Having test spec name as test name in browserstack - protractor

Question

I want to set the test spec name as the test name in browserstack. Below is my browserstack stack config file. I am using protractor.
exports.makeDefaultCapabilities = function(that) {
return {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
prefs: {
credentials_enable_service: false,
args: [
'disable-infobars=true',
]
},
loggingPrefs: {
driver: 'WARNING',
server: 'WARNING',
browser: 'INFO'
},
'browserstack.user': 'xx'
'browserstack.key': 'xxx',
'browserstack.debug': true,
};
};
exports.config = {
suites: {
smoke: [
'*/*.js'
]
},
SELENIUM_PROMISE_MANAGER: false,
baseUrl: undefined,
framework: 'jasmine',
allScriptsTimeout: 100000,
getPageTimeout: 100000,
maxSessions: 1,
seleniumAddress: 'https://hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub',
getMultiCapabilities: function() {
let that = this;
return new Promise(function(resolve) {
let defaults = exports.makeDefaultCapabilities(that);
let capabilities = [];
capabilities.push({
os: 'OS X',
os_version: 'High Sierra'
});
_.forEach(capabilities, function(capability) {
_.defaultsDeep(capability, defaults);
});
resolve(capabilities);
});
},
beforeSession: function(config, capabilities, specs) {
capabilities.name = specs && specs[0].split('/').pop() || undefined;
},
onPrepare: function() {
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(failFast.init());
let reporter = new SpecReporter();
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
}
};
The beforeSession hook doesn't update the test name in browserstack as the test spec name.
Looking forward for any suggestion. Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Include const request = require('request'); in the *.conf.js file and following snippet in onPrepare() function. This will get the name of your test spec and change the name using BrowserStack REST API.
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter({
specStarted: function(result) {
browser.getCapabilities().then(function (capabilities) {
browser.getSession().then(function(session){
var sessionID = session.getId()
var headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
var dataString = `{"name":"${result.fullName}"}`;
var options = {
url: 'https://api.browserstack.com/automate/sessions/' + sessionID + '.json',
method: 'PUT',
headers: headers,
body: dataString,
auth: {
'user': browserstackUser,
'pass': browserstackKey
}
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body);
}
}
request(options, callback);
});
});
}
});
