serenity bdd junit test results

[tfarrar]

Our QA team has a remote webserive we use to collect test results. After running each test I would like to upload test results to the to this web server using the Issues annotation. What is my best way to implement this use Serenity bdd junit screenplay framework? I thought you might have some special hooks into the framework were I can easily get pass/fail results.

The easiest way would be to write a custom reporter class, which, rather than writing a report, uploads the test outcome to the server.

Thanks for the idea, that does sound like a better solution to upload the results after the tests are complete. I was looking for an example of how to create custom reporting in serenity. Do you have link handy with the info or GitHub location I and refer to.

Thanks

It's not hard (implementing an interface and adding some metadata to your source path), but I need to write it up properly.

I was able to implement a solution using your GitHub example. https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cli
using - CLIOutcomeReportGenerator class.

Now I am trying to figure out the best way to start the post test report generator. Currently I am using maven pom.xml to start my build with the goal "clean verify" Do you have an suggestions?

I am use this maven plugin to run post report generator... mvn exec:java

   <plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>java</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <configuration>
    <mainClass>com.classpath</mainClass>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

You can also register a reporter class to be executed at the same time at the other aggregate reports; unfotunately I haven’t written much about this feature as yet, but if you look at the ReportServices class (from memory) you should be able to see how it works.
