Link to Standard Out from Spock Reports

[jshickey]

It would be really helpful if there could be an option to display the standard out for tests. When doing Agile end-of-iteration demos, it would be great to walk through the Spock Report and then inspect the standard out which could show that data was saved to a database, json returned from a service call, etc....

While I understand your request, I think this problem can already be solved with external tools.

For example, the built-in Gradle reports already include stdout output (but not the Specification's block descriptions, of course). If you have a CI, it will most likely also make the test output available easily.

In any case, because stdout is already being read from other tools, I am not sure this would even be possible. If you think this should be easy to do, feel free to submit a PR so we can discuss this in more detail.

If anyone wants to contribute this:

My suggestion would be to try to use the already-generated JUnit reports (or even Gradle reports) which capture the standard output, and just add a little link to those reports from the spock-report.

Including any JS in the html reports just to show that output would be unacceptable. I really think that we should separate this information from standard reports, and that the reports should be "printable" in a sense that I don't want reports to require you to see them online as if it were a website.
