karma-and-protractor-reporter

A command line reporter for protractor and karma for Test Driven Development. The output is compact and has stacktrace highlighting so it's easy to see which tests are failing as quickly as possible.

How does it looks

The output looks similar in protractor or karma. The protractor stacktrace is filtered (depending on options used) so that jasmine and protractor internals are not shown.

Installation

To install use npm install karma-and-protractor-reporter --save-dev.

Karma Configuration

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    frameworks: ['jasmine'],

    // reporters configuration
    reporters: ['mocha'],
    kap: {
      useColors: true,
      showTiming: true,
      style: 'dots',
      stackStyle: 'summary'
    }
  });
};

Protractor Configuration

// protractor.conf.js
exports.config = {
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    print: function() {}
  },
  onPrepare: function() {
    var KapReporter = require('karma-and-protractor-reporter').KapReporter;
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new KapReporter({
      useColors: true,
      showTiming: true,
      style: 'dots',
      stackStyle: 'summary'
    }));
  }
};

indent

passDot

Type: String default '*'

pendingDot

Type: String default 'P'

showId

Type: Boolean default false

If set a test id will be displayed beside each test.

showPassed

showPending

Type: Boolean default true

showFailed

Type: Boolean default true

showTiming

Type: Boolean default true

stackStyle

Type: String default 'summary'

stacktraces can be highlighted or abbreviated to help you get to the failing code more quickly.

• 'summary' less important info is removed from the stacktrace.
