How to dynamically add meta data to report?

[Shiv]

Hi , 

Example BDD steps:

I have use case, where I want to add new meta data to the test case dynamically at runtime(programmatically) so that it reflects the QAF report. How can i achieve this ?

Example- I have below BDD Gherkins syntax. I want to add new metadata say "referenceUrl":"test.com" at run time. So that it reflects in the report that is generate at completion. 

SCENARIO: Example
META-DATA: {"testcaseid":"tc1","description":"description Example"}
Given I am on fruits and colors activity
When i select '${fruit}'
Then the color should be '${color}'

END

You can achieve that by using before or after Invocation testng listener method. If

Here is an example how you can access metadata from ItestReuslt object:

@Override
public void beforeInvocation(IInvokedMethod method, ITestResult tr) {

TestNGScenario scenario = (TestNGScenario) tr.getMethod();

//do the needful

scenario.getMetaData().put("referenceUrl",value);

}

You also can get ITestResult object for current running test outside listener using ApplicationProperties.CURRENT_TEST_RESULT.key. For example

ITestResult tr =  (ITestResult)getBundle().getProperty(ApplicationProperties.CURRENT_TEST_RESULT.key)
