How to display the data in "os" column and "browser" column

[dharnapahuja]

I am generating a report for my tests and I notice that the browser name appears correctly, but no version number appears next to it. Also, the os column shows "ANY", whereas I specify the platform as macOS X.

I want to be able to display this data for safari, chrome, edge and Firefox. How can I do that?

@dharnapahuja
The platform is detected by the webdrivers regardless of what you provide under capabilities.
Does you selenium server run on windows or server and/or locally?

Here is a example how the platform is "detected"

const capabilities = await browser.getCapabilities();
let  os:  capabilities.get("platform") || capabilities.get("platformName") 

As you can see if the webdrivers return wrong values than there is nothing I can do about it...

About the browsers version there something I can do because it seems that sometimes the value is capabilities.get("version") and sometime capabilities.get("browserVersion")

I just noticed webdrivers differ in how they report the plaform e.g. firefox (geckodriver) reports "windows" and chrome reports "windows nt".

I run protractor locally but the tests run on sauce labs. If you could fix the browser for now, that would be great.

Also, is there no way logs can be supported on all other browsers as well? I know that logs are only working on Chrome as of now

@dharnapahuja I put up an own issue for browerslogs...maybe I find out how this can be done with firefox in the future.
I also requested a free account on sauce labs yesterday...so I can test with more browsers

@dharnapahuja The issue with browser version is now fixed in version 1.3.3

@dharnapahuja I does not look good for having logs from firefox. The basic discussions are not finished in geckodriver repo: mozilla/geckodriver#284

Browser version and OS is fixed (as far as its possible from reporters perspective)
