What Are You Seeing

The following options are not working with reporter htmlextra:

skipFolders, skipRequests and displayProgressBar

Steps To Reproduce The Issue

Looking at htmlextra.js, the above options are not present. Could these be added please else there is no point having 'Skipped Tests' section in the html report if skipRequests option is not working.

Please could you fix this if possible.

Thanks

Hey @gaumzi83

Are you reporting that those flags are not working for you or that they are not part of htmlextra.js?

[gaumzi83]

They are not working for me. So to investigate, I looked at htmlextra.js and they are not present in there.

[DannyDainton]

That file only drives the help menu on the CLI, it has nothing to do with the functionality of the reporter.

Can you provide more context/information about what's not working.

As you can imagine, saying it's not working doesn't really add much detail. 😅

[gaumzi83]

By not working I mean, the reporter option "--reporter-htmlextra-skipRequests" is not skipping the request. I have provided the option with request name in following command and I expect the "send request" to be listed under the "Skipped Tests" section of the report but it is not. Instead, it is still listed under "Total Requests" section of the report.

$ newman run collection.json –e environment.json –d datafile.csv –r cli,junit,htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-skipRequests "send request"

[DannyDainton]

That's not how that flag works:

An optional flag that will exclude specified requests, in the final report.

It will exclude that whole request and the data from the request, from the final report.

Skipped Requests have nothing to do with Skipped Tests. You can skip a test in a request using the pm.test.skip syntax in the Requests test section. That operation has nothing to do with the reporter.

[gaumzi83]

ok understood. But then it should also not appear under "Total Requests" section of the report. isn't it?

[DannyDainton]

That's a different issue but the request did actually run so the numbers are correct but the consistency is off.

It's not something that I'm actively working on so the likelihood of that getting fixed in the near term is very low.

Please feel free to take a look and try and fix that if you like, all PRs are welcome.

I am new to this so I'll wait for your fix. Thank you :)

[DannyDainton]

Just to be clear, you're going to be waiting a long time if you're waiting on me :D
