Thanks, you've made it a lot clearer for me, and I think I'm getting close. I've created a custom reporter that extends ReporterSupport, with its own writeReport method that does its own thing and calls notifyListeners. I created a constructor where I can pass the existing reporter, so in my setupSpec I have something like this:
browser.config.reporter = new MyReporter(browser.config.reporter) I can even call methods, like when I've downloaded the file I want to test, I can call browser.config.reporter.setDownloadedFile(file) and the log statements say it's executing. But when I test it by introducing a purposeful failure, it still calls the ordinary ScreenshotReporter and skips my code entirely, and once again I get a png of the download page. So, what am I missing, why might my reporter not be activating?
