Optionally print response body/text on failure

If I get a wrong status code back from a controller, it’d be nice if supertest had an optional ‘print response body on failure’ mode so I can see the content of the message associated with that wrong status code. Currently you have to go in and manually add additional debugging into like: .expect(200, function() { console.log(arguments); done(); }) every time a test starts failing.

Another option might be to be smarter about generating the Error response in supertest, e.g. parsing the res.body and (optionally) jamming that into the error message. It could even somehow do some specialcase handling of the default connect error handler to populate the stack trace (if that’s even possible).

If anyone stumbles upon this and wonders how to log at all. Appending this to your test case logs if an error occurs and rethrows the error via done.

        .end((err, res) => {
          if (err) {
            console.error(res.error);
          }
          done(err);
        });

meh. just console.log.
