karma-mocha-reporter
Advanced tools
The karma-mocha-reporter is an npm package that provides a reporter for the Karma test runner, specifically designed to work with Mocha. It offers a clean and readable output of test results, making it easier to understand the status of your tests.
Basic Usage
This code sample demonstrates the basic setup of the karma-mocha-reporter in a Karma configuration file. It sets Mocha as the testing framework and uses the Mocha reporter to display test results.
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ['mocha'],
reporters: ['mocha'],
browsers: ['Chrome'],
files: [
'test/**/*.js'
]
});
};Customizing Output
This code sample shows how to customize the output of the karma-mocha-reporter. By setting the 'output' option to 'full', you can get detailed information about each test, including the test name, duration, and status.
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ['mocha'],
reporters: ['mocha'],
mochaReporter: {
output: 'full'
},
browsers: ['Chrome'],
files: [
'test/**/*.js'
]
});
};Using with Other Reporters
This code sample demonstrates how to use the karma-mocha-reporter alongside other reporters, such as the coverage reporter. The 'output' option is set to 'minimal' for a concise summary of test results, while the coverage reporter generates an HTML report of code coverage.
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ['mocha'],
reporters: ['mocha', 'coverage'],
mochaReporter: {
output: 'minimal'
},
coverageReporter: {
type: 'html',
dir: 'coverage/'
},
browsers: ['Chrome'],
files: [
'test/**/*.js'
]
});
};The karma-spec-reporter is another reporter for the Karma test runner that provides a detailed and hierarchical view of test results. It is similar to karma-mocha-reporter but offers a different style of output, focusing on a more structured and indented format.
The karma-jasmine-html-reporter is designed for use with the Jasmine testing framework and provides an HTML-based view of test results. While it serves a similar purpose to karma-mocha-reporter, it is tailored for Jasmine rather than Mocha.
The karma-nyan-reporter is a fun and visually engaging reporter for Karma that displays test results using a Nyan Cat animation. It offers a unique and entertaining way to view test results, in contrast to the more straightforward output of karma-mocha-reporter.

Shows a diff output. Is disabled by default. All credits to the contributors of mocha, since the diff logic is used from there and customized for this module.
Currently only works with karma-mocha >= v0.2.2 Not supported for karma-jasmine since the additional properties needed to render the diff are not supported in jasmine yet.
Possible Values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
true | prints each diff in its own line, same as 'unified' |
'unified' | prints each diff in its own line |
'inline' | prints diffs inline |
// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ['mocha', 'chai'],
// reporters configuration
reporters: ['mocha'],
// reporter options
mochaReporter: {
showDiff: true
}
});
};
Type: String
Default: 80 equals signs ('=')
The string to output between multiple test runs. Set to false or empty string to disable
// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ['jasmine'],
// reporters configuration
reporters: ['mocha'],
// reporter options
mochaReporter: {
divider: ''
}
});
};
Type: Boolean
Possible Values:
false (default)trueWhen setting the ignoreSkipped flag to true, the reporter will ignore the skipped tests in the output and you will see only the tests that where really executed. The summary will still contain the number of skipped tests.
Type: Number
Lets you set the maximum number of lines which are printed for a failure. The default value is 999. Helps to cut long stack traces.
Set the value to -1 to disable stack traces.
Type: Boolean
Possible Values:
false (default)truePrints the result of an it block after it is run in one browser. This options is useful when you have tests which are conditionally run in one browser only. Otherwise the result of the it block would not be printed because it was not run in all browsers.
// testfile.spec.js
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/firefox/i)) {
describe('Firefox tests', function() {
it('this would only be reported when printFirstSuccess is true', function() {
console.log('firefox test');
});
});
}
describe('Other tests', function() {
it('this should be always reported', function() {
console.log('hello world');
});
});
In lieu of a formal styleguide take care to maintain the existing coding style. Lint and test your code using grunt.
