Probably the most important aspect to using Catch with a build server is the use of different reporters. Catch comes bundled with three reporters that should cover the majority of build servers out there - although adding more for better integration with some is always a possibility (as has been done with TeamCity).

Two of these reporters are built in (XML and JUnit) and the third (TeamCity) is included as a separate header. It's possible that the other two may be split out in the future too - as that would make the core of Catch smaller for those that don't need them.

The disadvantage is that this schema was designed to correspond to how JUnit works - and there is a significant mismatch with how Catch works. Additionally the format is not streamable (because opening elements hold counts of failed and passing tests as attributes) - so the whole test run must complete before it can be written.

## TeamCity Reporter
|
## Other reporters
|
||||||
```-r teamcity```
|
Other reporters are not part of the single-header distribution and need to be downloaded and included separately. All reporters are stored in `include/reporters` directory in the git repository, and are named `catch_reporter_*.hpp`. For example, to use the TeamCity reporter you need to download `include/reporters/catch_reporter_teamcity.hpp` and include it after Catch itself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The TeamCity Reporter writes TeamCity service messages to stdout. In order to be able to use this reporter an additional header must also be included.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```catch_reporter_teamcity.hpp``` can be found in the ```include\reporters``` directory. It should be included in the same file that ```#define```s ```CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN``` or ```CATCH_CONFIG_RUNNER```. The ```#include``` should be placed after ```#include```ing Catch itself.
|
|
||||||

|

e.g.:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
```
|

#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN

### TeamCity Reporter
|
||||||
|
```-r teamcity```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The TeamCity Reporter writes TeamCity service messages to stdout. In order to be able to use this reporter an additional header must also be included.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Being specific to TeamCity this is the best reporter to use with it - but it is completely unsuitable for any other purpose. It is a streaming format (it writes as it goes) - although test results don't appear in the TeamCity interface until the completion of a suite (usually the whole test run).

## Automake Reporter
|
### Automake Reporter
|
||||||
```-r automake```
|
```-r automake```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Automake Reporter writes out the [meta tags](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Log-files-generation-and-test-results-recording.html#Log-files-generation-and-test-results-recording) expected by automake via `make check`.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### TAP (Test Anything Protocol) Reporter
|
||||||
|
```-r tap```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Because of the incremental nature of Catch's test suites and ability to run specific tests, our implementation of TAP reporter writes out the number of tests in a suite last.
