TXT test report format fails: `assets/text.cfm` not found

[zainforbjs]

Describe the bug
When running either the application tests or the core tests with the txt output format, the test runner throws the following error:

Page [/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/assets/text.cfm]
[/Users/user/Desktop/wheels/vendor/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/assets/text.cfm]
not found

Other output formats such as html, json, and junit work correctly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the application tests or core tests.
2. Select txt as the output format.
3. Execute the tests.
4. Observe the “page not found” error.

Expected behavior
The test runner should generate and display a plain text report when format=txt is selected.

Wheels Bot — Triage

Classified as bug.

Suspected layer

test — see .ai/wheels/testing/ for canonical patterns. The defect lives in the vendored TestBox reporter infrastructure under vendor/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/.

Fix sketch

vendor/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/TextReporter.cfc line 42 does include "assets/text.cfm", but the assets/ directory does not exist under vendor/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/ (only the sibling reporter CFCs are present — the upstream TestBox template was not vendored alongside the CFC). vendor/wheels/tests/runner.cfm:248-252 routes format=txt to this reporter, which is why html/json/junit are unaffected (those reporters render inline / via XML and don't depend on a missing asset). Fix shape: restore the missing vendor/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/assets/text.cfm template from upstream TestBox, or refactor TextReporter.cfc to render its output inline (mirroring what vendor/wheels/public/tests/txt.cfm already does for the HTML test runner view).

Confidence: medium

The defective file and missing include path are identified directly from the stack trace, but the fix has a design choice between porting the upstream asset and refactoring the reporter to inline its template — propose-fix should pick one.

Draft PR: #2676

Spec: vendor/wheels/tests/specs/wheelstest/TextReporterSpec.cfc — failing → passing
Implementation: vendor/wheels/wheelstest/system/reports/TextReporter.cfc (inline plain-text rendering instead of including the missing assets/text.cfm template)
