Serenity Report Reason for all failures

[VeroBalta]

What's the Problem You're Trying to Solve?

Currently from serenity report we only read number of Passed and Failed test cases, without considering a reasons for other failures. currently using serenity 3.7.1 Serenity report shows status for failed Steps and Test cases. Need to know the reason of all failed why is broken, or skipped.... do we need to add proper error message? Looking to improve more our serenity report e.g.

1. Test Step: Skipped, Ignored, Pending, Incomplete,Failed

2. Test cases : Skipped, Ignored, Broken, Compromised, Aborted, Error, Undefined

I find this but is not enough explanation: https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/reporting/the_serenity_reports

Proposed Solution

you can throw specific exceptions, this doc is a bit older but it probably still works like this

You can write your own custom report or propose a PR to enhance the existing reports by adapting the Freemarker templates in the serenity-resources module. Alternatively, if this is valuable for your work or your organisation, you can always request a commercial support package so we can do it for you.
