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.

Usage with Playwright Test

                // console reporter with a theme for 'dark', 'light' or 'mono' terminals
