pyATS Custom Standalone Reporter

Add emojis to the original pyATS Standalone Reporter to make large runs more scannable at a glance (without changing how you write tests).

• ✅ PASSED  ❌ FAILED  🚨 ERRORED  🟡 ABORTED  🚫 BLOCKED  ⏭️ SKIPPED
• Keeps the classic tree (|--, `--) but aligns a RESULT column with emojis.
• Pure aetest integration... you only pass a custom reporter to AEtest.main().

---

Why

pyATS’ default standalone reporter is functional, but it’s easy to lose scanability on big outputs. This reporter keeps the same structure and simply adds emojis to improve quick visual parsing.

---

Install

Place the module in your project (e.g. pyats_custom_reporter.py) or install from your repo/package.

---

Quick Start

from pyats import aetest
from pyats_custom_reporter import CustomReporter  # ← this package

def main():
    # AEtest Standalone Execution: pass your reporter
    aetest.main(__file__, reporter=CustomReporter())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

That’s it. Your tests run as usual; the output shows the Detailed Results tree with emojis and a Summary.

---

How it fits into AEtest

aetest.main() (Standalone Execution) accepts several parameters. The one we use here is:

• reporter (BaseRootReporter): pass an instance of your reporter. We pass CustomReporter() to replace the default StandaloneReporter presentation with emoji-augmented output.

Full API for AEtest.main() and Standalone Execution is in the links below.
