Connect cli with reporter-earl? #221

Open dmundra opened 3 years ago

dmundra commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way for the axe CLI tool to generate an EARL formatted JSON report? If there is a recommendation on combining the two packages that would be great.

Thank you Daniel

I'm having similar issues trying to combine @axe-core/puppeteer and the EARL reporter as mentioned in https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core-npm/issues/88#issuecomment-811232521. Would also be grateful for an example that shows how to integrate the EARL reporter.

Did you find a solution on how to make the CLI use the reporter-earl package?

Not yet. @mgifford any luck?

I remember that there was an error in the version of axe that I was using, but think that was fixed by an update that @WilcoFiers did.

I wasn't able to get it in an EARL format.

It is also possible that EARL isn't as useful a format. Microsoft has taken the approach of building their own formatting, as has Deque.

Also worth pointing to https://github.com/microsoft/accessibility-insights-web/issues/4398

@mgifford I would think so. If you have a situation like in ACT, where you have to compare results from different testers, it's really the only choice. But it's a very difficult format to understand and work with in my opinion. To get developers to use it in ACT, we had to dumb it down into copy-past'able examples code snippets, and still I hear from tool vendors that EARL is one of the biggest obstacles to contribute to ACT.
