Serenity/js Cucumber Protractor : Tabs Capabilities & Features not visible in HTML reporting

Question

I followed serenity-js guidelines but I don't see Capabilities and Feature tabs in HTML report. Only tests and acceptance criteria are visibles.

json output (maybe an issue with the path ???) :

{
    "id":"test-num-1;test-dosomething",
    "title":"Test something",
    "name":"Test something",
    "context":"chrome",
    "description":"",
    "startTime":1500459935525,
    "duration":5360,
    "testSource":"cucumber",
    "manual":false,
    "result":"SUCCESS",
    "userStory":{
        "id":"test-num-1",
        "path":"test\\e2e\\features\\capability_1\\myFeature1.feature",
        "storyName":"Test number 1",
        "type":"feature"
    },
    "tags":[
        {"name":"chrome","type":"browser"},
        {"name":"Test num 1","type":"feature"}
    ],
    "issues":[],
    "testSteps":[
        (...)
    ],
    "annotatedResult":"SUCCESS"
}

Is there any issue with path "test\e2e\" that prefix "features" path ?

Thanks

The process of producing the Serenity BDD HTML reports consists of two phases:

1. As your test scenarios are executed, Serenity/JS generates .json and .png files under the outputDirectory
2. After your tests finish, Serenity/JS CLI (a node.js wrapper around the Serenity BDD CLI jar) processes the above files, as well as the Cucumber feature files, to produce the HTML reports

This means that in order to make both Serenity/JS and Serenity/JS CLI use a non-default directory you'd need to:

• configure the outputDirectory of Serenity/JS
• specify the source (location of .json reports and screenshots) and destination (target location for the HTML report) parameters to be the same as the outputDirectory for Serenity/JS, and also the features property (location of Cucumber feature files) when invoking Serenity/JS CLI

Hope this helps!
