How can I show errors, escaped and killed Mutants and syntax errors??

[steevanb]

Hi,

How can i show details about covered mutants were not detected and errors were encountered?

I've tried with -v, -vv and -vvv, i've not found anything about it with --help or in https://infection.github.io/.

The only thing is the json log can be created, but i'm not sure i will have expected informations here and how to have it directly in CLI?

Hi,

• to output escaped mutants to stdout (your terminal), please use --show-mutations, or just its alias -s
• to use human readable log file, please use text logger - in infection.json add logs.text
• information added to text log file is controlled by --log-verbosity

if you will use --log-verbosity=all, it will add logs about killed and errored mutants

The verbosity of the log file, all - this mode will add “Killed mutants” into log file and add additional information, default - normal mode will skip “Killed mutants” section in the log file, none - which will disable logging to files.

so the final solution is

infection.json

{
    "logs": {"text": "infection.log"}
}

and execute Infection with

infection -s --log-verbosity=all

If you want to also log PHPUnit's output, as well as CLI commands that are executed internally by Infection, please use --debug

if you think we can improve anything with the docs, or with the help output - please advise.
