One of major changes in recent @CodeceptJS was removal of allure reporter

I didn't do it for political reasons

It just happened, that Allure reporter v1 was not maintained and Allure v2 has not been released. It took 4 years for team to not release it at all

@CodeceptJS I remember I spent a lot of time integrating Allure in CodeceptJS. I liked the flexibility of API as I could put nested steps into it. However, implementation became very complex (it is always complex for nested steps)

I thought Allure would be a standard of reporters.

However

For unobvious reasons Allure team stopped development of their JS version and started v2.

Also Allure still required Java to run. Phewww...

It was complicated and was too heavy for a simple HTML report

Even reports were beautiful...

As of now I don't know any standard reporter that coud replace Allure. I don't plan to add Allure 2 as they maintainers my broke my trust (also for political reasons as well)

Instead I will transform our @testomatio reporter into a lightweight all #JavaScript framework compatible reporter

You won't be locked to one output format as with Allure or Report portal but you will be able to connect any of them!

Let's say you want to

✅ receive a simplified test report as a comment to GitHub

✅ get complete HTML report

✅ push data to Clickhouse database for analytics

✅ get CSV report for manager

And all that exporters will be provided out of box and you could add your own!

Testomatio reporter github.com/testomatio/rep… already works with all popular frameworks, can parse steps and upload artifacts

Also I almost hired a developer to work on that mission

So it sounds like a new #opensource venture for us!

Stay tuned for new test reporter in #JS world
