How to Make Your Own Output Handler

You can make your own Output Handler, following the next two steps:

• Inheriting from rotest.core.result.handlers.abstract_handler.AbstractResultHandler, and overriding the relevant methods.

• Register the above inheriting class as an entrypoint in your setup.py file inside setup():

  entry_points={
      "rotest.result_handlers":
          ["<handler tag, e.g. my_handler> = <import path to the monitor's module>:<monitor class name>"]
  },

• Make sure it's being installed in the environment by calling

  python setup.py develop

For an example, you can refer to rotest_reportportal plugin.
