What are testcafe-reporter-minimal's main functionalities?

Minimalistic Test Reporting

This feature provides a minimalistic output for test results. The code sample demonstrates how to implement a custom reporter that logs the start of the task, the start of each fixture, the result of each test, and the end of the task with a summary.

module.exports = function () {
    return {
        reportTaskStart (startTime, userAgents, testCount) {
            console.log('Running tests in: ' + userAgents);
        },

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

        reportTestDone (name, testRunInfo) {
            console.log('Test: ' + name + ' - ' + (testRunInfo.errs.length ? 'Failed' : 'Passed'));
        },

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