skipped-tests-finder

Analyses your project or a specific directory for skipped tests

Skipped Tests Finder is a command-line tool that scans your project or test suites and identifies any skipped tests or test suites. It provides a convenient way to keep track of skipped tests and ensure that they are addressed before releasing your application. Skipped Tests Finder works for the majority of test frameworks, including but not limited to Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, Robot Framework, Selenium, Katalon Studio, Jest, Mocha, Jasmine, unittest, pytest, RSpec, MiniTest, PHPUnit, JUnit, NUnit, MSTest, Catch2 and GoogleTest.

Note: this tool appears to struggle with scanning very large codebases in their entirety. If you encounter the error message The directory does not exist. Please enter a valid directory path. after running the script to scan your entire codebase, please rerun the tool, this time targeting either your test directory or the src folder specifically. Additionally, it's advisable to run the tool separately on different directories to segregate results for distinct types of test suites within your project. For instance, you might run this script to identify Jest tests located in ./src and Cypress tests in ./cypress/e2e separately.

Features

• Recursively scans a directory and its subdirectories for test files (.js, .ts, .jsx, .tsx, .coffee, .py, .rb, .php, .java, .cs, .go, .cpp and .groovy files)
• Identifies skipped tests for many different types of syntaxes, such as it.skip(...), test.skip(...), xtest(...), @unittest.skip("reason"), @pytest.mark.skip(reason="reason"), it "test name" and much more
• Displays the total number of skipped tests found
• Outputs a list of skipped tests with their names, file paths, and line numbers
• Supports outputting the results to a file (skipped_tests.txt) for easier integration with other tools or further processing

Installation

Requirements

• skipped-tests-finder requires NodeJS 10 (or higher) to be installed

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Sharma-IT/skipped-tests-finder.git

2. Change into this respository's directory:

cd skipped-tests-finder

For Linux

3. To install skipped-tests-finder on Linux-based Operating Systems (including macOS), run:

./install.sh

For Windows

3. To install skipped-tests-finder on Windows Operating Systems, run:

.\install.ps1

Usage

1. Install skipped-tests-finder.
2. Navigate to your home directory, using cd in your terminal (on either Linux or Windows).
3. Run the skipped-tests-finder command:

node skipped-tests-finder.js

4. Upon execution, the script will request the path to your tests directory. You have the option to input the path after initiating the script or beforehand using the -d argument. For example, node skipped-tests-finder.js -d=projects/project_name/cypress/e2e.
5. Following that, the script will inquire whether you wish to save the results to a text file. Respond with either "y" or "n" as appropriate, "y" will save the results to a text file (skipped_tests.txt) and "n" will print the results in your console. If you choose "y", you'll be prompted to enter the file path where you want the text file to be created. Leaving this blank will create the output in the same directory as the script.
6. Alternatively, you can bypass this prompt by utilising the following arguments when executing the script:
   • -cli: Display the results directly in your console
   • -txt: Generate a plain text file named skipped_tests.txt
   • -o=<path>: Specify the directory for the output file
   • -c: Create output in the same directory as the script
7. The script will proceed to scan your test directory and its subdirectories to identify skipped tests. Subsequently, it will print the results in the console or write them into the skipped_tests.txt file, depending on your choice.

Note: you can also copy the script manually into your project directory and run the script from the project directory.

Commands

Usage: node skipped-tests-finder [options] -d=[<path>]

Options:

 -d=<path>        Path to the directory to search for skipped tests
 -txt             Output the results to a plain text file
 -cli             Output the results to the terminal
 -o=<path>        Path to the directory for the text output
 -c               Output the text results in the same directory as the script
 -h, --help       Display this help message

Example Output

my-name@my-computers-name my application % node skipped-tests-finder.js -d=.projects/project_1/cypress/e2e -cli

Total skipped tests: 2

Skipped Tests:

- test 1 (cypress/e2e/tests.spec.js:4)
- test 2 (cypress/e2e/tests.spec.js:12)
