Reporting With ReportNG

ReportNG is a plug-In for TestNG, using this we can generate HTML based report for our test.Here we learn how to setup ReportNG and how to build using ANT script.

•  ReportNg SetUP

               Step 1:

                     Dowload  ReportNG from here .

               Step 2:

                      Extract the downloaded folder after that it looks like that

                      The reportng-1.1.4.jar and velocity-dep-1.4.jar.jar files must be included into our project lib folder.

                Step 3:

       Write the Ant script as given below

<project name="TestNGTest" default="test" basedir=".">
    <!-- Define <testng> task -->
    <property name="testdir" location="test" />
    <property name="libdir" location="lib" />
    <property name="full-compile" value="true" />
    <path id="classpath.test">
        <fileset dir="${libdir}">
            <include name="**/*.jar" />
        </fileset>
        <pathelement location="${testdir}\class" />
    </path>
    <taskdef resource="testngtasks" classpathref="classpath.test"/>
    <target name="reportng" depends="testng">
        <mkdir  dir="${testdir}\ReportNgReport" />
        <testng outputdir="${testdir}\ReportNgReport" classpathref="classpath.test" useDefaultListeners="false" 
             haltonfailure="false"   listeners="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter,org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter">
        <xmlfileset dir="${testdir}\javaapplication3" includes="NewTestNGSuite.xml"/>
        <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.escape-output" value="false" />
        <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.velocity-log" value="true"/>
        <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.title" value="My Test Report"/>   
        <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.frames" value="true"/>   
        <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.failures-only" value="true"/>   
        <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.show-expected-exceptions" value="false"/>

  
        </testng>
    </target> 
</project> 

                 If we useDefaultListeners="false" then TestNg reporting files should not be created.


                 We need to set listner for HTML reporting
                    org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter
    
                 We need to set listner for JUnit reporting (optional)
                     org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter

                  We can also set the various system property of the ReportNg like rendering screenshot for test failure,change the default title, logging,only failure test shown on the html report etc......

•    Some Error handling in ReportNG SetUP

                    Problem 1:   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/inject/Module


                    Solution:Download guice-3.0 from here ,extract the files and add guice-3.0.jar in our project lib.

                    Problem 2: Velocity Log not created
            
                    Solution : Actually  if we set this <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.velocity-log" value="true"/>then log is created in system environment directory.So we need to set the working directory from TestNg.We can do this using workingdir attribute in <testng> tag like:                                         


<testng workingdir="${basedir}/ReportNG" outputdir="${basedir}/ReportNG" classpathref="masterclasspath"
                useDefaultListeners="false" listeners="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter,org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter">
