#includeTaskLocation

• Type: boolean
• Default: false
• CLI: --includeTaskLocation

Whether to include the location information of tests when collecting test information.

When enabled, this configuration adds line and column number information to test cases and suites. This is useful for debugging and when reporters need to collect test information.

Note that enabling this configuration may slightly decrease test execution performance.

npx rstest --includeTaskLocation

import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  includeTaskLocation: true,
});

#Using with the list command

The includeTaskLocation option is particularly useful when used with the list command, especially when you want to see the exact location of tests:

npx rstest list --printLocation

This will automatically enable includeTaskLocation and display the location information for each test case.

#Example output

With includeTaskLocation enabled, reporters and the list command will include location information:

{
  "testId": "test-1",
  "name": "should calculate correct sum",
  "testPath": "/path/to/test.spec.ts",
  "location": {
    "line": 15,
    "column": 3
  }
}
