Usage

This package is used internally in @cucumber/cucumber to provide the summary, progress and pretty formatters; you don't need to install or manage it yourself. For usage, see https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js/blob/main/docs/formatters.md.

You can use these low-level classes to provide formatting for a different implementation of Cucumber.

SummaryPrinter

Prints a summary of test results including non-passing scenarios, statistics, and snippets.

import { SummaryPrinter } from '@cucumber/pretty-formatter'

const printer = new SummaryPrinter()

// each time a message is emitted
printer.update(envelope)

Can also be used to summarise a test run that already happened, with a pre-populated Query object:

import { Query } from '@cucumber/query'
import { SummaryPrinter } from '@cucumber/pretty-formatter'

const query = new Query()

// each time a message is emitted
query.update(envelope)

// later
SummaryPrinter.summarise(query)

ProgressPrinter

Prints test progress as single-character status indicators.

import { ProgressPrinter } from '@cucumber/pretty-formatter'

const printer = new ProgressPrinter()

// each time a message is emitted
printer.update(envelope)

PrettyPrinter

Prints test progress in a prettified Gherkin-style format.

import { PrettyPrinter } from '@cucumber/pretty-formatter'

const printer = new PrettyPrinter()

// each time a message is emitted
printer.update(envelope)

Themes

Here's the schema for a theme:

interface Theme {
    attachment?: Style
    dataTable?: {
        all?: Style
        border?: Style
        content?: Style
    }
    docString?: {
        all?: Style
        content?: Style
        delimiter?: Style
        mediaType?: Style
    }
    feature?: {
        all?: Style
        keyword?: Style
        name?: Style
    }
    location?: Style
    rule?: {
        all?: Style
        keyword?: Style
        name?: Style
    }
    scenario?: {
        all?: Style
        keyword?: Style
        name?: Style
    }
    status?: {
        all?: Partial<Record<TestStepResultStatus, Style>>
        icon?: Partial<Record<TestStepResultStatus, string>>
        progress?: Partial<Record<TestStepResultStatus, string>>
    }
    step?: {
        argument?: Style
        keyword?: Style
        text?: Style
    }
    tag?: Style
    symbol?: {
        bullet?: string
    }
}

enum TestStepResultStatus {
    UNKNOWN = "UNKNOWN",
    PASSED = "PASSED",
    SKIPPED = "SKIPPED",
    PENDING = "PENDING",
    UNDEFINED = "UNDEFINED",
    AMBIGUOUS = "AMBIGUOUS",
    FAILED = "FAILED"
}

Style is any Node.js supported modifier or an array of them.

See the default theme for a good example. It's exported as CUCUMBER_THEME, so you can clone and extend it if you'd like.
