Nice HTML report using WebDriver

[Corbellini]

Hi Guys!

I am finding some solution to have a nice HTML report like the LoggingSelenium in the Selenium WebDriver.

I have tested the EventFiringWebDriver, but it didn''t report all the elements, or I can be doing some mistakes...

For example ... Reporting the following commands:

driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.findElement(By.name("vt_user")).sendKeys("Test");
driver.findElement(By.name("vt_pass")).sendKeys("Test");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div/table/tbody/tr[4]/td[2]/a/img")).click();

Is there some way to get these events and add in a HTML report?

Any suggestions would be appreciated... :-)

Thanks in advance.

So do you say that LoggingSelenium works well with WebDriver too.

Is there a equivalent of that for C#

cheers,

EventFiringWebDriver will only trigeer your methods from events in the application page.

Going to a URL and finding elements on a page are WebDriver only functionlaity that will not trigger any events on the currently loaded application, so you would need to write entries in your logs separately those actions.

[Shaba K]

Are you talking about WebDriverEventListener

I don't see an equivalent of it for c#

Ooops it is indeed  EventFiringWebDriver 

[Corbellini]

oops Shaba... sorry for my mistake!

I say that LoggingSelenium works well with Selenium 1 (RC)... I am finding something to the Selenium WebDriver...

The LoggingSelenium had a nice HTML report...

Guys... Is there a HTML report like this to the Selenium WebDriver?

Thanks in advance.

[Oscar Rieken]

what are you using for your tests? most testing frameworks have built in report generations

[Shaba K]

he is talking abt logging reports 

[Corbellini]

That's it... I am talking about Logging reports...

I am using Selenium WebDriver and JUnit... I am trying to find something like LoggingSelenium, because it has a detailed report, but this LoggingSelenium doesn't work in the WebDriver...

Any suggestions would be appreciated... :-)

Thanks in advance. 

[Edwolb]

I'm not sure if its exactly the same, but ReportNG is a nice looking HTML report for TestNG.  Not sure if there's an equivalent for JUnit, but in general what I've found is that events do not log themselves, you need to manually log steps along the way.  We've gotten our framework to the point where our test libraries do the logging for us, and our test classes just call the test libraries, which is very helpful.

I stumbled upon

WebDriverEventListener but am not sure how logging is going to occur for action classes.

I dont know... I need a HTML report detailed like this in the Selenium WebDriver...



I have tried TestNG, but it is not a nice report...

I will study this WebDriverEventListener...

Thanks in advance.

[Corbellini]

oops... I forgot to add the example report detailed...

Any suggestions would be appreciated... :-)

Thanks in advance.

Yes... That's it...

I have searched about HTML report detailed to Selenium WebDriver, but I didn't find anything... :-(

I think I will need to create a custom HTML report, but I don't know what is the class that I can listen all the elements of the WebDriver...for example:



driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys("blablabla");

On this example above... I would like to report the command (sendKeys), value added (blablabla) and status (PASS/FAIL)...

Shaba say WebDriverEventListener can listen these actions... I will search about it...

Thanks in advance.

[Corbellini]

Thanks Alister for your replay!

I have tested the ReportNG and it doesn't have a report detailed.... I would like to have a report like this LoggingSelenium to WebDriver.

Corbellini,

Not sure if this will help, but I stumbled across a very simple implementation of ReportNG here - http://selenium2test.blogspot.com/2012/03/reportng-selenium.html 

Now, I don't know what is the equivalent for Junit, but why not give this a try?

I think you are looking at a step by step logging of  errors/info/debug 

Just like the one we get from webserver.

Am after the same for c#

That's it Shaba... :-) a step by step report getting all actions.

I don't know how I can do that...

I am downloading the selenium code now to understand it better.

Anyone has already made a step by step report to WebDriver?

Any suggestions would be appreciated... :-)

Thanks in advance.

