@nrwl/detox:test

Run detox test options.

Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/configuration/projectjson#targets.

Options playground

Try out this interactive editor of the configuration object. Values are validated as you type and hovering over labels will give you more information.

Examples

These buttons show the config object for specific common tasks.

Options

artifactsLocation

string

Artifacts (logs, screenshots, etc) root directory.

appLaunchArgs

number

Custom arguments to pass (through) onto the app every time it is launched.

buildTarget

string

Target which builds the application.

configPath

string

Specify Detox config file path. If not supplied, detox searches for .detoxrc[.js] or detox section in package.json.

captureViewHierarchy

string

Accepted values: enabled, disabled

[iOS Only] Capture *.uihierarchy snapshots on view action errors and device.captureViewHierarchy() calls.

cleanup

boolean

Shutdown simulator when test is over, useful for CI scripts, to make sure detox exists cleanly with no residue

detoxConfiguration

CRequired

string

Select a device configuration from your defined configurations, if not supplied, and there's only one configuration, detox will default to it.

deviceName

string

Override the device name specified in a configuration. Useful for running a single build configuration on multiple devices.

debugSynchronization

boolean

Customize how long an action/expectation can take to complete before Detox starts querying the app why it is busy. By default, the app status will be printed if the action takes more than 10s to complete.

deviceLaunchArgs

string

A list of passthrough-arguments to use when (if) devices (Android emulator / iOS simulator) are launched by Detox.

forceAdbInstall

boolean

Due to problems with the adb install command on Android, Detox resorts to a different scheme for install APK's. Setting true will disable that and force usage of adb install, instead.

gpu

boolean

[Android Only] Launch Emulator with the specific -gpu [gpu mode] parameter.

headless

boolean

Android Only] Launch Emulator in headless mode. Useful when running on CI.

inspectBrk

boolean

Uses node's --inspect-brk flag to let users debug the jest/mocha test runner

jestReportSpecs

boolean

[Jest Only] Whether to output logs per each running spec, in real-time. By default, disabled with multiple workers.

loglevel

string

Accepted values: fatal, error, warn, info, verbose, trace

Log level: fatal, error, warn, info, verbose, trace.

noColor

runnerConfig

string

Test runner config file, defaults to e2e/mocha.opts for mocha and e2e/config.json for Jest.

recordLogs

string

Accepted values: failing, all, none

Save logs during each test to artifacts directory. Pass failing to save logs of failing tests only.

recordVideos

string

Accepted values: failing, all, none

Save screen recordings of each test to artifacts directory. Pass failing to save recordings of failing tests only.

recordPerformance

string

Accepted values: all, none

[iOS Only] Save Detox Instruments performance recordings of each test to artifacts directory.

recordTimeline

reuse

boolean

Use Detox' custom console-logging implementation, for logging Detox (non-device) logs. Disabling will fallback to Node.js / test-runner's implementation (e.g. Jest / Mocha).

workers

number

Specifies number of workers the test runner should spawn, requires a test runner with parallel execution support (Detox CLI currently supports Jest).
