Test Report Vibes, a deterministic Cucumber report summary tool

Yesterday, on the train back from SeleniumConf, I opened my laptop and started vibe-coding a small idea inspired by several talks and hallway discussions: make failure triage from Cucumber runs faster, cleaner, and deterministic.

That is how Test Report Vibes was born:

• Repo: github.com/srbarrios/test-report-vibes
• Focus: deterministic HTML summaries of Cucumber test reports
• Goal: quickly review what failed and why, without noisy report clutter

Why I built it

A recurring theme at SeleniumConf was practical feedback loops: when tests fail, teams need quick and reliable context to decide what to fix first.

Most large reports are too broad when what you need is this:

• failing, undefined, and pending steps first
• scenario context preserved
• recurring error patterns highlighted
• plain, deterministic summary with no external AI dependency

So I built exactly that.

What Test Report Vibes does

test-report-vibes transforms Cucumber JSON into a focused, self-contained HTML report.

It includes:

• filtered output for failed/undefined/pending steps
• pass/fail/skipped stats across the full run
• grouped issues by feature
• deterministic executive summary cards
• optional tag-based classification (@new_issue, @flaky, etc.)
• screenshot rendering from supported embeddings/hooks

Quick usage

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/srbarrios/test-report-vibes.git
cd test-report-vibes
pip install -e .

A train-to-code moment

I love these moments where conference energy turns into a working tool in just a few hours. SeleniumConf gave me the spark; the train ride gave me uninterrupted focus.

If you work with Cucumber and want tighter failure triage, give it a try and tell me what you think.
