Configuration

this plugin accepts configuration options in the following format:

aftconfig.json

{
    "plugins": [
      {"name": "filesystem-reporting-plugin", "searchDir": "./node_modules"}
    ],
    "FilesystemReportingPluginConfig": {
        "logLevel": "trace",
        "outputPath": "./full/path/or/relative/path/to/directory",
        "includeResults": false,
        "dateFormat": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS"
    }
}

• logLevel - a string containing a valid LogLevel (defaults to trace if not set)
• outputPath - a string with either an absolute path or a relative path from the process.cwd() where .log files will be created (defaults to path.join(process.cwd(), 'logs'))
• includeResults - a boolean indicating whether calls to any ReportingManager.submitResult function will output the TestResult to the .log file (defaults to true)
• dateFormat - a string that can include Date Formatting as outlined at the date-and-time npm package

Log Format

all log files are written using UTF-8 encoding and by default will resemble the following:

./logs/your_value_for_LogName.log
