🤔 What's changed?
htmlandmessage) as plugins and ensure they still workThe formatter plugin has a very lean interface for now - it can listen for messages, write to the output, and access the
formatOptionsfrom the configuration. The idea is to reimplement more builtin formatters and in doing so find and fill limitations, and probably also build out a useful test harness or pattern for people writing their own formatters.So far we have only changes formatters that are not exported, to avoid any breaking changes and give us room to alter course if we need to in the short term. Next candidates for reimplementing will be:
junit(recently added, not exported)json(because of make json formatter reusable outside cucumber-js #2239, will still export legacy version for a compatibility period)progress-bar(not exported, needs direct access to the stream)@cucumber/pretty-formatter(separate package, needs access to snippet syntax)⚡️ What's your motivation?
Per #2091 we're working towards a plugin system, and that includes bring formatters into that with a leaner message-based interface.
