Serenity/JS Console Reporter​

@serenity-js/console-reporter writes text-based reports to your computer terminal.

Installation​

npm install --save-dev @serenity-js/core @serenity-js/console-reporter

To learn more about Serenity/JS and how to use it on your project, follow the Serenity/JS Getting Started guide.

Windows​

If you're on Windows, consider using Windows Terminal instead of cmd.exe to benefit from the colour output.

Usage​

To allow Serenity/JS to print the progress report to standard output, assign the ConsoleReporter to the Stage.

This can be done:

  • via playwright.config.ts, if you're using Serenity/JS with Playwright Test
  • via wdio.conf.ts, if you're using Serenity/JS with WebdriverIO
  • via protractor.conf.js, if you're using Serenity/JS with Protractor
  • or programmatically.
