Customize the protractor test report/output

Question

Hi I'm trying to get the protractor test results in a file by giving the following command in command prompt. protractor conf.js > location\result.txt where I could see the complete output of the protractor test.

Can I get just the number of Specs executed and failures in a txt file after running the protractor tests in a customized way?

I need my report in this customized way as I need to run a shell script if all the protractor tests are passed.

We have two ways to fulfill your requirement. but it will give final results in .json format. If you really needed only .txt format you convert .json to .text

Ways To Do:

1. Declare parameter 'resultJsonOutputFile:' value in conf.js file as follows-

   resultJsonOutputFile:'./testResults.json', //output file path to store the final results in .json format

OR

2. Pass the output file path from command line while running the protractor:

   Command:

     protractor --resultJsonOutputFile='../outputFilePath.json' protractor.conf.js
