run npm run updated to quickly update expected values
4. npm run lint to make sure all the files and nice and linted
