Dynamic change protractor-result folder 'protractor-html-screenshot-reporter' - node.js

Question

Here is my conf.js file.
var HtmlScreenshotReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter');
var reporter = new HtmlScreenshotReporter({
dest : '/opt/src/protractor/results/',
filename : 'index.html',
showSummary : true,
showQuickLinks : true,
showConfiguration : true,
cleanDestination : true,
ignoreSkippedSpecs : false,
reportOnlyFailedSpecs : false,
captureOnlyFailedSpecs : true,
});
exports.config = {
...
// Setup the report before any tests start
beforeLaunch: function() {
return new Promise(function(resolve){
reporter.beforeLaunch(resolve);
});
},
onPrepare: function () {
reporter.dest = '/opt/src/protractor/results/' + browser.params.directory + '/';
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
I would like to dynamicly change the destination directory by passing arguments :
Eg :
protractor conf.js --suite=MySuiteName --browser.params.directory=MyDirectory
All reports are generated in /opt/src/protractor/results/ instead of /opt/src/protractor/results/MyDirectory
Why I can't change Destination directory?
Thanks in advance. :)

Answer 1

Inside protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter implement, it only read the destination folder by options.dest of the passed-in options when call new HtmlScreenshotReporter(options).
Thus changing reporter.dest won't change the destination folder when generate report files
Please try below code: (delay to init reporter instance in onPrepare, in which you can get the value of CLI argument: --browser.params.directory
var HtmlScreenshotReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter');
var reportOpts = {
dest : '/opt/src/protractor/results/',
filename : 'index.html',
showSummary : true,
showQuickLinks : true,
showConfiguration : true,
cleanDestination : true,
ignoreSkippedSpecs : false,
reportOnlyFailedSpecs : false,
captureOnlyFailedSpecs : true,
};
var reporter;
exports.config = {
onPrepare: function () {
// change reporter destination
reportOpts.dest = '/opt/src/protractor/results/' + browser.params.directory + '/';
// delay init reporter instance in onPrepare(), but beforelaunch()
reporter = new HtmlScreenshotReporter(reportOpts);
reporter.beforeLaunch(function(){
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
});
},
// Close the report after all tests finish
afterLaunch: function(exitCode) {
return new Promise(function(resolve){
reporter.afterLaunch(resolve.bind(this, exitCode));
});
}
};