[Oscar Rieken]

ok so I guess now I will ask why do you need logging at such a detailed level 

perhaps you just need to know that each step in your scenarios is passing 

maybe you should look into something like jbehave or cucumber-jvm but I still woulding go to that detail to report that each send key sent the keys successfully since I am not testing webdriver and how it works.

Thanks Oscar for your replay! :-)

That is the reason why a report detailed to facilitate identifying which point failed... and where we are in the test...

I just want a report with the same level of LoggingSelenium (http://loggingselenium.sourceforge.net/samples/sampleResultJunitAssertionFailed.html) to WebDriver.

Thanks in advance.

[Corbellini]

Thanks Shaba... I will look that...

[qualityworld]

I Use Ant Junitreport to create my html reports. A detailed log report was included as part of this report in Selenium I RC. Using the same Ant Commands with webdriver, I get the same basic HTML report but the detailed log reports are not created or linked when using webdriver. I used these detailed logs for debugging sometimes and they were very useful. Too bad we lost this functionality. I looked for a solution for a while but gave up.

[Anderson Corbellini]

I am looking for a HTML report detailed like this LoggingSelenium ... Until now I didn't find anything, but I won't give up... :-)

I know we do not have frameworks that report this step by step on Selenium WebDriver, so I'm researching to develop one...

If anyone has any more solution please reply in this thread...

Thanks in advance

TestNG does a fair job and you can enhance it with ReportNG.

Mike

[Anderson Corbellini]

Hi Mike!

Can I have a HTML report (step by step) with ReportNG?

I want to get all the commands of the Selenium WebDriver...

I think ReportNG gets actions by methods (@Test) and reports them in HTML.

Thanks in advance.

That depends on what you mean with step by step.  What do you consider a "step"?

I have not used ReportNG myself, just TestNG.  For additional info with TestNG I put out additional info using Reporter.log() about any particular test.

Mike

[Anderson Corbellini]

I consider a step by step report like this example...

Link: http://loggingselenium.sourceforge.net/samples/sampleResultJunitAssertionFailed.html

Getting all WebDriver actions... for example:

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

driver.sendKeys("Cheese!");

Thanks in advance.

@Mike,

He was keen on NUnit report is guess, not sure TestNG fits his requirement.

@People

The TestNG has not a custom report detailed that it can provide a step by step...

I am trying to create a custom report for Selenium WebDriver, but I don't know how I can get the actions on it.

If anyone know any solution to report step by step in the Selenium WebDriver, please share it... :-)

Thanks in advance

[Peter Gale]

I think you'd have to write a wrapper function for each WebDriver action and write the log entries you require before/after executing each WebDriver action.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Here are a couple of approaches that I can think of :

1. Approach one

Abstract the Webelement as your own class and define specific classes for each of the html element types i.e., define an Abstract Class which would have the common features of all html element operations [click is a good example], extend this abstract class and define concrete implementations for button, textbox, textarea, link, image etc., and provide user friendly methods for click, type etc., and within these methods, embed the relevant logging.

2. Approach two

Use the EventFiringWebDriver implementation instead of the other concrete flavors of WebDriver. Register an event listener [a class that implements WebDriverEventListener] to this WebDriver and within your event listener class, implement the necessary logging mechanism.

[The caveat here is, this wouldn't work with operations triggered via org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actionsas well as org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select]

Thanks & Regards

[Anderson Corbellini]

Hi Guys!

Sorry for my delay to answer your sugestions... Thank for all the replays... :-)

@Peter Gale

That's it... I'd have to write a wrapper function for each WebDriver.

@Krishnan Mahadevan

I think the approach number one is the best... I will be researching how I can do this implementation. 

@Logan Masniuk

Sure... We are in the same boat... :P We can work together to find a solution. I want to get all the actions of WebDriver as the  LoggingSelenium get with the Selenium RC. I have already studied the LoggingSelenium code, but I had no success. I added you on GoogleTalk, then we can exchange any idea.

If anyone has already gone through it... please share it with us. 

Thanks in advance

I am currently trying to solve the same problem as you Corbellini.

