Use different reporter for tape
Opened this issue · 8 comments
Is it possible to use a different reporter for tape? The one on the web doesn't show a whole lot of information ( like when two things aren't equal, what each actually are)
@vvo do you use tape? Maybe you have some thoughts here?
This is a place where I am a little lost. I do use tape and do find that the current output is really not good.
But I do not know any better browser tap reporter.
What we would need to do is parse the tap output like now and do a better job for things like equal or deepEqual.
Most of the time I would use the console to get a somehow better tap output (reporting).
@saulshanabrook Can you show us a bad reporting case and how you would like to see it?
On the console side, I use https://github.com/scottcorgan/tap-spec, veryyyy good cc @scottcorgan
For example, it was telling me that two things weren't equal, but wasn't showing what either of them actually were then.
I am not using tape anymore currently.
Interesting, what do you use instead?
I have started using selenium instead, with webdriverio, because I needed more accurate full integration tests then I could get just running javascript in the browser.
This is a GREAT console output plugin for tape and browserify: https://github.com/Jam3/tap-dev-tool.
Also, I don't think it would be hard to port over a something like tap-spec to something like a tap-spec-browser.
require('tap-spec-browser'); would be awesome 💃
