Custom Specflow Report

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to generate a custom SpecFlow report in LambdaTest HyperExecute. By following the specified changes in the YAML file and modifying the test script, users can receive detailed test reports via email.

Prerequisites

A valid LambdaTest account.
A configured HyperExecute environment.
A SpecFlow-based test suite.

Configuration Changes

To enable custom SpecFlow reporting, make the following changes to your YAML configuration file and test script.

Step 1: Modify the YAML Configuration File

Add the following settings in your YAML file to enable reporting and configure partial reports:

report: true
partialReports:
  location: YOUR_REPORTS_LOCATION
  type: xml
  frameworkName: specflow-custom
  email:
    to: [YOUR_EMAIL_ID]
    metaInfo: [ "project-name:YOUR_CUSTOM_PROJECT_NAME", "project-env: YOUR_CUSTOM_PROJECT_ENV" ]

Explanation:

report: true → Enables the reporting feature.
partialReports.location → Specifies the directory where the partial reports will be stored.
partialReports.type: xml → Configures the report format as XML.
partialReports.frameworkName: specflow-custom → Sets the framework name.
email.to → Defines the recipient email address where the reports will be sent.
email.metaInfo → Adds metadata, including project name and environment details, to the report.

Step 2: Modify the Test Script

Add the following capability in your test script to ensure the correct execution status is recorded:

((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript($"lambda-info=suitename:YOUR_SUITE_NAME:passed");

Explanation:

This script sends test execution information (suite name and status) to LambdaTest.
Replace YOUR_SUITE_NAME with the appropriate suite name.
The passed status can be dynamically changed based on the test result.
