Multiple formatter doesn't work for me about grunt-cucumberjs

[lenntt]

I verified this again from a clean environment. I can't get multiple formats to work in any way.
@gkushang any idea what might be (or might I be doing) wrong?

Hi @SirLenz0rlot

Did you try with below options? It works for us. Plus, our cucumber version is "cucumber": "0.9.5", which has multi-formatter support,

    return {
            options: {
                formats: ['html', 'pretty'],
                output: 'test/acceptance/report/cucumber_report.html',

Let us know if it does not work.

I was on cucumber 0.9.2, but even upgrading cucumber to 0.10.2 didn't help.

It doesn't throw errors, but it doesn't print any 'pretty' output when running either.

The spawn arguments when spawning cuucmber seem to be ok.
When I do
node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber.js -t @signoff -f pretty -f json:reports/cucumber.html.json
I get both a json and the pretty print.

I think I found the cause, in processHandler.js, options.isHtml is being used as a flag to
'eat up' console logging.

This makes things bettter for me, but may pollute the terminal for other users (?):

cucumber.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
    grunt.log.write(data);
    if (options.isHtml) {
        if (options.debug) {
            process.stdout.write(data);
        }
        buffer.push(data);
    }
});

The current code:

cucumber.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
    if (options.isHtml) {
        if (options.debug) {
            process.stdout.write(data);
        }
        buffer.push(data);
    } else {
        grunt.log.write(data);
    }
});

@SirLenz0rlot Did you try providing multi-formatters in your CucumberJs options as shown below,

    return {
            options: {
                formats: ['html', 'pretty'],

It should pretty print the console when you run the tasks without Parallel executions. Let us know if that does not work for you.

Yes, of course I did :), as in the first post.
It doesn't for me.

@SirLenz0rlot We are able to pretty print with [email protected]. It would be very helpful to debug if you could share any errors you see, the command you use to run tasks and cucumberjs.js options.

This is one of the many grunt configurations I tried in my Gruntfile.js.
I call it with grunt cucumberjs:signoff

    cucumberjs: {
        options: {
            tags: [ "~@Pending "],
            formats: ["html", "pretty"],
            templateDir: "template",
            output: "reports/cucumber.html",
            saveJSon: "true"
        },
        features: [],

        signoff: {
            options: {
                tags: [ "~@Pending", "@signoff" ]
            }
        },
  }

As mentioned before, I'm not seeing any errors, it just doesn't print any cucumber output to the terminal.
Oh, and I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.

If you run yourself with formats: ["html", "pretty"]. Does your code hits the callback on cucumber.stdout.on('data', in processHandler.js ??

The code in processHandler.js seems to only log to the terminal (like pretty print) if options.isHtml is not set to true, which is the case, because I use 'html' too as a formatter.

@SirLenz0rlot I had the same issue as you. As a workaround I added debug: true in the options and it seems to print the output to console log and html report.

cucumberjs: {
        options: {
            tags: [ "~@Pending "],
            formats: ["html", "pretty"],
            debug: "true",
            templateDir: "template",
            output: "reports/cucumber.html",
            saveJSon: "true"
        },
        features: [],

        signoff: {
            options: {
                tags: [ "~@Pending", "@signoff" ]
            }
        },
  }

@vidz2 Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling.
I'm using the debug flag too, for now.

[gkushang]

closing the issue since "debug: true" prints the console with pretty formatter
