html-report

Features

• A comprehensive test results report template prepared in a html format providing the overall summary with drill down of the test cases executed and effort spent during the testing for each stage and feature.
• It provides the details for the defects found during the run.
• It indicates the tests by color code - failed(red), passed(green) and skipped(grey).
• The failure can be analyzed with the stacktrace and screenshot(captures unless overwritten not to).
• The skipped tests can be analyzed with the given reason.
• Custom Messages allows users to add messages at runtime.

Sample HTML Report documemt

Installation

gauge install html-report

• Installing specific version

gauge install html-report --version 2.1.0

Offline installation

• Download the plugin from Releases

gauge install html-report --file html-report-2.1.0-linux.x86_64.zip

Build from Source

Requirements

• Golang

Compiling

Download dependencies

go get -t ./...

Compilation

go run build/make.go

For cross-platform compilation

go run build/make.go --all-platforms

Installing

After compilation

go run build/make.go --install

Installing to a CUSTOM_LOCATION

go run build/make.go --install --plugin-prefix CUSTOM_LOCATION

Creating distributable

Note: Run after compiling

go run build/make.go --distro

For distributable across platforms: Windows and Linux for both x86 and x86_64

go run build/make.go --distro --all-platforms

New distribution details need to be updated in the html-report-install.json file in the gauge plugin repository for a new version update.

Configuration

The HTML report plugin can be configured by the properties set in the env/default.properties file in the project.

The configurable properties are:

gauge_reports_dir

• Specifies the path to the directory where the execution reports will be generated.

• Should be either relative to the project directory or an absolute path. By default it is set to reports directory in the project

overwrite_reports

• Set to true if the reports must be overwritten on each execution maintaining only the latest execution report.

• If set to false then a new report will be generated on each execution in the reports directory in a nested time-stamped directory. By default it is set to true.

GAUGE_HTML_REPORT_THEME_PATH

• Specifies the path to the custom theme directory.

• Should be either relative to the project directory or an absolute path. By default, default theme shipped with gauge is used.

gauge_minify_reports

• Set to true if the generated HTML files needs to be minified. This helps avoid creating huge reports if the project suite is huge.

Report re-generation

If report generation fails due to some reason, we don't have to re-run the tests again.

Gauge now generates a last_run_result file in the .gauge folder under the Project Root. There is also a symlink to the html-report executable available in <gauge_reports_dir>/html-report.

To regenerate the report

• Navigate to the reports directory
• move the html-report file to .gauge directory
• Navigate to the .gauge directory
• run ./html-report --input=last_run_result --output="/some/path"

Note: The output directory is created. Take care not to overwrite an existing directory. The html-report executable and last_run_result will be generated only if the property save_execution_result is set to true. While regenerating a report, the default theme is used. A custom can be used if --theme flag is specified with the path to the custom theme.
