Getting 'Custom reporters must export a unique 'reporterName' property' issue while trying to use Custom Reporters.

[JaspreetBamrah]

The problem

I am getting the following error message while trying to use the Custom Reporters.
My config file:
var CustomReporter = require('./reporter/my.custom.reporter');

exports.config = {
reporters: [CustomReporter],
reporterOptions: {
outputDir: './'
}
}
My.custom.reporter.js contains:
var util = require('util'),
events = require('events');
var CustomReporter = function(options) {
....
}
same as available in the project.

ERROR: Error: Custom reporters must export a unique 'reporterName' property
at Launcher.initReporters

Environment

1. appium -v. 1.6.4
2. npm -v 4.2.0
3. node -v v7.10.0
4. java version "1.8.0_131"

Can someone help please.

@JaspreetBamrah

You can fix this by adding reporterName property to CustomReporter.

var CustomReporter = require('./reporter/my.custom.reporter');
CustomReporter.reporterName = 'myCustomReporter';

@andriilazebnyi Thank you so much for your reply. And this goes in the config file?
Sorry I am still a new learner and I want to implement good looking HTML reports for my testing test results in Jasmine with WebDriverIO. Any suggestions please.

@andriilazebnyi Adding the following code in config file did resolve my issue
var CustomReporter = require('./reporter/my.custom.reporter');
CustomReporter.reporterName = 'myCustomReporter';

But I want to have a HTML formatted report. Can we do this using Custom Reporter in WebDriverIO or is there a plugin?

Why don't you use the Allure reporter?

I did try my hands on the Allure reporter:

wdio config:
reporters: [allure],
reporterOptions: {
allure: {
outputDir: 'allure-results'
}
},
Command I am using:
allure generate './allure-results' && allure report open

Command Result:
Allure: Target directory /Users/jaspreet/Desktop/Jazz/Official/tests-mobileBK/tradie/allure-report for the report is already in use, add a '--clean' option to overwrite
jaspreets-mbp:tradie jaspreet$ allure generate './allure-results' --clean && allure report open

It's all in the docs 😉
