default mode separate test name from test case name

[faassen]

When a test fails on FF Linux, I get output like this identifying the test failure:

Firefox 14.0.1, Linux sync tests source update from HTTP response

This is in test case 'sync tests' and in the test 'source update from HTTP response'. But no separation between browser identification, test case identification and test identification is made.

I understand that buster.js's test reporting feature hereby advocates constructing a test case name and a test name in such a way that they form a sentence together. I'm not sure how that is supposed to work, so I think more documentation is warranted, unless I missed it.

This also seems to be an approach not common to most test runners in my experience. I expect a separation between browser, test case name and test name to be clearly visible in the output. Should buster do test naming advocacy or should at least the default mode be one where things are separated?

Firefox 14.0.1, Linux | sync tests | source update from HTTP response

There are other reporters that display this differently. In the next version, browser will be separated clearly. We'll review this issue after the next version is out.

@cjohansen, brief reporter still doesn't separate browser. Couldn't we just change this line to

return env.contexts.concat(event.name).join(" | "); 

That way the contexts are separated visually, but can still be read as one sentence.

Sure!

Implemented in version 0.7.10 of buster-test.
