xunit reporter does not exist with version 2.2.0

[MaxK4Code]

issue: Bug (maybe)

background: Some days ago testcafe-reporter-xunit was shipped with testcafe in version 2.1.0. Everything worked and was awesome. ;) We use the current version of testcafe (1.17.1).

After your new release of 2.2.0 a new developer in our team installed testcafe and got this version from npm. In testcafe there is a dependency of ^2.1.0 for the reporter.

If we run testcafe we get the following error: The "xunit" reporter does not exist. Check the reporter parameter for errors.

(checked on multiple devices and projects)

workaround: We install the version 2.1.0 of the reporter and it works.

Oh oh?

Best regards Max

Hey I have the same problem and can not run my testcafe in all project how did you reduce the version from 2.2 to 2.1.0? because it sub dependency of testcafe

[MaxK4Code]

Delete the reporter from node_modules and install it on your own: npm i -D testcafe-reporter-xunit@2.1.0

and them testcafe will use his sub depanacy ? xunit reporter ?

and them testcafe will use his sub depanacy ? xunit reporter ?

yes, npm uses the packages in your node_modules folder, when you start testcafe from there. when you use a global installation of testcafe then you have to install the reporter as a global package too

Hey, Its looks like they fixed it on v2.1.0 and its works now, is it work for you as well? Can you share maybe share advice on how to prevent this problem, I had one day without automation tests because of it which is really important .. thank again !

Hey Yeah, it is fixed in version 2.2.1. Works as before. There is no advice to prevent those problems. If the npm-publisher pushes a nonworking library and you install this version you will get such problems.

Sh.. happens ;-)
