mocha-pretty-bunyan-ntan
description
bunyan is a pretty nice package to log in json format, and provides an awesome cli to display it in human readable way.
But, when you run your test with mocha, you cannot take benefit of the cli, so you then get raw json logs that is a mess to read.
mocha-pretty-bunyan-nyan provides a mocha reporter nyan (by default) that display bunyan with a pretty/human readble format.
Install
npm install mocha-pretty-bunyan-nyan --save-dev
Usage
mocha --reporter mocha-pretty-bunyan-nyan
