      }
      else {

      console.log('Starting tests at: ' + startTime);
      console.log('Running tests in: ' + userAgents);
      console.log(testCount + ' tests to run');
    },
    reportFixtureStart (name, path) {
      console.log('Fixture: ' + name + ' (' + path + ')');
    },
    reportTestDone (name, testRunInfo) {
      console.log('Test: ' + name);
      if (testRunInfo.skipped) {

      }
      else {
        console.log('Test passed: ' + testRunInfo.passed);
        console.log('Duration: ' + testRunInfo.durationMs + 'ms');
      }
    },
    reportTaskDone (endTime, passed, warnings) {
      console.log('Task done at: ' + endTime);
      console.log('Passed: ' + passed);
      if (warnings.length) {
        console.log('Warnings: ' + warnings.join('\n'));
      }
    }
