Question: Any plans on adding allure reporting? (or any other reporting mechanism)

[kumarpatel]

I tried added @wdio/allure-reporter to the npm global install list in Dockerfile

RUN apk --no-cache add \
    nodejs \
    npm \
    ffmpeg \
    android-tools@edgetesting \
  && npm install -g \
    npm@latest \
    @wdio/cli@^5.7.13 \
    @wdio/local-runner@^5.7.13 \
    @wdio/mocha-framework@^5.7.13 \
    @wdio/spec-reporter@^5.7.13 \
    @wdio/allure-reporter \
    @wdio/sync@^5.7.13 \
    chai@^4.2.0 \
    mailhog@^4.1.0 \
    uuid@^3.3.2 \
    wdio-screen-commands@^2.6.0 \
    webdriverio@^5.7.13 \
    lodash@^4.17.11 \

and added the config in wdio.conf.js

reporters: ["spec", "allure"],
  reporterOptions: {
    allure: {
      outputDir: "allure-results",
      disableWebdriverStepsReporting: true,
      disableWebdriverScreenshotsReporting: true,
      useCucumberStepReporter: false
    }
  },

Here's the error I get

Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Maybe you forgot to rebuild the Docker image?

I don't have plans to add additional packages to the blueimp/wdio Docker image.

The purpose of this project is more like a starter kit, so it's recommended to fork it and create your own Docker Hub Automated build if you require additional software inside the Docker image.

So if you make changes to the Dockerfile, you should build your own image, e.g.:

docker build -t YOUR_USERNAME/wdio .

Then in docker-compose.yml, replace blueimp/wdio with YOUR_USERNAME/wdio.

Also, the Allure outputDir must be in a writable directory, for example reports/allure:

exports.config = Object.assign({}, require('./hooks'), {
  // ...
  reporters: [
    'spec',
    [
      'allure',
      {
        outputDir: 'reports/allure',
        disableWebdriverStepsReporting: true,
        disableWebdriverScreenshotsReporting: true
      }
    ]
  ],
  // ...
})

oh, I see.
I'll give that approach a try.
Thanks again for your help.
