mocha-spec-json-output-reporter

mocha spec + json output file reporter

Combines the spec and json reporter but instead of outputting the json to the console, writes it to a file

Install

npm install --save-dev mocha-spec-json-output-reporter

Run with Mocha

mocha -R mocha-spec-json-output-reporter

Output file

The default file output will be mocha-output-<date> in the current working directory

Reporter Options

• fileName - specify exact name of output file
• filePath - specify exact directory to put output file - this path must exist
• hierarchy - (true|false) - if enabled will place inner describe blocks as inner test suites of the parent describe block

mocha --reporter-options fileName=my-file.json,filePath=/mydirectory/subfolder,hierarchy=true
