Does not generate html report on failed status

[nachchid]

I am using 'protractor-cucumber-framework' and grunt. For html reports I am using 'protractor-cucumber-html-report'

I am able to generate html reports from 'protractor-cucumber-html-report' only if all my steps pass. The issue is : Failed status, in a step gets reflected in json file but its not generating html reports. I have the result.json file attached below.

Gruntfile.js

'protractor-cucumber-html-report': {
default_options: {
options: {
dest: 'reports',//Where you want to generate the HTML report.
output: 'report.html',//File Name
testJSONDirectory: 'reports'//Mention where you have generated JSON format.
}
}
},

HI,
Thank you for your message.
I noticed that you use cucumber 1.3.1 so I belive that cucumber team has again changed the json structure. I will try to update task accordingly to the new cucumber version.
Could you also try to downgrade the cucumber to 1.2.2 and then check whether the report is OK or not?

Tkank you,
Maciej Kamela

I am new to cucumber and protractor ... how to do I downgrade cucumber to 1.2.2.

I tried npm install cucumber@1.2.2 . It did not work

[maciejkamela]

Hi,
It should work. Another way is to change cucumber version in package.json to 1.2.2 then removing node_modules directory and again run npm install.

[nachchid]

it worked on version 1.2.2. Will this be fixed to support cucumber 1.3.1?

[maciejkamela]

That's the plan. But don't know yet when exactly is to be done.
Stay tunned.

[nachchid]

@maciejkamela : I had it working on 1.2.2. and suddenly it failed generate html report on failed status with cucumber v 1.2.2.

I tried to delete node_modules and did a npm install .. but no luck

hi,
I will reconfigure my project's dependencies and will use yours then check wheter I can generate properly report and will let you know.
take care

[maciejkamela]

Hi,
I checked and your configuration seems to be fine, so problem is somewhere else. Anyway in the next following days I will implement all neccessary tweaks to make the newest cucumber working with my plugin.

Best Regards,

[maciejkamela]

}
I use pretty old grunt.
Please check and let me know if you notice some errors.

[nachchid]

Thanks! looking fwd for your the new version.

I see that I am using grunt": "^1.0.1", . Do you think that matters. Other than that I don't see anything wrong .

Also to note that after updating my node to 4.0.9 and chrome driver to chromedriver_2.25. I had this issue of reporter not working.

[maciejkamela]

Hi,
The grunt should not matter in that case. But do you have still some problems with reporter? Where exactly? Please send me the json file and listed dependencies which you use.
Thank you
