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.

Step 3: Report Generation and Email Notification

Once the tests are executed, the custom SpecFlow report will be generated and sent to the configured email address. The report will include:

  • Tag-based test summaries and details.
  • Suite-based test summaries and details.
  • Number of tests passed, failed, skipped, or with other statuses.
  • Meta information such as project name and environment.
