Hi Victor, As far as I know, it's already possible to generate your own formatting with ExUnit.Formatter. You basically tell ExUnit which module should receive events and that module can handle the output/format reporting failure etc.
Some docs/examples: - https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/master/ExUnit.Formatter.html#content - example (I'm not affiliated/familiar): https://github.com/victorolinasc/junit-formatter So I think it's not necessary to add a new feature. Hope it helps, Tonći On Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 3:07:22 AM UTC+2, Victor Oliveira Nascimento wrote: > > Hi all! > > I'd like to ask if a line limit to ex_unit cli_formatter would be welcomed > in core.
