publicexternalConsoleReporter

A StageCrewMember that uses standard output to report on progress of your Serenity/JS acceptance tests.

ConsoleReporter ships with colour themes for both dark and light terminals, as well as a monochromatic theme for those moments when you're in a noir mood (or have a terminal that doesn't support colours, like the good old cmd.exe on Windows).

Registering Console Reporter programmatically

 import { configure } from '@serenity-js/core';
 import { ConsoleReporter } from '@serenity-js/console-reporter';

 configure({
   crew: [
     ConsoleReporter.withDefaultColourSupport()
   ],
 });

Redirecting output to a file

 import { configure } from '@serenity-js/core';
 import { ConsoleReporter } from '@serenity-js/console-reporter';
 import { createWriteStream } from 'fs';

 configure({
   outputStream: createWriteStream('./output.log'),
   crew: [ ConsoleReporter.withDefaultColourSupport() ],
 });

Registering Console Reporter with Playwright Test

// playwright.config.ts
import { devices } from '@playwright/test';
import type { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@serenity-js/playwright-test';

const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {

  reporter: [
    [ 'line' ],
    [ 'html', { open: 'never' } ],
    [ '@serenity-js/playwright-test', {
      crew: [
        '@serenity-js/console-reporter',
      ]
    }]
  ],
}

Registering Console Reporter with WebdriverIO

// wdio.conf.ts
import { ConsoleReporter } from '@serenity-js/console-reporter';
import { WebdriverIOConfig } from '@serenity-js/webdriverio';

export const config: WebdriverIOConfig = {

  framework: '@serenity-js/webdriverio',

  serenity: {
    crew: [
      '@serenity-js/console-reporter',
    ]
    // other Serenity/JS config
  },

 // other WebdriverIO config
}

Registering Console Reporter with Protractor

// protractor.conf.js
const { ConsoleReporter } = require('@serenity-js/console-reporter');

exports.config = {
  framework:     'custom',
  frameworkPath: require.resolve('@serenity-js/protractor/adapter'),

  serenity: {
    crew: [
      '@serenity-js/console-reporter',
    ],
    // other Serenity/JS config
  },

  // other Protractor config
}

Changing the default colour theme

  // ...
  serenity: {
    crew: [
      [ '@serenity-js/console-reporter', {
        theme: 'light',
        // theme: 'dark',
        // theme: 'mono',
        // theme: 'auto',
      } ]
    ],
  },
  //...

Methods

staticexternalfromJSON

staticexternalwithDefaultColourSupport

  • Instantiates a ConsoleReporter that auto-detects your terminal's support for colours and uses a colour theme for dark terminals if successful.

    Please note that spawning your test process from another process (by using npm-failsafe, for example) causes the ConsoleReporter to use the monochromatic colour scheme, as colour support can't be detected in child processes.

    Returns StageCrewMemberBuilder<ConsoleReporter>

staticexternalforMonochromaticTerminals

  • Instantiates a ConsoleReporter with a monochromatic colour theme. Good for terminals with no colour support (like the cmd.exe on Windows), or for times when you need to pipe the output to a text file and want to avoid printing control characters.

    Returns StageCrewMemberBuilder<ConsoleReporter>
