A nicer reporter for Karma.

#What is this?

A "nicer" reporter for karma test runner designed to show you what you need to know at a glance:

• Only prints details for failed tests
• Color-coded summary passed/failed/skipped per suite
• Shortens URLs of files in error message print out

#Installation

npm install karma-nicer-reporter --save-dev

#Usage

In your karma configuration file include nicer as a (or the) reporter.

...
reporters: ['nicer'],
...

#Configuration

Adding a nicerReporter entry in your karma configuration file, you can override the default colors (which come from chalk).

...
nicerReporter : {
  defaulColor: 'cyan',
  successColor: 'green',
  failColor: 'red',
  skipColor: 'yellow',
  errorLogColor: 'white'
}
...

#Development

There is an example karma.conf.js and some example specs you can run to see the output. These are best run using:

gulp test

Which overwrites index.js in the node_modules folder before running karma start.

Pull requests welcome.

#Roadmap

One feature missing is times for individual tests, which isn't there because we don't print individual tests unless they fail. Perhaps it could be included as a second runner.

Also, this has only been tested with:

autoWatch: false,
singleRun: true,

And not in any CI enviroment.
