I am looking at karma's reporter configuration.

There are some possible reporters: progress, dots, growl, coverage. I don't find any detailed information explaining each of the options.

I tried progress and dots, they all print log to console, the result looks the same. What are the differences between them?

Growl, coverage need a little more configuration, so I didn't succeed testing them.

  • Progress will show the number of tests executed, skipped and total.

  • dots will print a dot for each test executed

  • growl will use the growl tool to report the progress of the testing. Note: you need to install the plugin to use this guy.

  • coverage works together with the coverage pre-processor to generate an HTML Coverage report of your Javascript files. Note: you need to install the plugin to use this guy.
