How to create Protractor reports with Jasmine2

Question

I have very recently started to use Protractor lib to test angularjs site.I tried to use below 2 libs to create HTML reports but in both cases I got the error

https://www.npmjs.com/package/protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter and https://www.npmjs.com/package/protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter.

Platform:- Windows 7

Installation cmd:- npm install -g protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter

Error: Cannot find module 'protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter'

Config.js

var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter');

var today = new Date(),
    timeStamp = today.getMonth() + 1 + '-' + today.getDate() + '-' + today.getFullYear() + '-' + today.getHours() + 'h-' + today.getMinutes() + 'm';

var reporter=new Jasmine2HtmlReporter({
    consolidateAll: true,
        savePath: 'target/screenshots',
        takeScreenshotsOnlyOnFailures: true,
         filePrefix: 'index -'+today
});

// An example configuration file.
exports.config = {
  directConnect: true,

  // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  // Framework to use. Jasmine 2 is recommended.
  framework: 'jasmine2',

  // Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
  // protractor is called.
  specs: ['../Test/SmokeTest.js'],



  // Options to be passed to Jasmine.
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors:true,
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 400000,
    isVerbose: true,
    includeStackTrace: true
  },

   onPrepare: function() {
        jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
    }
};

Please let me know if I am missing anything. Thanks in advance.

You should be adding the complete path to the protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter when you require it. Try putting in the complete path and then run the test scripts. Here's a sample of it -

var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter'); //sample for MAC

var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('c:/node_modules/protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter'); //sample for windows

Update the path as per your installed folders in your machine. If you don't know where did your node_modules got installed, run the below command to get it -

npm link protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter

Hope it helps.
