HTML source code of screenshot webpages are downloaded

[kenny-la]

In response to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/11750 I updated serenity bdd from 3.2.0 to 3.6.7.

However, I noticed that now the VM that I use for running the tests is running out of memory quickly, as the reports now include the HTML source code of the webpages that are being tested.
These are saved as "pagesource[some-number].html" and take up to 4mb each.
This should be defaulted to false, and still happens when setting the option below in the serenity.properties.

serenity.store.html.source=false

HTML source code is not generated by default, except for test failures.

What makes you think the page source is related to memory consumption?

[kenny-la]

Thank you for the speedy answer!

After updating serenity, the page source files were generated for each and every test regardless of test outcome.
Setting serenity.store.html.source=false wouldn't help, although that should be defaulted to false anyway if I read that correctly.

With 509 test cases this amounted to about 6gb of pagesource[0-9]*.html files which is too much to bear.

I had the same problem and it was fixed by serenity.store.html=NEVER and serenity.generate.csv.reports=false

[kenny-la]

Thanks, I tried it but unfortunately it's not working for me.

What is in your serenity.conf or serenity.properties file? HTML source is not generated by default in the most current versions of Serenity.

[kenny-la]

I have nothing except for the following inside the serenity.properties.
serenity.store.html.source=NEVER
serenity.generate.csv.reports=false

I also tried putting them inside the systemVariables of the maven surefire plugin

[wakaleo]

Have you tried with the latest version? Serenity hasn't generated these files by default for some time.

Also, you talk about running out of memory - do you mean disk space? Because generating files of any kind should not affect the memory, so if you are running out of memory, it's probably a different issue.

[kenny-la]

My mistake - I meant disk space.
I tried with the newest stable release 3.6.7, as well as 3.6.12 and 3.6.21 to no avail.
I am using it in combination with JUnit 4 if that makes any difference

[wakaleo]

Try:

serenity.store.html=NEVER

[kenny-la]

Thanks a million for the help!

It seems to have solved the issue. I will check again tomorrow if any issues have come up but it looks good so far.

[kenny-la]

I just realised my mistake of changing

serenity.store.html.source=false
to serenity.store.html.source=NEVER
rather than serenity.store.html=NEVER

although I have been given the correct answer yesterday already.
I need to have my glasses fixed.
