What is karma-spec-reporter?

The karma-spec-reporter is a reporter for the Karma test runner that provides a detailed and readable output of test results. It is particularly useful for developers who want a clear and concise summary of their test results in the console.

What are karma-spec-reporter's main functionalities?

Detailed Test Reporting

This feature allows you to configure Karma to use the spec reporter, which provides detailed and readable output of test results. The code sample shows how to set up the spec reporter in the Karma configuration file.

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    reporters: ['spec'],
    // other configurations
  });
};

Customizable Output

This feature allows you to customize the output of the spec reporter. The code sample demonstrates various configuration options such as limiting the number of log lines per test, suppressing error summaries, and more.

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    reporters: ['spec'],
    specReporter: {
      maxLogLines: 5, // limit number of lines logged per test
      suppressErrorSummary: true, // do not print error summary
      suppressFailed: false, // do not print information about failed tests
      suppressPassed: false, // do not print information about passed tests
      suppressSkipped: true, // do not print information about skipped tests
      showSpecTiming: false, // print the time elapsed for each spec
      failFast: false // test would finish with error when a first fail occurs.
    },
    // other configurations
  });
};
