QAF Report | Standalone Report without hosting the server.

[Abdur Rehman Ashraf]

Hi,

I've become an instant fan of QAF when I started using it. Totally appreciatable.

Question: 

I've been using QAF Report and it's been serving the purpose but when I want to view the report then the server needed to be hosted (IDE hosts it for us).

But I'm looking for a solution where I can view the report without hosting the server by just opening dashboard.htm then It consolidates/retains all the previous execution history. In this way, I can also send the report as an email attachment.

Is there any way to compress all the reports files (dashboard folder) or any other way to make it happen except the hosting dashboard folder on AWS S3 bucket.

I'm using with TestNG + BDDTestFactory2

Thanks

If you want to view report locally you can open dashboard.html in browser without any server. In order to allow browser for local file access, you may required to do required settings by browser. Regarding email, it is not good idea to send entire report as email attachment. Better is sharing the link of you CI where report generated.

Can you tell me what are those settings for browser to open standalone report from outside of ide?
I checked the link given in above link but not able to find the description of settings for browser.

[Abdur Rehman Ashraf]

Did you try the following method for chrome as mentioned in the above link?

Chrome

• Close down your Chrome browser (make sure you close all instances if you have multiple windows open)
• Go to Run and type the following command: chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-file.
• Hit enter.

Yes I have tried and it works but I was looking for solution where I can open without making any of these settings before opening the report because I have to send this report to customer and really ask him to these settings to view report is annoying.

This feature still need to be addressed. Actually I'm still looking for workaround to get standalone emailable report just like ExtentReport without hosting the server and I've made custom (non-recommended) solution to address this feature which is at end of test execution I compress the whole test result folder into .rar format and email to target recipients and then they'll uncompress the folder in order to view results.

If you find any better solution please let me know.

Thanks

I will check and update but this is drawback of this framework.
This is very small thing which should work without any hack but I observed the same problems exist even if you try to open in eclipse ide.
Intelj works fine with report due to internal built-in server.

Currently QAF report is a distributed report by design, for better UI performance(lazy loading on UI). It is not a single page report like other reporting tools. Even the detailing you get in in QAF report is larger in size, which can't be integrated with Single Page HTML Report.

Generally, we use Jenkins or any other CI tools for execution purpose can directly share your jenkins report link to others. Hope this helps.
We are working on other reporting which you can share but still its under development. But definitely that is going to be entire different report.

Thanks for the update.
You can think of single report which is very light and just give the summary of test and no need of any analysis so that this will be useful to share it with customers and this report can also be coexist with the current report.
Current report is very good when we give POC to client they will always remember this report and would ask us to share as a standalone because the CI may not be accessible to everyone.
