Hi Shazron, Thank you for your feedback! It actually doesn’t work on iOS because it seems like the most recent whitelist changes broke things. I ran "npm test" for the code in master and some of them fail because of whitelisting. That’s just my intuition though: I don’t know exactly why it’s not working yet.
Regarding reporting though, reporting to localhost is actually just the default - you can pass a host and port on the CLI and it will report to a CouchDB server like mobilespec did. There is an immediate next step in my development efforts to make it not tied to CouchDB, or to at least allow the user to specify the URI format for reporting. Also, thanks for pointing out the ‘npm install’ requirement. I added it to the docs. The reporting to console also happens, but it’s currently just limited to console.log. Medivac uses all the standard Jasmine reporters (HTML, console, and JSAPI). And indeed, I will definitely drop a line to Jesse. Is it well-received in the Apache community to schedule meetings to discuss details, or should detailed discussions also be happening on the mailing list?
