Console messages not working? about cypress-terminal-report HOT 7 CLOSED

If for some reason you still want to use console log in test code do: cy.window().then(w => w.console.log()). Mainly it is not advised to use console log in test code for cypress since cypress uses a queue (async) to execute stuff in order, and plain console.log is sync.

Have just updated to the latest version of the plugin and rechecked.

The plugin installation:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  let config = {};
  config.printLogsToConsole = 'always';
  require('cypress-terminal-report/src/installLogsPrinter')(on, config);
};

And the support installation:

let config = {};
config.collectTypes = ['cons:log', 'cons:info', 'cons:warn', 'cons:error', 'cy:log'];
require('cypress-terminal-report/src/installLogsCollector')(config);

And in the code I have:

    console.log('help');
    console.info('help');
    console.warn('help');
    console.error('help');
    cy.log('help');

This is in a spec file, also tried from a helper file. Only the cy.log one seems to work.

You shouldnt be using console logging in test code. Use cy.log there. The console logs only appear from your application that is tested. Cypress test execution is in primary browser frame and your site being tested is running in a child frame (iframe), only in the later we intercept console logging.

Please provide the plugin version and the options you are using on the collector install.

@archfz Is this documented in the README somewhere? I couldn't see it and thus assumed I could use console.log and it would be recorded automatically.

No it's not documented. Let s add it in that case.
