How to set test case fail and pass messages in Casper js?

Question

How I can set two different test messages for fail and pass test cases and after running all test cases how I can get list of all fail and pass messages which I can print in log file or xml file.

What is better way to store all messages and get in correct format.

Here is my Sample Home page.js

    HomePage = function () {

    var PageTestParams = TestParams.Modules.HomePage,
        PageLangText = Lang.Modules.HomePage;

    SearchResult = function(test){

    },
    SearchTextField = function(test){
        test.assertExists(PageTestParams.SearchFormSelector, PageLangText.SuccessMsg["SearchForm"]);
        SearchResult(test);
    },
    NavigationCount = function(test){
         test.assertElementCount(PageTestParams.NavigationSelector, PageTestParams.NavigationCount,PageLangText.SuccessMsg["NavigationCount"]);
         SearchTextField(test);
    },
    CheckTitle = function(test){
        test.assertTitle(PageTestParams.Title, PageLangText.SuccessMsg["TitleText"]);
        casper.test.pass("main fail ho gaya");
        NavigationCount(test);
    },
    this.init = function(test){
        CheckTitle(test);
    }
};

I am passing this JS for test assertion if any test case fail or pass the same message is getting printed for same scenario. I have searched and got below syntax but its printing same message which I have setted in test assertion.

                        casper.test.on("fail", function(failure) {
                            casper.echo("FAIL " + failure.message);
                        });

Answer 1

To get two different messages when using a single test is something I have personally not come across yet. If you want a way to work around it you could do something like:

var x=4;
if(x>2){
casper.test.pass("PASS Message.");
}else{
casper.test.fail("FAIL Message.");
}

You could manipulate the if statement to have a boolean or whatever else you may like, but this seems like the most obvious way I would do it. As for getting a list of all passing and failing messages, the extent I know about that is that there are the getFailures(); and a getPasses(); methods, these may or may not be what your looking for, but maybe they can help get you started! Good Luck!

You can do something like this (same logic for success or fail):-

var successes = [];

casper.test.on("success", function(success) {
    successes.push(success);
});

Then on casper.run you can do a couple of things:-

1) To see the full dump of all successes (you can see all the properties) you can do this:-

casper.run(function () {
    test.done();
    require('utils').dump(successes);
});

2) to output the array of successes one by one (so you can format the output) you can do:-

casper.run(function () {
    test.done();

    successes.forEach(function(item){
        casper.echo(item.standard);
    });
});

3) I assume you know you can also output the full test assertions to xunit by passing in --xunit=output.xml