I have different classes for each test case that I need and am currently logging the actions using java.util.logging.*

Here is my code for setting up the logger

<code>

import java.io.IOException;

import java.util.logging.FileHandler;

import java.util.logging.Level;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter;

public class DebugLogger {

    public static Logger setUpLogger() {

        Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("theTest.log");

        Level debugLevel = Level.INFO;

//        Level debugLevel = Level.FINE;

        try {

            FileHandler handler = new FileHandler("messagez.log", false);

            logger.addHandler(handler);

            logger.setLevel(debugLevel);

            SimpleFormatter formatter = new SimpleFormatter();

            handler.setFormatter(formatter);

        } catch (IOException e){

            System.out.println("Could not create file. Using the console handler");

        }

        return logger;

    }

}

<code>

The problem with my approach is that I have to include a line of code before each action that I want to log for example
<code> logger.info("Starting Test: Open Webpage");<code> This would be used when I start the test, I set the logging level as INFO so that it appears in my log no matter what
or for individual actions I use <code>logger.fine("Type 'aquarium' into search bar");<code>

I log the start and end of the test in the INFO level and use a line of code on logging level FINE for each action that I do and in my DebugLogger class I simply set the debugLevel to FINE(by commenting out INFO and de-commenting FINE). I set the debugLevel to fine if the test fails and I need to pinpoint where it failed(by looking at the generated log).

This method works, BUT it generates a single .log file that is just a large block of text, with alot of repeated timecode text.

For example:

24-Aug-2012 9:27:24 AM com.company.tests.OpenWebpage testOpenWebpage

INFO: Starting Test: Open Webpage in FireFox

24-Aug-2012 9:27:29 AM com.company.tests.OpenWebpage testOpenWebpage

INFO:Open Webpage has Passed in FireFox

24-Aug-2012 9:27:30 AM com.company.tests.OpenWebpage testOpenWebpage

INFO: Starting Test:  Open Webpage  in Chrome

24-Aug-2012 9:27:35 AM com.company.tests.OpenWebpage testOpenWebpage

INFO:  Open Webpage has Passed in Chrome

Now imagine this repeated over and over for more than 15 test cases.

Also I think it would be worth mentioning that I am not using selenium grid due to the fact that I have searched high and low trying to figure out how to implement cross-browser testing in the grid to no avail. Instead my tests run sequentially in firefox then chrome using a driverFactory that I created.

All that being said, I am stuck in the same boat as you trying to figure out how to log these individual steps, and the pass/failure of a test case in a easy to read HTML file and am stuck. After reading all the comments I believe I am looking for the same kind of logging functionality that you desire and hope that we can find out a solution.

One thing I have noticed is that support for selenium on the web exists for many different implementations and often times I find it very hard to find solutions particular to my setup which is; Selenium Webdriver testing in Java using JUnit for testing. Most resources I find are solving Selenium RC issues, not webdriver.

If anyone can help us out that would be awesome!

Hi Corbellini,

Even I am looking for similar solution.

Keep me posted.

Let me know if I can help.

Also, should you/we try to port seleniumlogging with webdriver?

Or hook them together using with WebdriverbackedSelenium class?

Anil

[Corbellini]

Hi Anil!

The SeleniumLogging just works with Selenium RC, I have tried to adapt it to WebDriver, but I had not success.

We should create a listener class to get all the events of WebDriver, but I couldn't identify which the best solution.

According to posts previous there are the EventFiringWebDriver and WebDriverEventListener that can be used to listen the events.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I know this is an old question, but in case you are still looking for a solution or other readers are, with C#, depending upon the type of logging you are trying to create, you can either use ExtentReports if you want to use a logger type utility or ReportUnit if you want to simply convert your test-framework results into HTML.

Samples:

ExtentReports:  http://relevantcodes.com/extentreports-for-selenium/ | http://relevantcodes.com/Tools/ExtentReports2/Extent.html
ReportUnit: http://relevantcodes.com/reportunit-report-generator/ | http://relevantcodes.com/Tools/ReportUnit/Index.html
