How can I make Elixir mix test output more verbose?

问题

In my Elixir/Phoenix app, when I run

mix test

I get output like:

$ mix test
....

Finished in 0.09 seconds
4 tests, 0 failures

with dots for each test that succeeded.

How do I output the names of the tests that succeed instead?

In Rails with rspec I used to do this with a .rspec file in the directory that looked like:

$ cat .rspec
--color
-fd
--tty

Is there an equivalent in Elixir?

To print the names of the passing tests, you can pass --trace argument to mix test. For example, here's the output of mix test --trace on the current master branch of httpoison package:

$ mix test --trace

You can also set this option to true by default by changing the ExUnit.start line in test_helper.exs:

ExUnit.start(trace: true)

If you want completely custom output, you can implement your own formatter (see https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/master/lib/ex_unit/lib/ex_unit/cli_formatter.ex for an example; that's the default formatter) and configure ExUnit to use it:

ExUnit.start(formatters: [YourFormatterModule])

--trace is the option you're looking for: https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Test.html

Hope that helps!
