Output Path

By defult the path is set to the execution folder and will kick out a file called report.html

// execution folder
~\workspace> mocha -R good-mocha-html-reporter ./test

// output
~\workspace\report.html

Alternatively you can use command line arguments:

-p    or    --report-path
-m    or    --report-mode

~/workspace> mocha -R good-mocha-html-reporter -p reports/myTestReport.html -m Compact ./test

// output
~\workspace\reports\myTestReport.html

Your final option is in the mocha.opts config file / options object

{
    reporter: 'good-mocha-html-reporter', //good-mocha-html-reporter, spec, nyan
    timeout: 15000,
    bail: false,
    savePath: '', // the path to desired location
    filename: 'report.html', // filename gets attached at the end of savePath
    mode: 'Verbose'
}

Additional Logging

I have claimed the variable name log from mochas context object. The log element is of type string and is displayed after the its test passes.

  describe('Login', function(){
    it('type email address', function(){
        this.log = 'Something a user has logged.\n\nI am currently in the process of fixing indentation'
    })
  })
