Generating link through Reporter.log()

[M Bharath Raj Reddy]

Hello,

I am using following code to generate the link for png file.

NewFileNamePath = "<a href=\"#\"  <span>" + NewFileNamePath + "</span> </a>";

System.out.println(NewFileNamePath);

Reporter.log(NewFileNamePath); 

Console Output: <a href="#"  <span>C:\eclipse\WorkspaceVSS\p2p\ScreenShots\Requisition_0001___Aug_21_2012__04_28_15PM_172.22.0.130.png</span> </a>

It is not generating link in the Reporter-Output, can some one help me in generating the link.


Regards,
Bharath.

could you please check the source of the report if it does not contain your output?

some time ago I get an issue when reporter was not properly escaping special characters e.g <>

[Bharath]

Hello,

I have verified the report, it is showing the below HTML

<span class="reporter-method-output">&lt;a href="#" &lt;span&gt;C:\eclipse\WorkspaceVSS\p2p\ScreenShots\Requisition_0001___Aug_22_2012__03_12_25PM_172.22.0.130.png&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;<br></span> 

When I update it manually with following HTML, it shows the hyper link.

<span class="reporter-method-output"><a href="#"><span>C:\eclipse\WorkspaceVSS\p2p\ScreenShots\Requisition_0002___Aug_21_2012__12_48_24PM_172.22.0.130.png</span></a></span> 

Thanks,

Bharath.

In my opinion that is a bug in Reporter. It should properly escape all characters. I will try to investigate this later on when will have some time

Thank you Roman.

Why are you doing "&lt;" in your string?  I simply do this:
                String str = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/"; // Current dir
                selenium.captureScreenshot(filename);
                Reporter.log("<img src=\"file:///" + str + filename +
                             "\" alt=\"\"/><br />");

Where filename is simply the name of the file, of course.

Hello Mike,

I am getting following output on the screen

[img src="file:///C:\eclipse\WorkspaceVSS\p2p\ScreenShots\Testing_1___Aug_27_2012__06_58_41PM_172.22.0.130.png" alt=""/][br /]

If you look at my example code you will see I use a forward slash for the path, because Java will replace it in Windows if it has to.

Still, I am not sure that is your issue here.

Try looking at the page source for the report where it has the link.

You should also be able to put the path into your location field in the browser and have it display the image.  If it doesn't work then your path is likely incorrect.
