End time on tests not being set correctly - total time taken incorrect

[TinyCamera]

I am seeing this issue on 3.0.0 and 3.0.3.

I am parsing an XML test report and generating an Extent Report. I parse the start and end time of each test use them to set the start and end time of each Extent Report explicitly.

In the Extent report, the start time is displayed correctly but the end time is being set to the time the report is generated(not the end time explicitly set). This gives each test a massively inflated incorrect execution time.

I can gaurentee the start and end time are in the same format and being parsed correctly.

Heres the code for generating the report.

import java.util.List;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentReports;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentTest;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.Status;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentHtmlReporter;


public class ExtentReoprtGenerator {
	String outputFile; 
	XmlReport report;
	ExtentReports extentReport;

	public ExtentReoprtGenerator(String _outputFile, XmlReport _report){

		outputFile = _outputFile;
		report = _report;

		ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(outputFile);
		extentReport = new ExtentReports();
		extentReport.attachReporter(htmlReporter);
	}

	public void generate(){
		System.out.println(String.format("Generating Extent report %s", outputFile));
		addTests();
		extentReport.flush();
	}

	private void addTests(){
		for(XmlTest test: report.getTests()){
			ExtentTest extentTest = extentReport.createTest(test.getTestName());

			addSteps(extentTest, test.getTestSteps());
			
			if(test.getStartTime()!=null){
				extentTest.getModel().setStartTime(test.getStartTime());
				extentTest.getModel().setEndTime(test.getEndTime());
			}else{
				extentTest.getModel().setStartTime(report.getRunDate());
				extentTest.getModel().setEndTime(report.getRunDate());
			}
		}
	}

	private void addSteps(ExtentTest test, List<Step> steps){
		if (steps.isEmpty()){
			test.log(Status.SKIP, "Not tests steps run");
		}
		for(Step step: steps){
			switch (step.getLogStatus()) {
			case FAIL:
				test.fail(step.getName() +"<br>"+ step.getMessage());
				break;
			case PASS:
				test.pass(step.getName() +"<br>"+ step.getMessage());
				break;

			default:
				break;
			}
		}
	}
}

This should fix it:

extentReport.setReportUsesManualConfiguration(true);

Example: http://extentreports.com/docs/versions/3/java/#testng-ireporter

Thanks for the reply anshooaroa. I actually fixed part of the problem by setting the timestep of each step explicitly.

test.getModel().getLogContext().get(stepNum++).setTimestamp(step.getEndTime());

After that, the times displayed for tests were accurate. However, the report is still showing incorrect end time and because of this, a massive incorrect duration.

This is the case with and without setReportUsesManualConfiguration(true);

[anshooarora]

Can you use this example and try once:

http://extentreports.com/docs/versions/3/java/#testng-ireporter

Hey again anshooarora, thanks for reopening.

I am seeing the same issue present with testng-ireporter.

Here is a very simple example that you can run that should expose the issue I am seeing.

public class ExtentBroke {
	String outputFile; 
	XmlReport report;
	ExtentReports extentReport;
	static Date startDate;
	static Date endDate;
	public static void main(String args[]){

		Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
		cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, -6);   
		startDate = cal.getTime();
		cal.add(Calendar.HOUR,1);
		endDate = cal.getTime();
		
		ExtentBroke broke = new ExtentBroke("tosca.html");
		broke.generate();
	}

	public ExtentBroke(String _outputFile){

		outputFile = _outputFile;

		ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(outputFile);
		htmlReporter.config().setDocumentTitle("ExtentReports - Created by TestNG Listener");
		htmlReporter.config().setReportName("ExtentReports - Created by TestNG Listener");
		htmlReporter.config().setTheme(Theme.STANDARD);
		extentReport = new ExtentReports();
		extentReport.attachReporter(htmlReporter);
		extentReport.setReportUsesManualConfiguration(true);
	}

	public void generate(){
		System.out.println(String.format("Generating Extent report %s", outputFile));
		addTests();
		extentReport.flush();
	}

	private void addTests(){
		ExtentTest extentTest = extentReport.createTest("Test from 6 months ago");

		extentTest.getModel().setStartTime(startDate);
		extentTest.getModel().setEndTime(endDate);


	}

}

This adds a single test to the report with a timestamp from 6 months ago. The total execution time is 6 months as the start date of the report is the start date of the first tests and the end date is time the report is run. Please let me know if you can recreate the issue.

Thanks for the great sample and the creative class name.

I have fixed this - will be part of the next release.

Hi anshoo,

I am using the extent report version 3 for reports.

But my report does not display the time properly.

Sep 22, 2017 11:16:28 AM Sep 22, 2017 11:16:28 AM 0h 0m 0s+0ms .

please help me.

[anshooarora]

Are you using 3.0.7?

[sumeet-srknec]

Hi Anshoo,

Is this issue mentioned by @TinyCamera fixed? Adding a part of comment here for context.
"However, the report is still showing incorrect end time and because of this, a massive incorrect duration."

I am using extentreports-3.0.7 build and noticing incorrect end-time for the report.

Thanks,
Sumeet

Hi Anshoo,

I am using 3.0.6 version of extent report

[AnushaGovindan]

Hi Anshoo,

I'm facing the same issue (incorrect end time and duration) with 3.0.7v. Could you please advise ?

Thanks.
