This change makes the reporters, from the js-reporters package, generally available through the primary distribution, instead of being limited to the QUnit CLI.
The built-in reporters are exposed via
QUnit.reporters
.This is a major step toward truly supporting the TAP ecosystem, and popular runners such as Airtap for browser testing, and the node-tap CLI (why not). There is still more work to be done, though, such as making the library more friendly to require'ing, and further decoupling of our HTML Runner/Reporter. As such, this remains experimental as of yet. It can be tried out by calling
QUnit.reporters.tap.init(QUnit)
between importing QUnit and importing your tests, e.g. from an inline script or setup script.This overall direction is outlined in qunitjs/js-reporters#133, and as such apart from bridging older versions, the js-reporters package will not be as actively developed going forward. I'm copying the reporters we developed there into QUnit repository for further developement here, without the indirection of that package.
