Setup

This setup tutorial works with Cypress >= v10, looking for older version setup? here

1. install cypress-mochawesome-reporter

   npm i --save-dev cypress-mochawesome-reporter
   

   or

   yarn add -D cypress-mochawesome-reporter
   

2. Change cypress reporter & setup hooks

   Edit config file (cypress.config.js by default)

   const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');
   
   module.exports = defineConfig({
     reporter: 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter',
     e2e: {
       setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
         require('cypress-mochawesome-reporter/plugin')(on);
       },
     },
   });

   If you are override before:run or after:run hooks, use this:

   const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');
   const { beforeRunHook, afterRunHook } = require('cypress-mochawesome-reporter/lib');
   
   module.exports = defineConfig({
     reporter: 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter',
     e2e: {
       setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
         on('before:run', async (details) => {
           console.log('override before:run');
           await beforeRunHook(details);
         });
   
         on('after:run', async () => {
           console.log('override after:run');
           await afterRunHook();
         });
       },
     },
   });

3. Add to cypress/support/e2e.js

   import 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter/register';

4. (optional, if your are using cypress-cucumber-preprocessor) Add to cypress/support/step_definitions/index.js

   import 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter/cucumberSupport';

   ⚠️ cypress-cucumber-preprocessor uses the same hooks as cypress-mochawesome-reporter, you also need to install cypress-on-fix. Full example of using cypress-mochawesome-reporter with cypress-cucumber-preprocessor can be found here.

5. run cypress

Custom options

If you want to customize your HTML report with mochawesome-report-generator flags just add the flags you want to reporterOptions

const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');

module.exports = defineConfig({
  reporter: 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter',
  reporterOptions: {
    charts: true,
    reportPageTitle: 'custom-title',
    embeddedScreenshots: true,
    inlineAssets: true,
    saveAllAttempts: false,
  },
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      require('cypress-mochawesome-reporter/plugin')(on);
    },
  },
});

Additional reporter options:

name	type	default	description
embeddedScreenshots	boolean	false	Embedded external screenshots into HTML using base64, use with inlineAssets option to produce a single HTML file
ignoreVideos	boolean	false	Will not copy videos recorded by Cypress nor show them in the mochawesome report. Requires that Cypress config option video is set to true for the option to have any effect Because mochawesome doesn't support context per spec file, each test will have the whole spec file video. More info can be found here
videoOnFailOnly	boolean	false	If Videos are recorded and added to the report, setting this to true will add the videos only to tests with failures. Do note that this will NOT cause video's to only record failed tests, just they not be added to passed tests in the mochawesome report
quiet	boolean	false	Silence console messages
saveAllAttempts	boolean	true	Save screenshots of all test attempts, set to false to save only the last attempt
debug	boolean	false	Creates log file with debug data
saveJson	boolean	false	Keeps the json file used to create html report

Add extra information to report

Add extra information to the report manually by using cy.addTestContext() as seen in the simple-typescript example test 2
