JSON report not generating for failed scenarios using protractor - json

Question

If my scenarios got failed the JSON report not generating. But for passes scenarios I can able to see the JSON report.
Please find my config file as below.
In comment prompt console I can able to see the failure message:
W/launcher - Ignoring uncaught error AssertionError: expected false to equal true
E/launcher - BUG: launcher exited with 1 tasks remaining

You can save the report by using a hook, so don't generate the file form the protractor.conf.js file, but use a cucumber-hook for it.
The hook can look like this
reportHook.js:
const cucumber = require('cucumber');
const jsonFormatter = cucumber.Listener.JsonFormatter();
const fs = require('fs-extra');
const jsonFile = require('jsonfile');
const path = require('path');
const projectRoot = process.cwd();
module.exports = function reportHook() {
this.registerListener(jsonFormatter);
/**
* Generate and save the report json files
*/
jsonFormatter.log = function(report) {
const jsonReport = JSON.parse(report);
// Generate a featurename without spaces, we're gonna use it later
const featureName = jsonReport[0].name.replace(/\s+/g, '_').replace(/\W/g, '').toLowerCase();
// Here I defined a base path to which the jsons are written to
const snapshotPath = path.join(projectRoot, '.tmp/json-output');
// Think about a name for the json file. I now added a featurename (each feature
// will output a file) and a timestamp (if you use multiple browsers each browser
// execute each feature file and generate a report)
const filePath = path.join(snapshotPath, `report.${featureName}.${new Date}.json`);
// Create the path if it doesn't exists
fs.ensureDirSync(snapshotPath);
// Save the json file
jsonFile.writeFileSync(filePath, jsonReport, {
spaces: 2
});
};
}
You can save this code to the file reportHook.js and then add it to the cucumberOpts:.require so it will look like this in your code
cucumberOpts: {
require: [
'../step_definitions/*.json',
'../setup/hooks.js',
'../setup/reportHook.js'
],
....
}
Even with failed steps / scenario's it should generate the report file.
Hope it helps
