Thekla

Configuration

  1. The config file
  2. configure which specs or features to run
  3. Configure thekla to use cucumber
  4. Configure thekla to use jasmine

Thekla can be configured by a single configuration file with the following parts:

The config file

All configurations are placed in a config file e.g. thekla_conf.ts

Run the transpiled config with:

thekla dist/thekla_conf.js

typescript transpiled the the source into the dist folder

configure which specs or features to run

Specs (Jasmine) or features (Cucumber) are specified by using the specs array.


import {TheklaConfig} from "@thekla/config";

export default {
    // specify specs (jasmine) or features (cucumber)
    // specify the file: DIR/MyFile.js or DIR/MyFeature.feature
    // or use glob e.g.
    specs: ["features/**/*.features"]

} as TheklaConfig;

Configure thekla to use cucumber

The cucumber cli parameters are just mapped to configuration objects and are optional.

Please check the cucumber-js cli documentation for detailed information.


import {TheklaConfig} from "@thekla/config";

export default {

    // all options for the framework in use
    testFramework: {
        // use cucumber
        frameworkName: `cucumber`,
        // configure cucumber                       
        cucumberOptions: {     
            // require support files (see --require cli option)                            
            require: [`dist/step_definitions/**/*.js`],
            requireModule: [
                `MODULE`, 
                `ts-node/register`],
            // specify formatter (see --format cli option)
            format: [
                `REPORT[:PATH]`,
                `json:report/cucumber_report.json`,
                // the junit formatter is a separate @thekla module and not part
                // of the cucumber standard implementation
                `junit:report/cucumber_report.xml`],
            // tags to execute (see --tags cli option)
            tags: [`@Focus`],
            // set world parameter (see the --world-parameter cli option)
            // can be accessed inside step definitions with "this.parameter"
            worldParameters: {
                myParameter: `MyParameterValue (string | number | object | array etc.)`
            }
        }
    }
} as TheklaConfig;

Configure thekla to use jasmine

Jasmine is used by setting the frameworkName jasmine.

As of now the only implemented option for Jasmine is defaultTimeoutInterval.


import {TheklaConfig} from "@thekla/config";

export default {

    // all options for the framework in use
    testFramework: {
        // use jasmine
        frameworkName: `jasmine`,
        jasmineOptions: {
            // set the default Timeout for a spec
            defaultTimeoutInterval: 20 * 1000
        }
    }
} as TheklaConfig;
