how to store serenity reports in new folder with timestamp(folderName-timestamp) when maven is build

[pg12...@gmail.com]

how to automatically store serenity-bdd reports in new folder with timestamp (e.g.: folder_name-timestamp) when I build maven project each time?

I want to achieve this: whenever I build the maven project, a new folder with timestamp (e.g.: folder_name-timestamp) should get created & the reports should get automatically stored in the newly created folder. In serenity.properties file, we can give "serenity.outputDirectory" property to configure the new path & folder to store reports. But how to append that folder name with timestamp automatically?

You would do this at a separate Gradle or Maven step, or as part of your CI build - it is not in the scope of Serenity as such.

Thank you John for quick reply and also, for suggesting an approach to the problem.

Can anyone please help me with this problem using Maven? Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Is there a reason you would need to do this on your local machine and not on a CI server?

I am able to achieve this because of your suggestion: I have added two maven steps in pom.xml. 

First step: Added the output directory in configuration: 

            <plugin>

                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins</groupId>

                <artifactId>serenity-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                <version>${serenity.version}</version>

                <executions>

                    <execution>

                        <id>serenity-reports</id>

                        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>

                        <goals>

                            <goal>aggregate</goal>

                        </goals>

                        <configuration>

            <outputDirectory>A:/reports - ${current.time}</outputDirectory>

        </configuration>

                    </execution>

                </executions>

            </plugin>

 

Second Step: Added timestamp plugin

       <plugin>

              <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

              <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>

              <executions>

                  <execution>

                      <id>current-time</id>

                      <phase>validate</phase>

                      <goals>

                          <goal>timestamp-property</goal>

                      </goals>

                      <configuration>

                          <name>current.time</name>

                          <pattern>dd-MM-yyyy_HH-mm-ss</pattern>

                          <timeZone>IST</timeZone>

                      </configuration>

                  </execution>

              </executions>

      </plugin>

Thank you for the help John.
