Hmm, is there some reason this is preferred over just using shell redirection?

I would prefer to be able to output a complete test as one txt file. They can collect in a directory. Then get sucked into a db for later use.

I thought it was the --output command argument that would save the data to a specified file, but it doesnt work or I could be doing something wrong.

-c --output data.txt
Somehow I could not find that data.txt file.

Looks like -o/--output existed in a previous version but in not in the current version. The consensus in yesterday's meeting was that if --output existed then we should fix it, otherwise people should just use shell redirection and we'll mark this WontFix. So, WontFix.

Status: WontFix

Thanks for the update.

Wouldn't it make sense to re-open this issue and state that it will use -o-/--output, instead? That way, it can be tracked easily.

Alternatively, I can open a new issue for support for it, if you prefer.

yes, -o/--output should be fixed. it's very misleading. in the version I have used, 2.0.5, the flag is documented in help, but does nothing (and gives no error). this is very confusing and I wasted some time trying variations. in windows io redirection seems shaky and all results don't seem to be flushed to the file after hard-cancelling the process.

Hi all,

I have to save my results...
