Selenium Framework for Beginners 11 | How to use Extent Reports with TestNG in Selenium Java

[@balajiramanan2114]

"Thanks to the power of infinity". I have seen 100 to 150 to 200 hours of selenium courses listed in many learning portals, which gave me an initial idea of what selenium is all about but this lecture series on selenium is just the finest essence of all good stuff seen there so far. Great explanation in crisp way. Thanks a lot. I wish to follow all your courses and recommend to friends of mine to watch your videos, who have interest in learning. Please help by posting many great works like this. All the very best. :)

They are diff libraries, TestNG is mostly a testing framework and Extent Reports is a reporting library

Hi Raghav, This session was really helpful. Can you answer my one question: Is it good practice to use Log4j and Extent report at the same time?

You can, extent report is to add results in a report. Logging you can use for more deeper troubleshooting

[@davidsierrafernandez1744]

Hi, I have a question. In my tests files(the ones with the extension .java that do the tests) there are a lots of tests whose title (the one that goes inside of createTest function) has strange characters like accents (á, é, è,etc.) and once the extent.html report is generated it displays them as a question mark. What can I do to solve it?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi David, do you mean that your test case title has some characters and you need them to be displayed as it is in the extent reports. Check this github.com/anshooarora/extentreports-java/issues/65 You can also search for "extent reports how to do encoding"

[@sandhyajangra2571]

I am not able to add maven dependencies. Mave dependencies folder is not showing in the list.

[@RaghavPal]

There are a few reasons why the Maven dependencies folder might not be showing in the list. Here are a few things you can check: 1. Make sure that you have Maven installed and configured correctly. 2. Make sure that the Maven project is properly imported into your IDE. 3. Make sure that the Maven dependencies folder is enabled in your IDE. Here are some instructions on how to do each of these things: 1. To check if Maven is installed and configured correctly, open a command prompt and type `mvn --version`. If Maven is installed and configured correctly, you should see the Maven version number printed to the console. 2. To import a Maven project into your IDE, follow the instructions for your specific IDE. For example, in IntelliJ IDEA, you can import a Maven project by clicking on `File` > `New` > `Project from Existing Sources` and selecting the Maven project directory. 3. To enable the Maven dependencies folder in your IDE, follow the instructions for your specific IDE. For example, in IntelliJ IDEA, you can enable the Maven dependencies folder by clicking on `View` > `Tool Windows` > `Maven Projects`. If you have checked all of these things and the Maven dependencies folder is still not showing, you can try the following: 1. Restart your IDE 2. Invalidate the Maven cache 3. Delete the Maven project and import it again If you are still having problems, you can try searching for help online or contacting the Maven support team Here are some additional tips for adding Maven dependencies to your Selenium Java project: * When adding a Maven dependency, make sure to specify the correct version of the dependency. * You can use Maven to manage the dependencies of your Selenium Java project. * Maven can automatically download and install the dependencies of your project. * Maven can also be used to build and deploy your Selenium Java project.

What is the difference between extend reports and testng reports(html reports). Both r used to generate the results right?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Aishwarya, yes both are used to generate results. Its the format and features that differ. Extent reports provide a good html format and can also customize the messages we want to log in reports

I have added the setup and after ctrl+shift+o is it still showing error for ExtentHtmlReporter, I can see package is not imported automatically and when I am adding it by myself giving me error, please help.

[@RaghavPal]

Omair To create reports using Extent Reports in Selenium Java on Eclipse IDE, you will need to add the following dependencies to your pom.xml file: XML com.aventstack extentreports 5.0.9 com.aventstack extentreports-reporter-html 5.0.9 Once you have added the dependencies, you will need to import the following packages: Java import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentReports; import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentTest; import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentHtmlReporter; You can then create an ExtentHtmlReporter object and pass in the path to where you want to save the report: Java ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter("report.html"); Next, you need to create an ExtentReports object and pass in the ExtentHtmlReporter object: Java ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports(); extent.attachReporter(htmlReporter); Now, you can create ExtentTest objects for each of your test cases: Java ExtentTest test = extent.createTest("Test Case 1"); You can use the ExtentTest object to log the status of your test case, as well as any additional information that you want to include in the report: Java test.log(Status.PASS, "Test Case 1 passed"); Finally, you need to flush the extent report: Java extent.flush(); This will generate the report at the path that you specified. If you are getting an error for ExtentHtmlReporter, it is likely that you have not imported the correct package. Make sure that you have imported the following package: Java import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentHtmlReporter; If you are still having problems, you can try the following: * Restart Eclipse. * Clean and build your project. * Check your pom.xml file to make sure that you have added the correct dependencies. * Contact Extent Reports support for help. I hope this helps
