mocha-pretty-bunyan v1.1.1

mocha-pretty-bunyan

description

bunyan is a pretty nice package to log in json format, and provides an awesome cli to display it in human readable way.

But, when you run your test with mocha, you cannot take benefit of the cli, so you then get raw json logs that is a mess to read.

mocha-pretty-bunyan provides a mocha reporter Spec (by default) that display bunyan with a pretty/human readble format in the context of the mocha default reporter.

Install

npm install mocha-pretty-bunyan --save-dev

Usage

mocha --reporter mocha-pretty-bunyan

example of output:
