Reporter could not be loaded.

[karam94]

Using TeamCity with build agents on AWS.
However, despite installing both newman & newman-reporter-teamcity globally, the reporter still cannot be loaded.

I have a feeling that this is due to the reporter being installed by npm somewhere differently to newman.
npm list -g suggests it is installed globally regardless. Any ideas?

Steps taken:

npm install -g newman
npm install -g newman-reporter-teamcity

npm root -g:
C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules

where newman:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\newman

npm config get prefix:
C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\npm

npm list -g:

Same issue using newman-reporter-junitfull.

[shamasis]

@vikiCoder - we need to console.warn the error raised in the line

newman/lib/run/index.js

Line 347 in e26539a

catch (error) { } // eslint-disable-line no-empty

Otherwise, the error shown is currently not clear whether it is a Lodi g issue or an issue with the reporter itself.

[LayMuiToh]

I also encounter this issue newman: "htmlextra" reporter could not be loaded.
please install reporter using npm

[DannyDainton]

Hey @shamasis @vikiCoder @codenirvana

Following on from @shamasis' suggestion - Could we add something like this (The wording can be more helpful) to highlight where the issue might be:

              catch (error) { 
                   console.warn(`Error: ${error.code} - Is "${reporterName}" installed in the same directory as Newman?`);
               }

At the moment, each time someone has an install issue with any reporter, the first place to go looking for an answer is the specific reporter's project, rather than on here.

Or any other solution would be awesome :)

[musteray]

Hey @karam94

Fixed my issue by adding the reporter in node_modules

[coditva]

We added warnings so that one can differentiate whether the reporter was not found or was not loaded, in Newman version 4.5.5. @karam94 @LayMuiToh, could you upgrade and verify if the issue was in finding or loading?

[vdespa]

@coditva It seems that if the reporter is throwing a JavaScript error (in my case a SyntaxError), this confusing error is being displayed.

What would speak against directly logging the error that has occurred?

[coditva]

@vdespa If the reporter throws an error while we're require-ing it, we don't log it because in the context of Newman, it is same as not being able to get/find a reporter. We expect that any reporter should be able to export a function without any error as a bare minimum. Also, logging an error that occurred in some other module (which could be anything) doesn't really make sense IMO.

That being said, we do show a warning and log the error when we fail to "load" the reporter, because Newman failed to execute the function successfully, which could be a problem with Newman or the reporter.

@vdespa Hope that clears it up.

@everyone Closing this issue for now since I'm pretty confident that Newman can differentiate between finding and loading a reporter. Feel free to re-open if you feel otherwise.

[vdespa]

Also, logging an error that occurred in some other module (which could be anything) doesn't really make sense IMO.

I agree here.

Nevertheless, the confusing message is still displayed. Maybe check if there was an error while loading the reporter and just say that an error has occurred while trying to load reporter-xyz.

[lucky36999]

@coditva @vdespa Still I am getting the same/above issue with Newman reporter for TeamCity. Can you please help in resolving the issue.

[coditva]

@lucky36999 Can you check where is newman installed? For windows, if newman is installed at /somepath/newman, the reporter should be installed at /somepath/node_modules/newman-reporter-teamcity.

e.g. On windows, running where newman would tell you where newman is installed. And if you installed the reporter globally, running npm root -g would tell you where reporter would be installed. These two paths should match.

If they don't match, I would suggest you to run

npm i -g newman newman-reporter-teamcity newman-reporter-html
