Creating and Filtering Reports Using the axe DevTools CLI
The reporter command can generate and filter a variety of report types from axe's JSON results.
DevTools Reporter
When you use axe DevTools APIs to generate JSON results, you can use the axe reporter command to convert and filter those JSON results to HTML, CSV, and JUnit XML reports.
If you are using axe DevTools CLI to generate JSON results when testing pages and workflows, you can use the --format flag directly. See CLI Page Tests for more information on testing pages with the CLI.
The following example will find all axe JSON results in ./axe-reports/json/ and create a CSV report, which will be saved in ./axe-reports/csv/
axe reporter ./axe-reports/json/ ./axe-reports/csv/ --format=csv-d --dest [path]
Specify the desired output path. This option is not required, and if you do not specify it, axe reporter uses the second directory specified as the destination directory (as shown in the example above).
-f --format [type(s)]
Format(s) for output: html, junit (xml), CSV (csv). Optionally multiple formats can also be specified as comma separated values.
Example
axe reporter ./axe-reports/json/ ./axe-reports/csv/ --format=csv,html,xml--filter [type(s)]
Provide a list of result types to filter from results: passes, violations, incomplete, or inapplicable.
The --format csv option is required if you want to use the filter option.
Example
axe reporter ./axe-reports/json/ --format=csv --filter passes,inapplicable-b --browser [name]
Specify which browser's results should be used to generate the output.
