Walkthrough

The PR adds a new optional configuration flag extendTestDescriptionWithLastError (default true) to control whether error logs are appended to test descriptions. Changes include option normalization in the reporter constructor, conditional error appending logic, default test configuration, and corresponding test coverage.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation README.md	Documents the new optional extendTestDescriptionWithLastError configuration flag with description of its behavior when enabled
Core Implementation lib/mochaReporter.js	Normalizes reporter options via a new this.options object with extendTestDescriptionWithLastError flag; conditionally appends error block to test description based on flag value instead of always appending when errors exist
Test Infrastructure & Coverage test/mocks.js, test/testItemsReporting.test.js	Adds extendTestDescriptionWithLastError: true to default mock configuration; introduces new test cases verifying error descriptions are not appended when flag is disabled

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10–15 minutes

• Focus areas: Option normalization logic in constructor (lib/mochaReporter.js); verify conditional error-appending behavior aligns with test expectations
• Note: Changes follow a consistent, single-purpose pattern with straightforward conditional logic across multiple files

Poem

🐰 A flag hops into the fold,
Errors now tell when they're told,
Test descriptions dance with care,
Only showing woes where they dare! 🎉
