Adding a custom reporter to Detox

Adding an Allure Reporter Listener for Detox

To understand what was going on I looked at the code inside DetoxCircusEnvironment, and specifically lines L52-L86

Within this file we can see the following code:

for (const listener of this.testEventListeners) { if (typeof listener[name] === 'function') { try { await this._timer.run(() => listener[name](event, state)); } catch (listenerError) { this._logger.error(`${listenerError}`); } } }

so if we implemented functions that matched the names of events that we are interested in listed here then it would handle the events as part of the Jest Circus lifecycle for us.

The final step is to add the reporter as a listener with the CustomDetoxEnvironment

const { DetoxCircusEnvironment, SpecReporter, WorkerAssignReporter, } = require('detox/runners/jest-circus'); const AllureReporter = require('./reporters/AllureReporterCircus') class CustomDetoxEnvironment extends DetoxCircusEnvironment { constructor(config, context) { super(config, context); this.initTimeout = 300000; this.registerListeners({ SpecReporter, AllureReporter, WorkerAssignReporter, }); } } module.exports = CustomDetoxEnvironment;
