        },

        reportFixtureStart (name, path) {
            console.log('Fixture: ' + name);
        },

        reportTestDone (name, testRunInfo) {
            console.log('Test: ' + name);
        },

        reportTaskDone (endTime, passed, warnings) {
            console.log('Tests finished. Passed: ' + passed);

Customizing Output

This code sample shows how to customize the output of the `testcafe-reporter-list` package. It includes more detailed logging, such as the start time, user agents, and the total number of tests. It also logs the path of each fixture and whether each test passed or failed.

module.exports = function () {
    return {
        noColors: true,

        reportTaskStart (startTime, userAgents, testCount) {
            console.log(`Starting tests at ${startTime} with ${userAgents}. Total tests: ${testCount}`);
        },

        reportFixtureStart (name, path) {
            console.log(`Fixture started: ${name} (${path})`);
        },

        reportTestDone (name, testRunInfo) {
            const hasErr = testRunInfo.errs.length > 0;
            const result = hasErr ? 'FAILED' : 'PASSED';
            console.log(`Test ${name}: ${result}`);
        },

        reportTaskDone (endTime, passed, warnings) {
            console.log(`All tests completed at ${endTime}. Passed: ${passed}. Warnings: ${warnings.length}`);
        }
    };
};

Other packages similar to testcafe-reporter-list

testcafe-reporter-spec

The `testcafe-reporter-spec` package provides a spec-style reporter for TestCafe. It outputs test results in a hierarchical format, showing the structure of the test suite and the results of each test. This is similar to `testcafe-reporter-list` but offers a different format for displaying results.

testcafe-reporter-json

The `testcafe-reporter-json` package outputs test results in JSON format. This is useful for integrating TestCafe with other tools and systems that can consume JSON data. Unlike `testcafe-reporter-list`, which focuses on human-readable output, `testcafe-reporter-json` is designed for machine consumption.

testcafe-reporter-xunit

The `testcafe-reporter-xunit` package outputs test results in the XUnit format, which is commonly used for CI/CD pipelines and other automated systems. This reporter is useful for integrating TestCafe with systems that require XUnit-formatted results, providing a different output format compared to `testcafe-reporter-list`.
