Formatters

We fully support JSON format for Mochawesome.

Reporters

We recommend that you use the Mocha JSON output reporter to output JSON documents.

You could also use the JUnit Reporter for Mocha, but this will results in a lot of data loss for your reports. We don't recommend this.

The XUnit reporter is also available. It outputs an XUnit-compatible XML document, often applicable in CI servers. See the JUnit XML page for more info on XML. By default, it will output to the console. To write directly to a file, use --reporter-options output=filename.xml.

You can manually import these output file types to Calliope.
