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

Generate xUnit Report

This code sample demonstrates how to create a custom reporter using the testcafe-reporter-xunit package. The reporter outputs the start and end of the test run, as well as the status of each test and fixture.

module.exports = function () {
  return {
    noColors: true,
    reportTaskStart (startTime, userAgents, testCount) {
      console.log('Starting test run...');
    },
    reportFixtureStart (name, path) {
      console.log(`Fixture: ${name}`);
    },
    reportTestDone (name, testRunInfo) {
      console.log(`Test: ${name} - ${testRunInfo.skipped ? 'skipped' : 'done'}`);
    },
    reportTaskDone (endTime, passed, warnings) {
      console.log('Test run complete.');
    }
  };
};

Other packages similar to testcafe-reporter-xunit

testcafe-reporter-json

The testcafe-reporter-json package outputs test results in JSON format. This format is useful for further processing or integration with other tools that consume JSON. Unlike testcafe-reporter-xunit, which is tailored for xUnit-compatible systems, testcafe-reporter-json provides a more flexible and general-purpose output.

testcafe-reporter-html

The testcafe-reporter-html package generates test results in an HTML format. This is useful for creating human-readable reports that can be easily shared and reviewed. While testcafe-reporter-xunit is designed for CI systems, testcafe-reporter-html focuses on providing a visually appealing report for manual inspection.

testcafe-reporter-junit

The testcafe-reporter-junit package outputs test results in the JUnit XML format, which is another popular format for CI systems. It is similar to testcafe-reporter-xunit in that it targets CI integration, but it uses the JUnit format instead of xUnit.
