How to get Assertion Error in after hook?

[smyth64]

Hi,
I want to get the assertion error after each failed test in order to write it in my database.

How can I achieve that?

Could you expand on your use case? It might be better to use the TAP reporter and process the resulting file.

(I'm closing this issue for housekeeping purposes, but let's keep the conversation going.)

@novemberborn
I was just curious how I can pass the context to the tap output? It seems impossible =/ I want to give some payload information about the errors from the external micro service and some IDs that are generated in the test.

Is there any possibility?

You could log some of that information and it should show up in the TAP output but it won't be structured.

From the looks of it, you're trying to do something a bit beyond just testing your code. That's great but not AVA's core focus.

When we land #1947 you'll have some access to the assertion failures so you could construct something on top of AVA.
