Dredd redirects server output

[aledeg]

Unlike many tools available, I cannot have a nice progress output with dredd on CLI.

I am thinking of a dot progress like you can find with tools like behat or phpunit.
We could have something like:

.....F..E...S............F..E...S............F..E...S................. 70
...............F..E...S............F..E...S............F..E...S....... 140
.....
145 tests (121 passed, 6 failed, 6 errored, 6 skipped)

This would be great especially when using with travis.

Bonus will be with colors :)

I think you want the --reporter=dot argument to get that output. Other options are: junit, nyan, dot, markdown, html, and apiary. See: https://dredd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage-cli/#-reporter-r

Ha, I forgot about --reporter=dot. @aledeg Would that work for you?

[aledeg]

@ecordell I wasn't aware of that option. Good catch!
@honzajavorek Sure! as soon as I can make it work. So far, no luck.

I think the dot reporter is not working. Dredd stall when used with that reporter.

I am using the dot reporter, but for some reason, the output is not what I am expecting.

Instead of having something like

...F..

I have something like:

F[Tue Aug 23 11:51:39 2016] 127.0.0.1:44062 [400]: /dredd.php/book/1

How should I configure dredd to get the output I'd like?

[honzajavorek]

Seems like a bug to me. My fault, I should have better check if everything works as expected when closing #594.

Looks like the dot reporter never properly worked and you are digging it up from its tomb. I'm sorry for the issues, but many thanks for going through this! I'll try to look into it in following days.
