Logger improvement possibility

[JoanEsquivel]

Hi @hdorgeval
It is a pleasure to me to be here again!

I have an amazing idea(that may be impossible) but in case it is possible to implement, might be so good.

I have been trying this package https://www.npmjs.com/package/testcafe-reporter-html-logger-custom and it has a "log" function to get steps in JSON and then get them printed out in HTML.

Just wondering if something like that can be mixed with the logic u use with this package.

Appreciate you read this and hope you are fine.

Hi @JoanEsquivel, I will have a look to this reporter and see what I can do for you.

Hi @JoanEsquivel , I think I understand your requirement.

I have developed in the past a static analyser of testcafe feature files that was able to extract steps from test method like this:

test("Scenario: scenario example", async () => {
  // Only on devci
  code omitted for brevity

  // Given I signed in the App
  code omitted for brevity

  // When I enter my name
  code omitted for brevity

  // And I enter my email
  code omitted for brevity

  // Then I can send my feedback to TestCafe team
  code omitted for brevity
});

You can have a look at : https://github.com/hdorgeval/testcafe-static-analyser

I think this approach is even better than the one provided by the testcafe-reporter-html-logger-custom because you do not clutter your test code, and the benefit is that you increase clarity of your test code by just inserting Given/When/Then comments, and those comments will be automatically converted to a Gherkin step in the final report.

The only limitation is that when a test fails you will not know at which step it has failed.

Please tell me if my analysis is good and if this is what you are looking for.
Thanks.
