JavaScript collectors

To use Test Analytics with your JavaScript (npm) projects, use the test-collector-javascript package with a supported test framework. Test Analytics supports the following test frameworks:

You can also upload test results by importing JSON or JUnit XML.

Add the test collector package

Whichever test framework you use, you first need to add and authenticate the buildkite-test-collector.

To add the test collector package:

In your CI environment, set the BUILDKITE_ANALYTICS_TOKEN environment variable to your Test Analytics API token. To learn how to set environment variables securely in Pipelines, see Managing pipeline secrets.
On the command line, create a new branch by running:
```
git checkout -b install-buildkite-test-analytics
```

Install buildkite-test-collector using your package manager.

For npm, run:

npm install --dev buildkite-test-collector

For yarn, run:

yarn add --dev buildkite-test-collector

Configure the test framework

With the test collector installed, you need to configure it in the test framework.

Jest

If you're already using Jest, you can add buildkite-collector/jest/reporter to the list of reporters to collect test results into your Test Analytics dashboard.

To configure Jest:

Make sure Jest runs with access to CI environment variables.
Add "buildkite-test-collector/jest/reporter" to Jest's reporters configuration array (typically found in jest.config.js, jest.config.js, or package.json):
```
{
    "reporters": ["default", "buildkite-test-collector/jest/reporter"]
}
```

Jasmine collector

To configure Jasmine:

Follow the Jasmine docs to add the Buildkite reporter. For example:

// SpecHelper.js
var BuildkiteReporter = require("buildkite-test-collector/jasmine/reporter");
var buildkiteReporter = new BuildkiteReporter();

jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(buildkiteReporter);

(Optional) To pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, use the following report options:

// SpecHelper.js
var buildkiteReporter = new BuildkiteReporter(undefined, {
    token: process.env.CUSTOM_ENV_VAR,
});

Mocha collector

To configure Mocha:

Install the mocha-multi-reporters in your project by running:
```
npm install mocha-multi-reporters --save-dev
```

Configure it to run your desired reporter and the Buildkite reporter:

// config.json
{
  "reporterEnabled": "spec, buildkite-test-collector/mocha/reporter"
}

Update your test script to use the Buildkite reporter via mocha-multi-reporters:

// package.json
"scripts": {
  "test": "mocha --reporter mocha-multi-reporters --reporter-options configFile=config.json"
},

(Optional) To pass in the API token using a custom environment variable, use the report options. Since the reporter options are passed in as a JSON file, we recommend you put the environment variable name as a string value in the config.json, which is retrieved using dotenv in the mocha reporter.
```
// config.json
{
  "reporterEnabled": "spec, buildkite-test-collector/mocha/reporter",
  "buildkiteTestCollectorMochaReporterReporterOptions": {
    "token_name": "CUSTOM_ENV_VAR_NAME"
  }
}
```

Save the changes

When your collector is installed, commit and push your changes:

Add the changes to the staging area by running:
```
git add .
```

Commit the changes by running:

git commit -m "Install and set up Buildkite Test Analytics"

Push the changes by running:
```
git push
```

View the results

After completing these steps, you'll see the analytics of test executions on all branches that include this code in the Test Analytics dashboard.

If you don't see branch names, build numbers, or commit hashes in the Test Analytics dashboard, see CI environments to learn more about exporting your environment.

Troubleshooting missing test executions and `--forceExit`

Using the --forceExit option when running Jest could result in missing test executions from Test Analytics.

--forceExit could potentially terminate any ongoing processes that are attempting to send test executions to Buildkite.

We recommend using --detectOpenHandles to track down open handles which are preventing Jest from exiting cleanly.
