`includeConsoleLog: true` doesn't report console output for tests about jest-html-reporter

Ooh. Well yes the console.log is in the test file :/.

Do you know a way to be able to have those console.log pass to the reporter (those made in spec files) ?

Same issue here.

Jest will not pass on logs made in the test specs to the reporter.

Uhm... I just want to see all console output related to a test suit. So I guess getting basic console.log output is not possible?

Debugging jest tests has been a mess from the start. Because of it's "(pseudo-)multi-threaded nature", console.log calls appear in confusing order and sometimes get swallowed whole. I was hoping that this plugin would sort the corresponding log calls to the corresponding tests, but I guess that would not be easily achievable. I guess it is time for a proper jest logging tool (Googling that only yields the problems with console.log)... :/

Hi,

Interesting! It's difficult to see straight away what might have gone wrong.
Here's a few things to try to pin-point the issue:

Firstly I see that you are configuring Jest via package.json - make sure that you are putting the configurations at the very top as mentioned in the Jest manual:

If you'd like to use your package.json to store Jest's config, the "jest" key should be used on the top level so Jest will know how to find your settings.
source: https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html

Please also give it a try by configuring Jest within a jest.config.js file

Secondly, I ran a test to see if there was any issues - it did work as intended, please note that the console.log output is rendered below the test suite.

Finally, it would be awesome if you could send over the tests from the test spec where the console.logs are defined!

Thanks!

Hello,

The console property is null in the data object :/.
I am using Jest 24. Do you have any idea why ?

Hi,

Is the console log situated within the code being tested or the actual test itself?
Jest will not pass on logs made in the test specs to the reporter.

[Hargne]

Exactly: as of now, Jest does not forward any console.logs made within the test suites to the reporter - only those made within the actual code.

I will close this issue for now, but feel free to open it if you feel that it is still relevant.
