Bruno CLI provides built-in support for generating reports in three formats: JSON, JUnit, and HTML. These reports help with analyzing test results and integrating with various CI/CD tools. You can generate any combination of these reports and even run them simultaneously.

​
JSON Report

To generate a report in JSON format, use the --reporter-json option:
copy
bru run --reporter-json results.json
This will output the test results in a results.json file, which can be useful for further processing or programmatic analysis.

​
JUnit Report

To generate a report in JUnit format, use the --reporter-junit option:
copy
bru run --reporter-junit results.xml
The results.xml file will be in a format compatible with JUnit, making it ideal for integration with CI/CD pipelines that rely on JUnit reporting.

​
HTML Report

To generate a human-readable HTML report, use the --reporter-html option:
copy
bru run --reporter-html results.html
This will create an results.html file that provides a visual representation of the test outcomes, ideal for quick reviews.

​
Running Multiple Reporters Simultaneously

You can generate multiple reports at once by specifying more than one reporter option. For example, to generate JSON, JUnit, and HTML reports simultaneously, run:
copy
bru run --reporter-json results.json --reporter-junit results.xml --reporter-html results.html
This command will create three files: results.json, results.xml, and results.html, allowing you to analyze the results in different formats as needed.
Secret Masking in Reports: When running CLI and generating reports, sensitive data like secrets can be automatically masked to prevent exposure. Learn more about Secret Masking.

​
Skipping Specific Headers in the Report

If you want to exclude certain headers from the report, use the --reporter-skip-headers option. You can list multiple headers to skip, separated by spaces. 
bru run --reporter-html results.html --reporter-skip-headers "Authorization" "X-Auth-Token"

​
Skip All Headers in the Report

To exclude all headers from the report, use the --reporter-skip-all-headers option. This will remove all headers from the output report, ensuring a cleaner result.
copy
bru run --reporter-html results.html --reporter-skip-all-headers

​
Skipping Request and Response Bodies in the Report

Reports can include large request and response payloads. Use these flags to omit bodies and keep report files smaller:
OptionDescription
--reporter-skip-request-bodyOmits request bodies from reports
--reporter-skip-response-bodyOmits response bodies from reports
--reporter-skip-bodyShorthand: omits both request and response bodies from reports
Behavior:
Flags usedResult
Both --reporter-skip-request-body and --reporter-skip-response-bodyOmits both request and response bodies
Neither (default)Reports include both request and response bodies
Examples:
copy
# Omit only request bodies
bru run --reporter-html results.html --reporter-skip-request-body

# Omit only response bodies
bru run --reporter-html results.html --reporter-skip-response-body

# Omit both (shorthand)
bru run --reporter-html results.html --reporter-skip-body
