Generate Cucumber .html report in Cypress in Just “5” Steps

Problem statement

We need a .html report where we can see the results of the cucumber cypress test case in graphical form (pie chat etc.)

Solution

With the help of two plugins “cypress-cucumber-preprocessor” and “multiple-cucumber-html-reporter,” we can achieve this

Steps to generate the Cucumber .html report

Step 1: Install the plugin and add the following in the cypress-cucumber-preprocessor section in package.json.

npm install — save-dev cypress-cucumber-preprocessor

Add below lines in package.json under cypress-cucumber-preprocessor section in package.json.

"cypress-cucumber-preprocessor": {
    "cucumberJson": {
      "generate": true,
      "outputFolder": "cypress/cucumber-json",
      "filePrefix": "",
      "fileSuffix": ".cucumber"
    }

const report = require("multiple-cucumber-html-reporter");
report.generate({
jsonDir: "cypress/cucumber-json",  // ** Path of .json file **//
reportPath: "./reports/cucumber-htmlreport.html",
metadata: {
browser: {
name: "chrome",
version: "81",
},
device: "Local test machine",
platform: {
name: "mac",
version: "Catalina",
},
},
});

Step 5: Generate cucumber .html report
