Not able to create a dynamic reporting path(which will include browser name ,Date time etc) for multi-capabilities

[Tehaseen]

Observation:
In the onPrepare() function when we define path for report in the baseDirectory , i am not able get the value of browser name . Refer the below code

onPrepare: function() {
browser.getCapabilities().then(function(caps){
console.log('THe browser name '+ browser.browserName);
browser.browserName= caps.get('browserName');
});
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new HtmlReporter({
baseDirectory: '../../../../../../Test/'+browser.browserName,
pathBuilder: function pathBuilder(spec, descriptions, results) {
// Return '/' as path for screenshots:
// Example: 'firefox/list-should work'.
return path.join( descriptions) ;},
screenshotsSubfolder: 'ScreenShots',
jsonsSubfolder: 'Jsons',
docTitle: 'Report',
docName: 'Report.html',
preserveDirectory: false
}).getJasmine2Reporter());
}

We require to create a dynamic path because multicapabilities launches on different browser . So different browser will require different path .

In the above code ,
"browser.browserName" in console log is returning a promise .
"browser.browserName" in the baseDirectory is returning a string "undefined".

tried using path builder property , but this property builds path only for screen shot .

Expected Result :
Generate a dynamic reporting path based on browser name
So that when we use this plugin for multi-capabilities , different browser will have different report

Thanks in Advance :)

Maybe you can find a solution here: angular/protractor#1938
scroll to the bottom there...

browser.browserName = caps.get('browserName'); returns a promise so in order to use this information You need to unwrap it...

browser.browserName = caps.get('browserName');

browser.browserName.then((name) => {
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new HtmlReporter({
    baseDirectory: '../../../../../../Test/'+name,
    ...
    }).getJasmine2Reporter());
})

Hi Evilweed,
Thanks for the reply , but when i try to unwrap promise i am getting the below error.
"TypeError: browser.browserName.then is not a function"

Please find the below onPrepare function

_onPrepare: function() {
browser.getCapabilities().then(function(caps){
console.log('THe browser name '+ browser.browserName);
browser.browserName= caps.get('browserName');

    browser.browserName.then(function(name) {
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new HtmlReporter({
    baseDirectory: '../../../../../../Test/'+name,
    pathBuilder: function pathBuilder(spec, descriptions, results) {
    // Return '/' as path for screenshots:
    // Example: 'firefox/list-should work'.
    return path.join( descriptions) ;},
    screenshotsSubfolder: 'ScreenShots',
    jsonsSubfolder: 'Jsons',
    docTitle: 'Report',
    docName: 'Report.html',
    preserveDirectory: false
    }).getJasmine2Reporter());
  });
});
    }_

Expected Result: Generate a dynamic reporting path based on browser name
So that when we use this plugin for multi-capabilities , different browser will have different report

Many Thanks in Advance
