Range attribute only showing { Start: [object], End: [object] } in JS implementation

[JosephSNewman]

I wrote a rule in JS and lint through JS code, but when I call the file in the cmd line the range attributes seem to be empty. did I miss something in the rule? Why does this happen? Thank you!

  {
    code: 'No-HTML-In-Description',
    message: 'Field descriptions should not inculde HTML Syntax description',
    path: [ 'info', 'description' ],
    severity: 0,
    range: { start: [Object], end: [Object] }
  },

If you use console.log to print out the result, you need to stringify the result prior to that, as console.log doesn't print objects that are deeply nested within other objects.
In other words, the update code could look as follows console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));

Thank you this really helps. when I run it, I get..

throw new aggregateError['default'](this.errors, 'Error running Nimma');
            ^

AggregateError: Error running Nimma

Here is a sample of my code? did I get the logic wrong somewhere?

const { Spectral } = require("@stoplight/spectral-core");
const ruleset = require("./customRuleset"); 
const contract4_badVersion = require('../TestContract_badVersion.json');

const spectral = new Spectral();
spectral.setRuleset(ruleset)
const results = spectral.run(contract4_badVersion);
console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));

Thank you for your help!

Actual errors should be listed in this.errors array, so they should be more helpful.
You can try printing out to the console using console.log, like console.log(ex.errors);

try {
  const results = await spectral.run(contract4_badVersion);
} catch (ex) {
  console.log(ex && 'errors' in ex ? ex.errors : ex);
}

Thank you! this is awesome and working great! One last question is there to modify the output so its more readable like the output when useing the command line version of spectral?

for example, from this:

  {
    "code": "Field-Type-Required",
    "message": "properties.type must be defined.",
    "path": [
      "components",
      "schemas",
      "ARDMockerContract",
      "properties"
    ],
    "severity": 0,
    "range": {
      "start": {
        "line": 4244,
        "character": 21
      },
      "end": {
        "line": 4304,
        "character": 40
      }
    }
  }

To something like this...

For the output, I suggest that you simply copy the code from our repo https://github.com/stoplightio/spectral/blob/develop/packages/cli/src/formatters/stylish.ts.
Alternatively, you could install @stoplight/spectral-cli and do import { stylish } from '@stoplight/spectral-cli/dist/formatters/stylish'; but this may break in newer versions.
